Nine Months Old!

It's so hard to believe that Will's 9 months old - he had a great doctor's appointment and I was relieved to get a clean bill of health after a 104.5° fever last week. He measured a long 29 inches (75-80%) and was 18 pounds, 4 ounces (20%). His weight made me laugh....everyone is always telling us what a chunk he is and I always want to say, it's only his cheeks!!! Well, his weight today confirmed this - he's my little peanut and 80% of nine months old are bigger than my little boy:)

Will's doing great and becoming very squirmy as he discovers his mobility!! He continues to be happy and easy going. There are now four teeth in his little mouth and more hair on top of his head. He claps whenever he hears music and waves and says a sound that resembles "hi" whenever you acknowledge him.

Here is our little boy at 9 months:

Mountains!

We just got home from our girl's week in Colorado - we had a great week with family on my mom's side. It was so special to have three generations together!!

It's finally here...

Fall is in the air!!

I just love my kiddos sporting their long sleeves and hats....there's nothing better!

Fun in the Sun

We closed out our summer by spending Labor Day up at Higgins Lake. The weather was, for the first time all summer, PERFECT!!! We had such a great time being outside, soaking up the sun and playing in the water. Paige, our brave 2-year-old, decided it was time to have a try at tubing. She did great!! She was waving, smiling and having a blast. The boys skied and wake surfed, the girls laid out out on the dock, and the kids ran around until they had no more energy left. Isn't summer the greatest? Here are some pictures of our fun, sun-filled weekend:

Happy boy
