9 months old

On June 19, 2012, Gus turned 9 months!  Totally crazy!!!!  He is my big guy.  Here are some of the things that he is doing now.

• ARMY Crawling!  He is finally on the move so now it is time to get out the baby gates!!!  He gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth but then flops to his tummy.
• He can go from all fours to sitting.
• He is starting to try to pull himself up on things.  he gets to his knees and then gives up.
• He has a lovey.  A blanket with a monkey head!
• He is my sleeper.  Asleep by 8:30 and he gets up around 7. 
• He is beginning to wave good-bye.
• He loves the pool and bathtime!!!  The child loves to be in the water and splash.  He gets so excited!!
• He pulled himself to standing in his crib!
• Stats:
• Weight:  20 lbs. 11 ounces (50th percentile)
• Lenght: 28 3/4 inches long (70th percentile)
• Head: 46 cm (75th percentile)

Here are some Addison moments the last couple of months:

• Mom, I can't know words. ( when she doesn't know the words to a song or a book)
• This is my baby Isla, she was in my tummy for three years!
• Mom and I are girls and Daddy and Gus are boys.  (she is very concerned with this right now)
• Addison jumped off the diving boards at the pool all by herself (with her wings on)
• She loves to put her face in the water and try to swim.  She has a hard time and needs to learn to keep her rear-end up and kick.  She looks more like she is running in the water.
• After mommy completed her triathlon, Addison said to me "mom, I want to run a race."
• "Sippisippi" river (Mississippi River)

Summer

Summer is underway and we have already been busy!  I am training for a triathlon that I am not going to be ready for in two weeks.  Yikes, I am going to die!  We have been swimming a couple of times.  Addison is jumping off the board and is a wild woman in the pool.  Gus is unsure but seems to like the heated big pool in a floaty.  The baby pool on the other hand, he is not quite as fond of yet.  It is too cold!!!!  We got up north next week for Craig's (Ryan's bro) wedding.  At the end of July, we are going to be in South Carolina for a week.  It is going to be a hard long trip in the car with two chitlins so any pointers or advise is welcome!  It should be a great time when we get there. First experience for both of them of the BEACH!!!  We are going to be active this summer and I am so excited about it!!!  Happy Summer Everyone!!!!!
