November 30, 2008 (Happy Birthday Bennett!)

Quote of the day:

Macey reaching up to get some ice from the ice dispenser: "I will get some ice to help dad"

Me: "Maybe just let dad get the ice, I don't want it to fall and get in your face."

Macey: "Yeah, cause then I'd have to go to the doctor to get it out."

(I left my camera cord to download new pictures to my computer at Jason's parents' house, arg! But Mom Burgess is nice enough to be sending it out in the mail tomorrow)

Cute tongue, eh?

9 Months Old

In a few days our Roosey Roo (our kids will never know their real names) will be nine months old. I feel that she has jumped from 6 months to 9 months in a few days. She had her checkup early since we were in town and here's how she measured up: 100th percentile for heighth and 50th for weight. She weighed in at 18 lbs 12 oz which is only a few ounces more than her last visit, but the doctor thinks it's because she's been so sick lately and she's so active. He wasn't worried about her red cheeks, just said they were a little dry. Besides having to get some prescription diaper rash cream for a yeast infection due to antibiotics, she's good to go! She loved flirting with the intern doctor and showed off her strength by doing a full situp without using her arms while on the exam table. It was a good visit with NO shots :)

Here's a list to describe our Roo Roo these days at nine months old:

1. Loves giving her baby dolls hugs and kisses.

2. Loves giving her new cousin hugs and kisses.

3. Splashes as much as possible in the bath to make her sister scream.

4. Gives anyone that is giving her attention a squinty eyed goofy smile look.

5. Shakes her head no and refuses to open her mouth for food she hates.

6. Shakes her head no and smiles when we tell her "no"

7. Favorites toys: cable cords, electrical cords, cameras, remotes, stairs, doors, and Macey's Dora underwear.

8. She crawls and stands up along anything. Starting to try to cruise along furniture or walk with a walker, but her legs just don't know quite what to do.

9. LOVES music or any beat. She's quite the bouncer/dancer.

10. Adores her big sister.

11. Plays bashful and hides her face on Mommy's shoulder. (I love this)

12. Hates to get her pj's on.

13. Loves the Dora theme song.

14. Sucks her thumb and snuggles with her blankie.

15. Wears size 12 or 18 months

16. Needs most of her food mixed with oatmeal to eat it.

17. Is a terrible bottle feeder unless she's in a quiet room and is tired.

18. Has a Mommy, Daddy, and Sister who love her dearly!!!!!!!


my list ended up longer than anticipated :)

Quote of the Day

Macey while looking at a book with me about animals: "Mom, that is not poop, that is the pig's little tail."

Photo of the Day:

We don't need a gate, she is determined to figure these out on her own and she's getting there. It was more graceful than it looks in these pictures.
