Tumble Bug!

Emma started tumbling a couple of weeks ago. She loves it and is having lots of fun!

Here she is showing me her cartwheel. There are two things she wanted to learn: a handstand and a cartwheel and she has already learned both! 

9 Months!

Another month has passed our Jakey is now 9 months old! He's doing great! Here are some fun things that he has been doing!

• He is babbling and "talking" more. He says Mamamama, and Dadadada,and lots of other babbling. I swear he says Mama when he wants me. 
• He is still army crawling, but he is getting up on his knees a lot. I'm sure he will be crawling soon. 
• He is starting to eat solid foods a little better, and is still nursing great. His favorite is applesauce.
• He still does not sleep through the night. I'm going to start doing some sleep training. Oh it is tough. I wish he would just sleep!
• Jakob has his two front bottom teeth. They came in when he was about 7 1/2 months. 
• He is still a Mama's boy, but goes to Daddy a lot easier now. 
• Jakob gets into everything! He loves cords, we had to put all of them up. He goes after big stuff like furniture. He pushes Emma's little chairs around the floor. He loves balls, and other toys, but he loves to go after anything he can reach. He is very curious. Keeps me busy!
• He is our joy and is so much fun everyday! 

Here are his 9 month stats!

Height: 27.5 inches

Weight: 17lbs 12 oz

His percentages dropped a little bit from his 6 month visit. 

He saw the camera and wanted it! I had a hard time taking pictures. He just wanted to play!

Some Everydaynesses

We have been busy lately with school, finishing up our remodel (pictures to come soon), and just the every day fun times of life. 

Emma loves her brother. Aren't these too cute!

Last night for Family Home Evening we delivered loafs of banana and zucchini bread to some friends to celebrate Fall!

Jakob is so busy! He is a curious little boy who is getting into everything! Here he is crawling under a table to find some more goodies he isn't supposed to touch. 

We cut down to big trees in our backyard! We had 6 pine trees and now we're down to 4. We have a lot more sunlight coming into our house and the yard feels a lot more open!

Emma's teacher is wonderful and texts us pictures of the class sometimes! She is doing so good in school. She loves every minute of it! 

In this pic she is the one turning around in the white shirt with orange and pink on it. 

In this pic she is the jeans with the gray shirt and pony tail. 

They are having a brain break and dancing to some music!
