9 months (almost 10)

I better get this posted before I am posting a 10 month post...

November 18th Tanner turned 9 months old and mommy cried!! I cannot believe that he is 9 months old already!! Where does the time go? I think that it is finally hitting me that this is it, my last baby is growing up and rather quickly I might add.

At his 9 month appointment he weighed 24 lbs 2 ounces (95%) (Teeghun was 24 lbs. 9 ounces at 9 months)
30 1/4 inches tall (95%) (Teeghun was 29 inches)
Head is 18 3/4 inches around (95%, he said that with a melon this big he should be a genius :) HA!!) (Teeghun's head was 18 3/4 inches around)

He is crawling all over the place and doesn't seem to mind being left in a room alone cause he will just come find us now. He is sometimes waving, and babbles ALLLL the time (just like his mama :) He is getting better at pinching puffs and trying to get them to his mouth. He is standing up more and even took a couple steps yesterday at the doctor office. He will let go of one thing to try to reach for another but isn't quite "cruising" yet.

I am guessing that he will easily be walking before his first birthday...gotta keep up with big brother you know.


(sorry these pictures are so bad, we took them at the firestation when we got his new carseat installed)

December...ALREADY??

Seriously?? How in the world did we get to December?? I mean it is December 10th and we still don't have our Christmas tree up...and we need to put it up because Teeghun is old enough now to realize that it should be up. We are planning to put it up tonight so there will be new pictures tomorrow.

Early in November the builder that we are working with (Granite Ridge Builders) had Santa Clause come for pictures. We gathered the kids and headed that direction; holding our breath that we would get one decent picture. Many of you will recall Teeghun's first encounter with Santa:


Here was Tanner's first encounter with Santa:

I think that he would've sat there all day if we had let him, not a care in the world. Teeghun finally did get brave enough to at least stand beside Santa.

Teeghun seems to be getting more brave each time we see him.

We started the tradition of going downtown for the holiday lighting ceremony the night before Thanksgiving the year that Teeghun was born. Here is video of the three lights being turned on:

We had a wonderfuly Thanksgiving, ate way too much as usual and this year were treated to the stomach flu on Friday and Saturday....NOT FUN with a 2 1/2 year old and a crawling 9 month old!!

Here are some pictures from Thanksgiving
