Over the weekend

Ethan before the Vikings/49ers game on Sunday...supporting both teams...

Boys celebrating after the BETTER TEAM won!! Yay Vikings!

Ethan & Kian ready for a big outdoor outing to go watch a friend play football on a balmy Saturday afternoon.
We've survived another doosey of a cold and even our first random babysitter that neither Mom or Dad knew. All and all things are good. We can't wait for Grammie and Baba Jun to arrive in 2 weeks!

It's official....

KIAN IS CRAWLING!!!!! Here's a short video- it's kinda dark but it's proof!





We're watching the TU football game with Daddy...

9 months old!

Amazing...time has flown by. We say that every month as we hit milestones, but really, it has. Mom and Dad were talking the other night and we over heard them say, "wow...we never thought we'd be doing this well this early". And boy, have we surprised them!!

We had our 9 month check up with the doctor the other day. We have grown a lot! Let's start with me, KIAN, the oldest child (yes, only by a minute but nonetheless, the OLDEST)!

I weigh 19lbs 13oz. I went from the 13%tile at 6mo to the 36.5%tile at 9mo in the weight category. I am 28.07inches long in the 41%tile for my age up from 18%tile at 6mo. Please remember that at our 1st well-child check I was in the less than 0.03%tile. Yay me!! I am rolling and I even took my first coordinated crawls the last few days. I really am too lazy to sit straight up, but I do sit- leaning on my arm sometimes. I'm eating some baby foods with oatmeal but I'm not a big fan of the 'sitting in my highchair' time. I like to be out and moving not sitting still. I'm talking what Dad would say "jibberish" but really, I just tell them what I think- they choose not to listen. I do still have a small problem with my reflux (bad bad heartburn) but Mom took me to the doctor about a month ago and changed my medicine so I am feeling better. I really wish I could play more with my brother. I try to come over and take his toys all the time, but all he does is squeal and cry for Mom so Mom tells me to leave him alone.

ETHAN's turn!

I weigh 21lbs 8oz and am in the 64.5%tile up from 29%tile at 6mo. Yes, they do call me fatty! Believe it or not, I've even stretched out a little. I'm 27.75inches long- in the 30%tile up from the 6%tile in June. Hard to believe again, I was in the less than 3%tile. I'm a Momma's boy. I like to play independently without my brother and yell at him when he comes over to steal my toys or touch me. I'm not even close to crawling, but I do play 'superman' when I am on my belly. I eat the same as my brother and LOVE my gerber's puffs. I do talk, not as often, but in spurts.

All in all it's been a wonderful 9months. We look forward to sharing more milestones with you. Thanks MN for an awesome trip and CA, we're planning a get-a-way hopefully very soon!

We've landed!

We've returned home after a long trip to Minnesota to see family and friends. Surprisingly, we all tolerated the 12+hour ride pretty well. It was a jam packed week of events including an open house for family and friends to meet the Madjids and a friend's wedding. We even had the opportunity to hang out at the cabin for Labor Day weekend.

Here's Kian peering over the gate towards the lake...does he want to go swimming?

Auntie Buffy playing with Kian and Ethan. Check out that smile on Kian!
