9 months!

This past Wednesday Jack turned 9 months old! I can't believe that this precious little boy has been in our lives for 9 months already. I love him more and more each day. He is so sweet and so precious! He and Abby have so much fun together already! Abby walks into the room and Jack just lights up. He does the same thing when Dada walks into the room. He is so smiley and happy, I just want to squeeze him all the time!

As far as anything else going on in our lives, this past weekend we decided to add some culture to our lives ( and our children's lives) and we took them to the art museum. Abby loved it, Jack did not. Apparently, he does not believe in adding culture to his life :) Hopefully we will find something equally as fun to do this weekend. Here are some pics and videos of the kids for your enjoyment.

Long Time No See!

Wow, it has been a long time since I have blogged! Sorry, life has been crazy for us the past coupe of months. We have had some changes going on. I started my new job Jan. 3rd and I am loving it! The first couple of weeks, having the kids home while I worked was extremely difficult. It was a huge adjustment for all of us (Eric included). However, now that we are in a routine we are all loving it!. I love that I get to spend time with my precious baby boy and not miss out on his growing up! It has alwayd been my dream to be a stay at home mom, however, that is not ever going to be a reality because we need 2 incomes. So, this is the next best thing, a work at home mom!

In other news, Jack is growing leaps and bounds. He is almost 9 months old now (on the 22nd). He has gotten so many new skills in the past 2 months that it is hard to even keep up with them. He is growing and changing daily. He has gotten 4 teeth. He crawls everywhere like a madman, and he says "Dada" all day long. He pulls himself to his knees and tries really hard to stand up. He always wants to stand, he never wants to sit or be confined anymore. He has so much personality and he is such a boy. He bangs on anything and everything that he can get his hands on. He is eating everything I put in front of him and he loves to feed himself. He prefers for me not to feed him. He holds his bottle and drinks it with no assistance from me. He is generally a happy baby and he loves his sister!

Abby is doing well too. She has had a hard time adjusting to not going to the sitter and playing with her friends everyday. She is missing her friends and Miss Jennie a lot. However, she still goes to the sitter on Fridays so she does get to see her friends one day a week. She needs that for her own socialization and happiness. She has been going to the same sitter with the same friends for almost 4 years, it would be hard for her to completely stop going now. Next year she will be going to pre-school, so I think she will like that.

The current school year is almost 3/4 of the way over. And hopefully we are going to be putting our house up for sale in the next couple of months, so hopefully more change is on the way for us. Here are some videos and pics of the kids. Enjoy.
