9 months and counting

An exciting thing is that Adie turned 9 months old. She is getting so big and is actually walking already. She is not too sturdy but can get from place to place and is starting to prefer walking as her sole mode of transportation. I can't believe how big she is already.

This has become one of Adies favorite things to do lately. I have always kept my baggies in a drawer in the kitchen probably because that is what my family has always done. Well, unfortunately the drawer is not baby proof and she likes the feel of the bags. So she pulls the bags out one by one until the box is empty. Eric thinks it is funny, takes a picture, then leaves it for me to clean up later. Silly guy.


Porter has started to build trains out of everything. His legos, toy people, cars, goldfish crackers, you name it. And he freaks out if anyone touches them which makes it hard on Adie a little. He has actually gotten really creative with it so I had to take a picture. You can see how much he consentrates on it.



Porter loves to do this with Eric. Moms and grandma's don't look. We took this picture because Eric wanted to see how high he was actually throwing him. He was pretty impressed with himself when he saw how far up there Porter was. And don't worry, Eric has never dropped him. The best part is you should see Porters face when he gets to the peak and starts to come down. It is sheer terror, but always wants to do it again.


Adie has learned how to climb the stool in the bathroom. Her next step was to find her toothbrush. She makes her dada proud. And yes it was cold enough here a little while ago to get out the winter jammies. Its not anymore.


Obviously a lot of the things that Porter and Eric do together require elevation. He loves to be able to touch the ceiling. This is Eric laying on our bed legs up against the wall and Porter sitting on Eric's feet. He laughed the entire time.


Porter also likes to dress up in dada's clothes. This is Eric's belt wrapped around him I think about 3 times. It was pretty funny and really reminded me of 80's clothes.


That is pretty much all that has really happened lately. Although there are more pictures to come soon, along with videos.

I love it! Wow Addie is walking! I don't know what to say. . . just don't tell Rachel. She stands on her own, but doesn't want to let go and walk (which I don't mind). I can not believe how high up Porter is! Thanks for all the pictures. I love to see my adorable neice and nephew!

Such a cute family! It seems like your kids are blooming so fast!! I love the trains, because Kimball is into trains too, and LOVES THEM! Every other word is "cho cho"! I am glad things are going well for you! I miss you!

Eric is such a fun dad! I remember the heart attack I almost got watching my brother in law do that to my nieces, but the kids just love it. And that is the cutest innocent look on Addie's face as she's peering up from the kitchen floor.

I am grandma and I did look. Now that Eric has done that don't let him continue or do it with Addie. It only takes one time to have a tragedy. I agree--you are fun parents. xoxoxox

It looks like you're having fun. I usually show Loren your updates, but we're going to skip this one. I don't want him getting any ideas. I think he'll see it as a challenge and try to throw Ashton even higher.

Taylor does the same thing with the bags. I had to put them way up high, so she can't get them now. Cute pictures!
