MY LIL' ACTRESS

Marissa played a bird in a play last Friday called Lil' Red at a Theater Downtown.
She was a bright bird, but could only find a pink boa. I think it turned out cute.
Marissa and I before her play!
Cheese!

JAKE AT 9 MONTHS

Jake turned 9 months last week. He had his appointment today.
He is 24 pounds
29 1/8 inches long
I think he is slimmen out...:)
He is now crawling crazy fast, and loves to climb the stairs and go into the bathroom.
Lately he thinks he can walk, he pulls up on furniture or us, and then lets go. Atleast he tumbles pretty smoothly...hasn't got hurt...yet...
He LOVES Team Umizoomi...if he is crying or upset, we turn that on, and he STOPS and STARES!!
He loves going in the pool, and gets mad when no one takes him.
He loves eating with Daddy, i think he thinks that is what daddy is for..."want some chips..crawl to daddy!" :)
He has the 2 bottom teeth, and i got a shot of his top front 2 teeth starting to break thru the gums!
He loves going out on the boat, and swimming in his life jacket with daddy in the lake.
He, like the other kids, LOVES to be outside! Good thing its 110 all the time, cuz we dont' go out much. :(
He is finally sleeping better...likes to get up a lot from 3am on, but usually goes back to sleep if i go put his pacifier back in. He gets up at 6am, which i don't like, but better then up all nite!
He smiles A LOT....people love talking to him, but at home he does have to be entertained constantly if we don't want whining...but all around he is a pretty good kid!

MY BIG BOY!

Look at my big 8 month old, with his 11 month old cousin Mia. We forget how big he is, until we get him next to other babies!
These 2 were worn out, after our day at the lake...poor Mia...plus you can see the fear in Jake's eye, as he is a little terrified of her...ha ha!
