My baby is 9 months old!


Janie is 9 months and 6 days old. She's such a sweetie! She crawling, pulling herself up to standing, pushing chairs around, getting into all of Molly's toys and crayons and markers and anything else she knows is off-limits. She's starting to throw tantrums (say good-bye to our perfect baby) and has an opinion about everything...which she shares all too often. :) She's still sweet though. And she's got quite the set of chompers! Almost 6 now (the last two are poking through but not fulling out).

My favorite things she does:
*Says "Da-da" for Daddy, "Hi" and waves (it's so cute), and Whfff-whfff for dog
*crawls under chairs and tables...who knows why...she's learning to be sneaky I think.
*sleeps through the night!!! This is a new one and it's for sure a FAVORTIE thing!
*throws a tantrum when she hears Molly in the tub and tries to crawl to the bathroom as fast as she can. She LOVES the tub! I was telling this to my pediatrician at our last visit and Janie was getting excited just hearing the word *bath*! Then she repeated the word "ba" and our doctor thought it was the greatest thing ever! I have to say, it was super cute.
*Gives kisses right on the lips. Mmm.
*Play bites/attacks us on occasion. It's really cute. I should try to get it on video when she does it to Molly.
*Laughs every time she sees Molly, hears Molly, gets close to Molly. She LOVES her big sister. And who wouldn't!? Molly's the BEST big sister this world will ever know!

We love our girls!

Other Wonderful Random Photos from July

Matt's training for an Olympic Triathlon so we've been at the beach a lot the last month so he can get his swims in. Her are some fun photos of the girls.


My friend Jen took this picture of Molly and her daughter. She called it "Molly-Marilyn Monroe"
My little fish...

We went to the Children's museum with Ashley and her kids. Some random girl jumped into this shot. :)


Ash & Brinley

Me & The Babe
That must be some FANCY pizza parlor...the chef wears pearls and is pretty girly (hand on hip)!


Jane's first baseball game (outside of the womb)...it was a blowout. Not the best 1st game, but maybe we'll try again.




Trip to Chelan & My 1st 10k

I finished my first 10k! The turnaround point was right in front of the house so Matt, Molly, Jane, Grandma Donna, Grandpa Ned, Alicia, and her boyfriend came out to cheer me on. Matt forgot to bring the camera out so I don't have any pictures, but oh well. You can see my nifty medal. :) Molly thought it was pretty special...even after I told her that everybody got one.
You can try to check out my photo on the official website...
Alicia helped her make this awesome sign. It was really cute!

Molly had a BLAST with Grandma Donna & Grandpa Ned. She was really disappointed to find out that they live a long way from our house and we won't be able to visit as often as she would like to. :( We'll have to make the trip to their house one of these days!



Janie loves books. Sometimes I wonder if she likes the taste of them better than the pictures though. She was able to resist the urge to eat these books somehow.

Molly Turns 5!



Birthday Party with Friends








Jane Playing Doll House




4th of July Trip to Hawaii

Our trip to Hawaii (Kauai) with our family plus Matt's parents and Hannah





These pictures are such too precious! They should be in a magazine.








When they called for audiance volunteers, Molly was one of the first ones up on stage. They called her the Modern-day Shirley Temple. She was so cute and did a great job doing the hula. I took a video of it, but it's too big to post. I'll have to see if I can condence it. :)














Matt & I took a helicopter ride around the island. It was so beautiful & amazing! We saw countless rainbows, unbelievable views including the inside of a crater and waterfall after waterfall. We would totally recommend trying it out!
