9 months, seriously?

Wow, we can't believe monster man is already 9 months. He has been keeping us very busy lately...getting into everything, but he does keep himself entertained fairly well. He'll be giggling in the play room and we'll check on him and this is what he is doing...open, close, open, close, open.....you get the idea. He'll do this for a long time. For added fun, he'll put a doorstop punch in there.

Or you might find him doing this....

He is starting to get a tooth in on the top so acting like a sucker fish on the window must feel good!?! What a strange kid.

9 months milestones:

23lbs 1oz

29 inches

*pulls himself up on anything/everything

*still army crawling everywhere, he can do the real crawling, but doesn't like it and he's not as fast

*giggling about everything--deep belly laugh once in awhile

*understanding what is and isn't a toy

*eating more foods: feeds himself graham crackers and cheese w/ a tortilla, but still gags a little

Man he is growing up quickly! We need to freeze time somehow.

Welcome Isabella Gilbertson

We would like to welcome Isabella Gilbertson. She was born on October 16 to our good friends Conrad and Megan. She is a little bundle of joy weighing in at 6lbs 5oz. She is a beauty and would melt anyone's heart. Apparently there is already competition for who the first boyfriend will be. As we have mentioned before, Nolan will be a cagefighter with specialties in Brazilian jiu jitsu...so watch out competitors. A little healthy competition never hurt anyone. Of course I am just kidding. We are so excited for them! Here are a few pics of Isabella (Izzy)!
