Khloe' is now 9 months old!

I can't believe our little peanut is already 9 months old!! We took her for her 9 month appt. today and she only had to get 1 shot YEAH! She did really good in the Dr. Lori's office she of course was nothing but smiles and grins at everyone in the office. She is now weighing in at 20.13 lbs and a whopping 29 inches long ( that is almost 2 1/2 feet tall :)) . So she is now in 80th% for weight and height vs. before she was always 99th% for both.

She has started to do the funniest thing lately....when she does not get her way such as she doesn't want to drink her bottle or we don't pick her up when she wants us to she will drop her head very quickly to her chest, scrunch up her face, close her eyes and make sort of a grunting noise. Is this the beginning of a temper tantrum? I know I am supposed to discipline her but it is soooo funny I can't help but laugh at her. Oh I can just picture a few months from now the laying on the floor and kicking and screaming if she does not get her way!!! Oh lord it's just begun huh?

Also, now that she is "mobile" she has started to become very curious about everything, she wants to pull the Kleenex's from the box, crawl to the marble fireplace, grab Maxx's dog bones...whatever she sets her sights on. So, I am constantly saying " No Khloe' don't touch that, or No Khloe' don't pull those" She turns and looks at me ( I think she definitely knows what "NO" means) and smiles & laughs and keeps doing what she was doing. She just laughs at me when I use a stern voice!! OK, this must be what my Ma & dad have always warned me about..."coming back 10 fold" Right now it is cute and sweet but it won't be in a year or so!!

For all of you who were really only hoping to see some new pics of Khloe'...sorry I will post some new ones soon! Love you guys, thanks for checking in on us!

Major changes for our little peanut in the new year!

Hi Everybody,

Sorry it has been a while since we have updated the blog. It seems we have much less time on our hands to do this as we are tending to our little pumpkin!

So much has happened since the last time we updated the blog. Lets see... Khloe' had her first Christmas! She was so cute to watch! She of course didn't know what day it was but she just loved opening all her gifts! The wrapping paper was the highlight.. she quickly got the hang of how to rip open the gifts and crumple the wrapping paper up! lol! It seemed that the gift was purely secondary at that point! She almost got upset as we tried to show her her gifts and take the paper away.. lol.. She got so many wonderful gifts however the highlight gift was her DJ walker! She instantly loved it once she was in it, there were so many new buttons and sounds and alas... she could move around in this new toy!!! She's quickly figured out how to scoot around the kitchen although she has some difficulty on the carpet.. too cute.

Just as we came into the new year - I think the 3rd or 4th Khloe' learned how to wave and say bahbah at the same time. It's the cutest thing in the world. What's really funny is that she must have known this was a new thing she was doing, because she would wave backwards and look at her hand as if to say heeeyyy this is pretty neat! Now each time Julie or I come into the room or wake her up she does her little wave to us! Lol! I think we both get goose bumps when we see her do that!

On January the 9th officially marked the day that we couldn't just put her on her play mat or the bed and know that she is not going anywhere! She learned to crawl!!!! We were all in the living room and she was playing with her little jingle ball - the next thing we knew she pushed it away from herself and then started crawling after it!!! She did this for about 10 minutes and was just besides her self with joy... It's like she had a sense of relief and an expression of.. FINALLY I can move around! She hasn't quite figured out how to use both legs yet, but she just pulls herself along! It looks kinda like a wounded pup dragging her leg!! Now each day she has gotten a lot better at it and gets around more and more...

That's it for now folks.. we'll update more in a couple of weeks.
Thanks for checking in on us!!

Here are some new pictures of her for you all to enjoy!

Thanksgiving in Indy...so nice to be with Family!

I am so proud of the parents April and Brock have become, I can't help but laugh when one of the kids are doing or saying something out of line (which is so hard to hide the fact that it's funny) we are learning so much when it comes to discipline from April & Chad, and Brock & Angie... I am sooooo glad Khloe is a few months away, at the least, from us having to discipline her. But it's sure funny to watch someone else having to be tough. P.s. I caught Granna on many of occasion having to put her hand over her mouth or look away so the grand babies ( or their parents) wouldn't see her laughing too, I'm glad I wasn't alone, thanks Ma! I wish we lived closer to see these guys more often..."God are you listening?" :)

Ok, I have blabbed on too long...I know you all just want to see the new photos. We got a new camera last month so hopefully you can tell the pics are much better quality and we are still learning all the different settings. Love you guys, thanks for checking in on us!!
