Troy is 9 months(like 2 weeks ago)

On March 28th Troy turned 9 months. He wasn't quit yet crawling but has since started it was about 1 week after he was nine months. He also got his first tooth (The only thing he's done before Hailey.) He also can pull up in his crib to stand. I still think it is so cute to walk in and see him standing there waiting for me. He got another earache and this time got a shot of antibiotic so hopefully this is not a reaccuring problem. It was a pretty yucky earache where he had visable puss coming out. TMI, sorry. (I've decided to make a blog book so that is why I'm trying to write more and add more pictures!) Troy was also about 22 pounds maybe he'll work a little bit of that off when he gets moving more but he sure has a appatite. He is such a sweetie who is pretty easy going! We love our big boy Troy!!

Crawling!

If you look closely you can see Troy's tooth along with some food.

Post Easter fun!

The Saturday after Easter the Primary decided to have a Easter Egg hunt activity. It was really fun and we had a good turn out. Hailey and Troy had a lot of fun!



We got ourselves dressed today!

Hailey is helping Troy look at the camera, I don't think he likes it!

Easter

On Easter we had my parents come over and siblings and we had lunch between conference. It was fun!

We tried to get a little family picture but it was so crazy windy that it didn't really turn out.
I don't know what Josh and Hailey think is so funny in this picture!

Pre-Easter Fun

The Hakes came over on Monday For FHE and brought pizza! It was fun! Grandma Hakes also brought strawberry rice krispy treats to dip in chocolate and sprinkles with Hailey! Hailey thought it was so fun and they were really good!

sick

I'm mostly documenting this so that we can count our blessings and be grateful for our health. We've spent the majority of this month being sick. From fevers, to coughs, runny noses, pink eye, ear aches we've pretty much had all of everything twice. Cycle one toward the begining of the month and then cycle two toward the end of the month. I've been sick twice myself but luckily no pink eye. Troy was even tested for RSV luckily it was negative. We even missed playing with our cousins who came to town because we were sick! (So lucky that we did because Hailey developed pink eye that night!) Troy's still recovering but hopefully were done with this for a while.

Troy Troy likes the toy toy

It's funny lately I've realized that someone who is not so mobile should not be allowed to have such a strong opinion about where they're going or what they're doing. Troy is quite opinionated about where he want to go or what he want to play with although he wants me to take him there. I'm thinking this is good motivation for crawling but well see. My back is kind of suffering from carrying such a heavy load. He is now 9 months and 21 lbs. (recently lost a little from being sick) 9 month pictures to come! Anyway he loves the big toy we have outside and wants us to hold his hands so that he can walk around and explore! He loves climbing through the holes, going down slides, watching Hailey, and walking around... exploring at our expense. I'm really glad though that we are getting some good use out of our toy, I was afraid it wouldn't be exciting anymore but I think we're gonna get a lot of fun out of it! Troy is almost to crawl he's army crawling and comfortable up on all fours but still figuring out the coordination.

Hailey's funny sleep

Two different stories. 1. Hailey one night got up from her bed while I was in the computer room and Josh was at the Gym and took her blankets and laided down on the floor in our room. I was a little scared when I went to go check on her and this is what I found. But then I found her in our room!



2. Josh one night went to put Hailey down and a lot of time had gone by like 45 minutes and no word from Josh so I thought I peek on them and this is what I found.

I showed Josh the next day and he was like I sleep with my arms folded, I didn't know that! I got a good laugh out of it!
