9 months old (sorry, no pictures this time)

David turned 9 months old on March 19th (I know, I know, this post is a little late) Things have been a little busy around here and we are getting ready to fly to Utah in the morning, so I just wanted to quickly post David's 9 month stats before we leave. Here are his measurements:
Weight: 22 pounds 14.5 ounces
Height: 30 inches
Head Circumference: 47.5 inches
He is a strong, healthy, BIG boy! He is the 80th percentile for weight and 90th percentile for height. He is getting around and into everything. He still does the army crawl, but can get himself up onto all fours and will crawl for a few steps, then gets down and army crawls the rest of the way. He can also get up to sitting by himself and pulls himself up to standing. It won't be long before he takes off running:) He is growing and developing right on track. He has the cutest little laugh, but we call him our serious boy. He always has a serious look on his face!
Well, I better get packing. I am sure we will have lots to post after this weekend. Happy Easter everyone!!!!

spaghetti dinner

So David is a GREAT eater, he will eat anything and everything (even receipts...yes, he ate a receipt!) Last night I made spaghetti and decided to let him feed himself. I remember doing this with Kimmie and it was such a fun night. She was almost a year old when we did it, so he is a little ahead. I just couldn't stop taking pictures, he LOVES the camera!!!

taking it slow at the start

can't stop him now

chew, chew, chew

I love that little face!!

Mr. Giggles:)

Ok, so I know Kimmie and David look a lot alike, but I didn't realize how much!! I found a couple pictures from when I let Kimmie feed herself spaghetti and thought I would post those so you can see for yourself how much they look alike - remember that Kimmie was 1 at the time, and David is only 9 months, but it bigger than her:)

Aren't they both just SO CUTE?!?!?!

you spin me right round baby

Ok, so maybe that is a little cruel of us, but he LOVES to spin around, and we had to capture it on video. If you didn't catch it the first time, watch his eyes when Nathan stops spinning him, so funny:)
Other than torturing our children, we have been very busy. David got his cast off on March 9th. They said everything looks great and he is getting around quickly without it. At first you could tell it was strange to him, but now you can't even tell he ever had a cast on. His arm was pretty smelly after they took it off, so we gave him and Kimmie a bath. They loved being in there together. David loves to splash, which was a lot of fun for Kimmie too.
Finals are this week for me and Seth. I don't know why, but this term has been extra hard. Seth will graduate in December, which is such a great feeling! And as of right now I am on track to graduate in December 2011. Trying to do school with two little ones is not always easy, but I know it will be worth it.
Well, that should catch everyone up on what we have been doing. And as always here are a bunch of pictures.....

Ok, this is probably my FAVORITE picture of David. He just looks so adorable!!!

Kimmie's hair is getting so long (and I just gave her another haircut before this picture)

playing together

She hasn't used a binky since she was 2 months old, but loves to put baby brother's binkys in her mouth, two at a time!

Another great picture of David, I love his little grin

Kimmie wanted BOTH of them to wear their Mickey ears from Disney World. David doesn't look happy in this picture, but I promise he didn't mind that much:)

bath after getting David's cast off

he tries to stand up all the time. We helped him get up to standing, but he does a great job on his own to stay up

a nursing cover and matching diaper wipe case that I made for a friend from church. I love how these turned out and they were super easy (and cheap)
