9 Month Pix

Milk, does a body good!

I want to be just like my daddy and drink lots of milk! I hear it's good for the bones and will make me stronger. Then I will be able to get away quicker when I steal daddy's flip flop!

Chicago

This weekend Brad and I went to Chicago to visit Katie and Austin with Mom and dad and Jay and Drew. We borrowed Grandpa and Grandma's minivan and headed out early Saturday morning. We stopped in New Buffalo for breakfast and checked out the new casino there. Jamie had never been in a casino so we decided to remedy that and spent a total of $4.25 as a group on slots. No winners though! On we went to Chicago. We got to Kate and Austin's at around 11 and they were waiting outside.

We spent some time catching up and touring the apartment and the area. Then the guys watched a little TV and snoozed while the girls played dominoes.

After the guys woke up and the thrill of loosing wore off, we boarded the train and headed into the city. We walked around for a while and then ate dinner at the Rock Bottom Brewery. After dinner we hit the Sox vs. Tigers game. It was amazing how many Tigers fans were there! However, we found out that Sox fans get a little irritated when the opposing team's fans catch the free t-shirts! GO JAY!!

Brad and I really enjoyed the cotton candy!

In unrelated news, some fo you have asked to see the jeans that I made :) Sabrina finally wore them so I took some pix...enjoy!

9 Month Check Up

Here are the the stats from todays visit:

20 lbs 6 0z (75th percentile)

29 1/4 in. long - (95th percentile)

*we think this one is a little off...Sabrina was very upset about getting measured and fought it hard. The last couple visits we had in the last month have her a little spooked of the Doc.

No shots today though so overall it was a good visit! Praise God for blessing her with good health!

Me and my Buddy

Last night I got to play with my friend Grace. Dada had Cadets with Grace's dada so we thought it would be fun to hang out while they did boy stuff. First we went to eat at Cafe 58 where I ate some of mom's mac n cheese. That place sure was hoppin'! We even saw our friend Caden there! Then we went to our house and I shared my toys with Grace. She really loved my rock n roll activity table. I roamed about some while mama and Ms. Kathy talked and talked. By 8 we were both pooped so Grace went home and I went to bed. Thanks for coming over to play Grace!

Bathroom Blunder

Today as I was on the phone I watched Sabrina pull off all the TP off the roll, luckily I had my video camera nearby to catch the last bit of it and a little bit of her walking! Unfortunately because I am not tech savy, it is going to come up sideways. Oops!

Sabrina the sneaky!

Friday night we spent a fun night with friends that we hadn't seen in a while! In the past year there has been three babies added to the group and just recently found out 2 are on the way (yeah!!!). We grilled out and caught up on things. The older three, Kyla, Ashley and Sabrina played....well I guess the older two played and Sabrina toddled aound after them. While the girls ate, some sneaky behavior was caught on film: See below.

Everyone minding their business, Kyla cheezin for the camera, Ashley gripping her sweet security teddy, checking out Kyla's plate and Sabrina meditating on her plan of attack when all of a sudden.........

SNEAK ATTACK!!! Sabrina lunges for the bear when Ashley least expects it! Notice Kyla watching out of the corner of her eye while maintaining her best picture smile.

Then the stare down. Kyla continues to smile, though not as much as she can sense the tension in the air. Lucky for everyone involved, Ashley is very tolerant and Sabrina is easily distracted.

Really, Sabrina is not a Bear Poacher, she just looks like one on film :)
