Hannah's nine month check up

Hannah went for her nine month well visit today. She had broken out in a rash last night which was nice of her to do since we were going to be at the doctors in the morning. The doctor said it is probably a viral rash but overall was not worried about it. Hannah checked out from head to toe. She weighs 19 1/2 pounds (64th percentile), head it 45 cm (82nd percentile) and is 27 inches tall (35th percentile). It was good to hear of her length because last time she was only 10th percentile and so either their measurement was off or she hit her growth spurt after that. She is eating more and more "real" food every day. She has just started pulling herself up onto things but is a bit wobbly when she gets there. The time has flown and we are already discussing the possibility of added more to our family. Craziness!

Birthday party

Carter went to his first "friend" birthday party today. It was at the childrens museum. He had a great time.

Talia's Birthday party

Here are some pictures of last weeks birthday party. I had brought a sheet to put Hannah on but she learned very quickly that she could pull the blanket up and get to the dirt and grass that she wanted to eat.

Carter didn't get out of the water much. He just kicked and kick around on the lake on the raft.

Hannah and Uncle Chris tuckered out at the same time so they snoozed in the shade.

Hannah enjoyed her first pizza crust at the party. She liked it just as much as the dirt. Silly girl.

Starting early

Showing her team spirit early in life.

Teething cookies

I love these teething cookies. I remember them from when Carter was this age.

Well Hannah has started eating them. She only gets them on bath nights for obvious reasons.

He will love this more when he is older

Carter was coming from or going to church on Sunday while in Charleston and I looked back to find this so I had to capture it. His wife will love this one some day.

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a great long weekend. We started the weekend with a picnic with Mama and Papa at Hampton Park in Charleston by the Citadel. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed chicken salad sandwiches, chips, cookies and fruit. We were there all day. Carter made a friend who shared his bike with Carter and there was a tree that we couldn't keep Carter out of. He managed to climb up in it himself a few times. He also had some help.

Hannah also enjoyed some time on the grass and with her Dad.

The men also had fun feeding the ducks, fish, a turtle and the birds.

On Monday we went to the beach with my brother and family and a couple of my sister-in-laws coworkers and their kids. It was a good time. This picture was right after she woke up from her nap and right before we moved her seat to be in the shade a bit more.

Carter loves the sand 100 times more than the water. Luck for his, he has some great helpers to build castles and get water for the motes.
