Anders- 2 Years 5 Months & Adeline- 9 Months

Anders is becoming more and more like a little boy each day.  He is talking like crazy, and wants to know "what's that name" and "why" in daily situations.   In true boy fashion he loves cars, trains, tractors, jumping, wrestling and balls.  He is also starting to play more on his own and is asking for a little more independence.  Thankfully he still loves mommy's hugs and to sit in my lap to read books. 

We are nearing the end of Adeline's 9 month and what a month it has been!  Our little girl has really taken off crawling, moving all over the house, and is pulling up on most of the furniture.  Majority of the mornings I find her standing in her crib and I'll even she her stand up in her stroller if she is not strapped in.  I think she'll be walking soon.  She continues to love her brother, wanting to do whatever he is doing but let's him know when she isn't in agreement with him.  This month we also switched over to the bottle and sippie cup, but currently Adeline prefers to eat,so we mix her formula in with baby cereal most days.  She is a good eater.

Adeline's 9 month visit with Doctor G.:
-16.11 lbs (10-25%)
-27 in height (40-50%)
-17.3 in head (50-75%)

This past month Anders has been asking to "hold her", wanting to hold sister.  I love it....and hope and pray that this new interest in his sister is a beginning to a future friendship.  Here was our attempt to capture "the hold".
