Uncle Vince, Aunt Katleen and Chris visited this weekend from Massachusetts. When we were visiting, Molly took us for a long walk.
I had a great time playing with cousins Chris and Aaron. We don't play with Chris very often so it is a nice treat when we do!
I loved it when Chris held me!
Cousin Emily looks out for me and takes care of me!
I wasn't feeling great this weekend so I was held a lot. Here I am being held by Wally.
Mommy took us to the pool this afternoon and we had a great time! I loved wearing my goggles and going under water.
I loved being in the water. My brother and Mommy threw a beach ball back and forth and I had a blast trying to touch the ball.
We attempted to take pictures of Landon before we went to church this morning, but he was too distracted by the flower pot beside him.
This time, he was trying to pick up a piece of mulch that was on the mat.
Bryce did a much better job posing for the camera.
Here is Landon with Kim, Matt and Jess.
Bryce helped himself to the cheese curls while we were making dinner. The evidence is all over his mouth!
I had a great time playing with my "older" friends this afternoon.
Daddy held Landon while I was playing.
Landon was not interested in listening to books. He was too busy crawling and standing up. He was so active that we had to take his pajamas off so he could move around his room easier.
I was so much happier when Mommy and Daddy realized that I didn't want to listen to books. I just wanted them to take off my pajamas and let me move!
We had a really nice time at Hershey Park today. The weather was perfect and it wasn't too crowded. There are two rides that Bryce loves to go on...the carousel and the trucks. Bryce loves to pick a horse to ride and spends lots of time choosing the perfect one!
Here are John and Landon on the train.
We had a very strong grip on Landon while we were on the rides. He is so active that he would crawl off if we didn't hold him!
We went to the Hershey Zoo today. The boys had a terrific time! Bryce's favorite animals were the "reindeer" and owls.
The boys really enjoyed looking at all of the birds.
I love sitting on anything with wheels! This weekend I was able to sit on lots of four-wheelers. Of course, I had to sit on each one that was on display!
Here I am sitting on a wave runner at Hershey Park on Sunday.
We went to a community event on Saturday and watched fireworks. Bryce watched them intently while Landon slept through the whole thing!
I had my nine month well visit at the pediatrician's office on Friday. I weigh 18 pounds 7.8 ounces and I am 27 1/2 inches long. I am almost exactly the same size as my brother at nine months (Bryce was 18 pounds 12.4 ounces and measured 28 inches long). My iron level measured low so I have to go to the hospital this week and have blood drawn to get a more accurate reading.
Today was haircut day for me. My hair is very thick and grows quickly so I get my haircut a lot!
My favorite part of getting a haircut is the lollipop I get when I am done! It was yummy!
We have had quite a challenging week! It all started last Monday when John got a piece of rust in his eye and had to go to the doctor to get his eye flushed out. On Friday, Landon had an allergic reaction. Then on Saturday, Landon fell down the stairs. It was so scarry! We immediately rushed him to the Emergency Room. Thankfully, he was fine and shockingly doesn't have any bruises or injuries!
I love playing with the big kids! I love when my neighbors who are older than me come over to my house to play. The other day we drew a city on the sidewalk and ran cars across it.
Just before I left for work this morning, I gave yogurt to my mom to feed Landon. Within minutes of him eating it, his face and eyes began to swell and he developed welts. We gave him Benadryl and took him to the doctor's office. This picture was taken after the Benadryl began to kick in. Thankfully, the Benadryl worked quickly. We need to take Landon to the Allergist in a few weeks to determine what else he is allergic to.
Landon felt much better when we got to the pediatrician's office and he began "loving on" his big brother. Molly had her hands full trying to keep both wiggle worms on the exam table at the same time!
We went to Molly and Wally's (aka grandma and grandpa) house today and played with our cousins.
Here we are with Emily, Molly, Hunter and Aunt Lynne.
We had a great time snuggling together watching a movie.
When I got up yesterday, I told my Mommy that I wanted to stay at home all day and play! I spent the morning playing with my Thomas Trains. I took a four hour nap in the afternoon. Mommy and Daddy have been keeping me very busy so I just wanted a day at home to relax.
Look at how big I am getting!
This is me trying to blow bubbles.
I concentrate really hard when I am playing.
I love when Bryce plays with me!
