Abby's 9 month pics

Already Nine Months Old

I took Abby to the doctor this week for her 9 month check up and she did great and she didn't have to have any shots! She weighs 16 lbs. and is 27 inches long. the doctor looked in her ears and for the first time since November her ears looked the best that she had seen them. That was such a relief. We have an appointment schedule with the ENT next week for a consult for tubes. This was just inevitable with our history. She is sitting up so well now and is even leaning forward to try and grab things. Sometimes I will have her on the floor playing and come back and she some how will have moved to another spot. My baby girl is growing up...too fast!

The many uses of a Pampers box...

The kids found this box in the hallway and decided to make a train out of it. Then they tore it apart and made a ramp for the cars.

Happy Valentine's Day!

It took forever to get this picture. If they could just all look at the same time and smile on cue, we would be doing good!

How Amazing...

The Saints win on Feb. 7, 2010 and the following week it snowed in Zachary. So of course the kids were out of school. I think the kids are getting a little used to all of this snow!!! Eating their cereal and watching it snow!

Mason built this snowman all by himself...it doesn't quite look like a snow man but he worked very hard on it and he was so proud. You can see at the top he put buttons for his eyes!

Jumping is exhausting!!!

This is how I found Abby after an exhausting time of jumping. She really "goes to town jumping" in her jumperoo. She really enjoys it and gets great exercise, too.

Our First Mardi Gras Parade

Josh and I decided to brave the cool temperatures and take the kids to there first Mardi Gras parade in Baton Rouge. It was a little different than what I am used to in Shreveport, but we had a blast and the kids got bunches of stuff! We were parked by the river next to a railroad track and Mason enjoyed climbing on the rail car

..with supervision!!!!Sitting and waiting!!


While the parade was going on Abby was hanging out in her stroller with a blanket over it so that it would block the wind.

Throw Me Something, Mister...the kids got on quick to what you need to say to get something.

At the end of the parade were these two horses and they were immediately clearing the streets...so you had to quickly get off the parade route. When the parade was over it was over!!!!!

Black and Gold Day at School!!!

TheFriday before the Super Bowl, Mason and Ava were allowed to show there spirit for the Saints and wear black and gold. They were thrilled. We now have them shouting the Who Dat chant!!!
Can't wait to Cheer on the Saints Sunday!!!!

GEAUX SAINTS!!!!
