come in niner, niner!

reese is nine months old! whoosh! time is flying by...

the great thing about turning 9 months old is that no shots are needed at this appointment! so here are his measurements:

Head: 43 3/4 cm which is the 20th%
Height: 32 1/2 inches which is above the 97th%
Weight: 23 lbs. 9 oz. which is the 90th%

so he has been growing pretty steadily. he is a good boy and has learned some new things like:
-how to clap his hands
-how to wave (although it's not usually when saying bye-bye)
-he loves to feed himself hot dogs, bananas and crackers
-he was screaming when i put him down for bed, but has overcome it for the most part and puts -himself to sleep again
-will pull himself up from a sitting position to a standing position (although he still isn't crawling)
-can get from sitting to being on his belly
-loves giving 5
-has two bottom teeth
-pushes away his bottle (or anything else) he doesn't want

we love our little man, he is a very good boy!

24th parade & flood

we went to ogden's down town parade for the 24th.. it was fun, but LONG & HOT. we ended up leaving before it even ended cause it had been over two hours.
by the end reese was so tuckered out he had to crash in the stroller. there was even a fake gun fight going on at this time and he conked out anyway.

bryce and sal met us there. gotta love the laughs!

me and love bug

the whole clan! boualay and her fam came with us too! she has such sweet kids. some people let us use their lawn chairs cause their friends didn't show. it was SWEET!

the budwiser clydesdale horses

yeah, so our basement flooded this week. we had to tear out all of our carpet and get a plumber out here and call the home owners insurance.. it was a total mess. luckily there isn't too much damage and we just have to get it all dried out.. hopefully we don't get mold and then we can just clean the carpets and have them relayed. let's just hope. so it was a pipe in the sprinkling system that broke and brad is going to dig it up tomorrow and we will see if he and george can figure out how to replace it.. FUN TIMES.. NOT!

this is just outside the basement window.. totally covered in water!
