Fussy day fun

Getting ready to go play outside after a weekend snow/ice storm. Thanks Bubbie for the hat and vest!

Hiking last weekend in lots of snow!

Sorry for the delay in updates! We've been a little busy out here with grandparents moving in to town, and the house until they close on the new place. As for the 9 month measurements, Abraham weighed 21# 11 and was 30.5 inches long. That puts him in the 75% for weight and "off the charts" in height. At least, that is what Dr. Mulder said. We didn't get the actual percentile for that. Everything checked out fine at the visit. Aber's currently has 11 teeth, with at least 3 more coming in. We'll all be ready for these teeth to be in. He is having a hard time figuring out what he likes to eat. We go from having him eat ANYTHING to eating pretty much nothing. Even the old standby's won't cut it these days.

Abraham is a mobile monkey. He is a super fast crawler, great stair climber, and walking toy pusher. He tries to pull himself up, like a pull up, to see what is on the table. He has just mastered coming DOWN the steps all by himself, by sliding down on his belly. We have a bit of a hard time getting him to turn around to come down, but once he gets a bit of assistance, he's down in no time.



These days, we are hearing lots of Dadada, mamamama, babababa, and we even heard guh-ma! He is also making tons of other sounds, clearly trying to tell us what is going on. One day last week, he was having an unusually fussy day and I was out of ideas to make him happy. He was already in his highchair, so I just dumped 1/3 c of flour in front of him to play. It was a great activity actually, giving me 45 minutes of no fussing!!


We are heading to NOLA for a quick trip. David has a conference and I get to visit with the Landry's, the former head of CSS. We'll be sure to update with fun pictures when we get home!
