9-months!

David had his 9 month appointment on the 28th, he was 19lbs 6oz and 29" long. He is a tall skinny boy and the doctor was impressed with his demeanor.

It is amazing that David has now been here longer than I was pregnant with him, time really does fly when you are having fun.

David thinks the level is great, some day his dad and grandpa will have to teach him how to use it.
Flame is very patient with David, and David loves him.

On another note, I'm doing much better. I have to wear my wrist brace for another 3 weeks, but I no longer am wearing the brace on my right arm, except for when I'm taking care of David on my own, since I can't pick him up without it.

Ouch

Here is David watching the first Broncos game of the season:
Out for his first bike ride:
I tripped over Flame this weekend and hit the pavement all wrong, this is not a fun reason to be off work :(

Sweet boy

Today LANL (our employer for those that don't know) had their yearly picnic. We stuffed ourselves and walked around a bit. Next year David will have fun in the bounce houses and getting his face painted.

Just hanging with mommy:

I made David a book from a fabric panel last week, he seems to like it :)


He also seems happy with his new alien bib that I sewed this afternoon.

Army crawl

David started army crawling in the last couple of weeks. Curiosity of Kelly's Great Dane Pique really increased his motivation.

Growing up!

I've been slacking on the picture posting, so I'll work to remedy that ;)

Working backwards, David is 8 months now! He is growing fast and working on a full head of hair.
His first tooth popped through a couple of weeks ago, it is still small, but sure is sharp:
My friend and coworker Meghan knitted David a teddy bear, he has been playing with it a lot lately:
Here he is in his authentic Indian shirt, thanks Alina :)
"Alcatraz Reject: Too Cute"
My garden is starting to produce some yummy veggies, we had zucchini bread out of our ears for a while (I'm not complaining, it was awesome and I'm impatiently awaiting the next crop). Here is David dreaming of living on a real farm:
We finally bought an outdoor drying rack, I think the diapers look quite pretty out there:
A future singer?Modeling is 4th of July diaper (we went to Mike, Kelly, and Amelia's to watch the fireworks):

David's friends

David is a pretty popular guy these days, here he is with some of his friends:

Brigit, David and Adrianna, he was enjoying the attention of the girls.

David and his buddy Ben, we try to get the boys together every week!

Cameron has joined David and Ben on play day a couple of times, he is about a month old here.

Amelia is David's youngest friend, we sure hope that they get along as they will be seeing a lot of one another.

Madison and her family recently moved here from Texas, we have enjoyed visiting.

Not the best picture, but David and Ava got to play by candle light during a recent storm that took out the power.

Here are David and Maia ready for a run, maybe even more ready than their moms!

6 months

I can't believe David is already 6.5 months! Time really does fly when you are having fun and watching someone grow. We had his appointment when we got back from our trip last week, he weighed in at 17lbs 12oz (49th percentile ) and was 27.5" (80th percentile), so long and thin. The doctor thought he might thin out even a bit more because he is very active. My friend Kelly just had her baby, Amelia, two days ago, I got to go to the hospital and visit when she was just a few hours old. Though she was a pound smaller than David I hardly remember him being that small. David and Amelia will get to meet for the first time on Sunday, which will be a lot of fun.
