Crawlers

Thats right, friends and family, Smith and Addison are official members of the crawling club.

Addison is just doing the army crawl - but smith has mastered the full on big boy crawl.

Regardless, they're both mobile, and into everything they shouldn't be and have no interest in anything that is clearly for them.

Please excuse the jerkiness of the camera at the beginning - i had to bribe them with an electrical cord (which appears later in the video), and Smith was on his way before I could get back and pick the camera back up.



We'll be spending the next week on a family vacation at Edisto Island. Nanny and Poppa, Ame, Woody, and this Day family are renting a place and we should have some awesome stories and photos to regale you with after the fact.

Create a breakdown in your child in 4 easy steps!

1) Step 1 - Create interest in an object that I will want to touch. In this case....the camera. (But it really can be anything - camera, remote control, pine cone...really, the list is endless)

2) Step 2 - Watch as subject makes a break for the object.

3) Step 3 - Observe Subject make a play for object

4) Step 4 - Deny object, and watch the fireworks.

New fun

Its been a busy week 'round here. Mom introuduced Smith and Addison to the tupperware cabinet.

On Saturday afternoon, we pulled the pool out that Dad brought home from Eagles at the beach. A good time was had by all.

9 months old

Yes, our pictures are a few days late this go round. We've been really busy with two nine month olds. At some point in the past month or so, these two extra people in our home have transformed from lethargic babies to energetic pre-toddlers. They're both on the cusp of crawling. In fact, I think Smith may be days away from it, but knowing Addison, she probably already can crawl (and walk and talk and do her hair, but she just doesn't want to!)

The picture of Smith attacking the sign was the best one of the bunch, and is a pretty good summation of life in our home these days. If it exists, it must be touched, patted, and inserted in the mouth if possible.

We got the all clear at our nine month appointment last week. They're both 18 lbs 2 oz, which puts him in the 25th percentile and her in the 50th for weight. They're both off the charts in height (he's 29.75 inches, and she's right at 29 if my memory serves me correctly). We're venturing into table food and we were told that they can pretty much have anything (Other than honey). We're still keeping some things from them, but they've both had a french fry, some vanilla soft serve, and some yogurt.

Wishing a happy mother's day to our mom Krissee!
