9 and Counting.

I am amazed that my little girl who is 8 months old has 9 teeth!  I discovered this while tickling her.  As she laughed I was astonished to see so much white.  At the time I was only aware of four.  To my surprise there were a few that were hiding.  She officially has 7 that have popped through, but I can see the other teeth waiting to pop through.  Her new name...... jaws!

A Flashback!

When I was going through my photos I came across this picture of JJ in his Christmas pajamas 1/15/11.  I had to post the photos of him then and now.

Going for our first ride.

Reese got to go for her first ride in the cozy coupe, before we will have to put it away for the season.  She enjoyed it and JJ enjoyed his bike.  We're still working on the pedals.

Reese and her first puff!

Today we gave Reese her first puffs.  After one being thrown in the floor she got the hang of it and enjoyed them.

Countdown to Christmas.

We made our Christmas countdown chain.  JJ is starting to get the hang of tearing off a chain each night before he goes to bed.  He points to the chain and says Ho Ho Ho.

Outing with Friends

The first night that Jim is hunting I decided to take the kids out to Applebees. We met up with two of my teaching friends and there kids. We had a total of 10 of us. It was so much fun and JJ and Reese did an amazing job.

New Bedtime Tradition

Tonight JJ and I tried something new. Instead of reading a book at bedtime we made up a story together. It was a story about a boy named JJ and his sister named Reese. JJ woke up one day and was the "king of the world" and he got to choose what he wanted to be. The first day he chose to be a bird and fly above the trees, the second day he chose to be a monkey swinging through the trees, and the third day he chose to be a frog hopping around. Every night he went to sleep tired from the day's activities. One day he woke up and realized that he wanted to be himself and he spent the day with his family and was super happy. Every time JJ said "YEAH!" when I told him he was the king of the world. At the end of the story he said, "more!". I told him that we would come up with another story tomorrow. I tucked him in bed and as always as I got to the door and he was standing up in his crib holding his blanket saying "uh oh!". He then wants me to tuck him in again. I love that little game that we play.

Learning New Things

Look who learned how to take off his shirt and is super proud of it.
