Nine months and change :)

This little cutie has arrived at yet another milestone- he turned nine months old on the 16th!! 
He is now 30.25 inches tall (95th percentile) and 18.8 lbs (21st percentile) - tall and skinny, just like his daddy! 


However, before we get to that, lets talk about some change. There's been a lot of change around here!  Mara is fully potty trained, day and night!! When she went two weeks with no accidents, she was able to get a bike, and boy was she happy! 


Since Mara got to learn how to ride a balance bike, Levi got to learn how to drive a car. "Like this dad?"


Dad's been doing a lot of teaching! He also taught Mara how to partner dance- awwwww!


 Speaking of change, the general atmosphere at home has changed too- its a bit more wild now that Levi is fully mobile!


 Did I say wild? I meant messy...

 And its more than just the house. In contrast to his big sister who still says "good!" when given puréed food, Levi refuses just about everything from a spoon (with the exception of green beans, peaches, and pears) and much prefers finger foods. String cheese is by far his favorite, although, those cinnamon maple puffs keep him pretty interested too. (Can you tell I try to avoid the mess at all costs?!)


He started crawling a little before 7 months, and has been given the name explorer boy. I frequently turn around to find him on the opposite end of the house than where I last saw him.


   When on hard surfaces, he almost always prefers to bear crawl though!


 He got his daddy's curls, and he's so precious when he's sleeping :)


 We've all been waiting for the weather to happy up so we can leave the house.


Sometimes the kids kill time with dad at "daddy's store." Its amazing what you can find there!


 The sun decided to cooperate for mothers day weekend and we had a picnic!!


 Mara loved blowing bubbles,


 And Levi had a blast just hanging around outside.

And thats all the change from around here!


 Whew, who knew blogging could be so exhausting, I'm pooped!

Love the update! Levi is taller than Bailey, she's got him beat by a pound. So cute!

thanks for the update - the pictures are totally cute...and I can really empathize with how Mara feels at the end of the day!

Yay for Mara being potty trained!
So my dream about having a small blonde little boy next to your tall dark haired boy is coming more true all the time - Candon is now blonde and is slightly shorter and weighs slightly less than Levi (whose dark curls are so cute!). You guys should come down to seven peaks sometime and we can hang out!
