9 mo Well Baby

Ahh where does the time go!? My little princess is 9 months old (back on April 8th that is) and she had her 9 mo visit to the doc on Monday. She weighs 18 lbs and 3 oz (34%) and is 27 3/4 in long (51%). She is just too cute for her own good

• She is crawling like crazy and she is FAST
• She loves to pull herself up on anything and everything!
• She loves to play with her toys
• She still sleeps with her mobile on at night and she is still using her binkie
• She is on stage 3 foods now - just started those about 2 weeks ago
• She likes yogurt melts from gerber. We have also tried puffs but she doesn't let them dissolve long enough so she ends up swallowing them and it's a bit hard for her
• She still loves the puppy and kitty
• She opens her mouth to give you kisses (she has been doing this for a while now)

I think that's about all. She is just our world and I couldn't love her any more!

Things have been crazy other wise. Ben is working hard at his new job. I've been busy at work also! I'm traveling a lot in May (1st and last week) and then I have surgery May 13th for my other problems I am having. I'm just praying this works. I really want to have more children and this would be pretty devastating if it didn't work. :( So I just keep on praying!!

We are having Easter dinner at our house on Sunday and I'm excited to have everyone over. My parents are coming, my sister and brother in law and possibly his son, Ben's mom and her boyfriend and  then Ben's grandpa probably as well. I'm going to be making a big feast and can't wait to have everyone there for baby's first Easter!

Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter Everyone!

Since our anniversary is coming up we went out last night with my parents to celebrate. We went and had dinner at Hoggy's in Independence. It was really good. Everyone had been there before but me! It was a BBQ place and it was pretty darn good! We will be going back there. Then we went and saw Clash of the Titans in 3D. Not my pick but everyone else wanted to see it so I went for them. It was different because I don't think I've ever been to a 3D movie before. Again, not a movie that held my interest but that's ok.

I also want to say a big CONGRATS to our friends Melanie and Brian. Their son Mason William was born last night (Saturday, April 3) at 9:19 pm. She did end up having to have a c-section because after being induced Friday night at 7:30 she had made no progress at all. He was 9 lbs 12 oz and 21.5 in long. Because he was so big they don't think she would have been able to deliver him naturally anyways so it worked out for the best. He is currently in the special care unit though due to Mel being diabetic and the baby needing to get used to no insulin. He will be fine though but they have to watch him so they moved him down there. We did go up and visit this morning but we weren't able to hold him because he was in that unit. But we did get to visit with him and I will have to come back and post pictures. I am going over tomorrow as well so maybe he will be out of there if things go well tonight with regulating his sugar.

We did spend Easter at Ben's Grandpa's house. He made a huge feast as usual - ham, chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, peas/corn, buttered noodles, coleslaw and rolls. I'm still so stuffed I feel like I can't move!! It was Ben's grandpa, me, Ben, Ben's mom, her boyfriend, my mom and my stepdad. My parents didn't really have anywhere to go for Easter so they came to his house. It was good to see them :) And it was such a beautiful day out so it was nice to be able to relax outside. It was one of the first Easter's in a while that it hasn't snowed or rained around here.

Well this week I am supposed to be on jury duty so we will see how that goes. I know I don't have to report tomorrow but not sure if I will be called at all the rest of this week. Hopefully not seeing as I have plenty to do at work. But we will see!!

Have a great week everyone!
