Our Silly Kiddos!

Alex is "cheesing" here but he actually wasn't too happy. Dr. Joyce said we can start giving him table foods, so we gave him some turkey lunch meat to eat and he just didn't know how to chew it or what to do with it. He kept sliding it out of his mouth with his tongue -- what a character! :) We had Alex's 9 Month Check-up this week and he is just growing and growing! He grew 3 inches (now 29") and is up to 20# 6 ozs. He is in the 75% for height and 60% for weight -- hard to believe he's finally taller than wide! He is such a tank! :)

Dr. Joyce is pleased with his development and she said she would be surprised if he didn't start cruising around furniture and walking soon. He's just on the go all the time now and into all of Emily's toys -- which does cause some drama for his sister! What else are little brothers for, I guess?! :)

He has found his reflection in the fireplace this week and just loves to give himself kisses! :)

This is Emily with some Lego flowers on her fingers. She thought she was pretty cool with them on all of her fingers!! :)

Emily helped me and my mom paint yesterday -- she was actually pretty good! I think I see home improvement jobs in her future!!! :)
