Evan is 9 Months




What a busy month it has been for our little EWok!!
He started checking off milestones right after turning 8 months so it has been very exciting over here!

  • Started signing (4-14)! First sign was 'More' - wanting more food , Second sign 'milk',  Third sign was 'Dada' ... Although they don't look perfect, he is attempting, and we are proud!
  • Rolls over from back to tummy, especially/ mostly when in his crib... - Started sleeping on his tummy (4-16) ...which helped him start sleeping better
  • Loves standing while holding on to something (ottoman/ toy). Will stand for a long time and sometimes takes small steps (cruising) while holding on
  • Clapping- a lot! He loves clapping and will clap with you whenever you clap
  • Pincher- grip/ feeding himself finger foods (5-2): first time was at Jason's Deli 
  • And very exciting for mama- he has started sleeping through the night much more often! Got a whole week in a row of over 11 hours a night right at the end of his 8th month...YAY! 
  • Taking 2 naps a day- and getting a more regular schedule. Usually his morning nap is shorter 40 mins-1 hour) and his afternoon nap is longer, average of 2 hrs. He goes down very easily and wakes up happy!! 
  • Eating 4-5 bottles a day for a total of 24-30 oz and 2-3 meals


Poor patient Evan! 
This is a pretty rare moment for our Ewok... Evan does not cry unless something is really bothering him- and it's usually easy to remedy... Mad at me for forcing a crawl stance here... poor baby!  He really is the happiest little guy all the time!



Yay!!! Clapping!!

Went back to Trampoline Park on Sunday... LJ has gotten so much better and more confident - guess all the practice time on his little trampoline is paying off! Still so much fun for Dad...  And the Mamas finally get in on all the fun!  Last time we went I was VERY pregnant and couldn't jump... but not this time! I see a frequent Sunday family outing in our future! A little sliding time... And video gaming! Too much fun!!

Ellie - Our Earliest Crawler!

Our little 'surprise' baby got us again and started crawling 2 months earlier than the boys did! She was close for about a week, and then at just about 8.5 months, she took her first crawls! She is getting the hang of it quickly... time to secure the legos that seem to always be all over the floor! First she started rocking on her knees, and doing little army crawls/ knees/ army crawl to get places. Then about a week later, we saw her first crawls. Within a week after those first crawls, she was all over the place!!! She will come find me in the kitchen if I leave her sitting in the living room and will venture all over the house! She's not fast, but she's pretty good! And so proud of herself! Here are some videos of her progress...

Mother's Day Celebrations

Image
What a special and spoiled week I had!!! On Tuesday I picked these two precious things up from Champions:  Then the first celebration (well not including the Chick-fil-a mom-son date knight) was on Wednesday. LJ's class at WHPP had a Mother's Day Tea- and how lucky we were that Gigi came to town late on Tuesday night and was able to join me!!  Since Gigi was there (the only Grandmother in the room!), we got a table all to ourselves... and also LJ had twice the amount of work! He served both Gigi and me our tea/ lemonade, cookies, and fruit snacks!  He made me a very fun necklace and made me a new coffee mug all wrapped up...      I started crying when I read it: "This is the hand you used to hold when I was only 4 years old" with a hand print ned to it!!! How special!!  And a flower for Gigi!!!   This was outside LJ's classroom...  I am chopped liver with these two! Haha!!  We picked up Evan a...
