A few more pics from Colorado

I think Leif misses having a cuggle-bug. Too cute.

9 Month Check-Up

Leify had his 9 month check up today, he was a little behind because I decided to switch Dr.'s. His previous Dr. was a little too "let nature take it's course" for me. If my baby is sick I want him better now.

He weighed in at 19lbs and was 28inches long. I guess that puts him about in the 40th percentile for both. He is growing up so fast!

Colorado

Today is our last day here in Colorado Springs. We've been having a blast. Aspen and Leify have been playing great together. Mia is gorgeous and a sweet little baby. She loves to be cuggled and sang to, and most of all to EAT. The Hasselblad gene must be overpowering...she looks exactly like Malo, just like Leify does Leif.

Aspen has a play tent that has a door bell and plays music. Leify has started to wave his arms around now when the music comes on. It is pretty funny, I have no idea what made him start doing this, but it seriously cracks me up.

I think spending all this time with girls; first Aubriana last week, and now Aspen and Mia, has made Leify find his voice. Usually he is quiet and easy going...now he can yell and scream with the best of them. It is interesting to see the strong separation of the sexes in kids as young as these.

We are taking the kiddos to Kiddie Kandids today to have a cousin picture. I have a picture package with Yeun Lui at home, but quite honestly I am fed up with them. The last two times we have gone Leify and I were herded in and out like cattle. The person taking pictures could have done a much better job, but didn't. So to Kiddie Kandids we go.

Leify has also been taking cues from Aspen in the walking department, since we have been here he has started standing up on his on. He will stand in place for up to a minute at a time!! Thankfully he hasn't figured out how to start walking, or life as I now it would come to an abrupt end. He has been playing with a "learn to walk" toy of Aspen's while we have been here....scary.

I finished the fourth and last book of the twilight saga, and I must say I was very happy that the author finally made the nonsense between Jacob and Edward end. I wish this wasn't the end though...I think Leif would disagree, lol. I managed to finish the 700+ page book in less than 24 hours.

A New Look

I've been getting so many compliments on the new look of the blog that I have to say...It wasn't me!! My super talented sis-in-law Nicole dreamed this up for me, and I love it! Thanks so much! :)

Utah

Leify and I made a trip out to Utah to spend some time with Nicole and Aubriana. We had so much fun! Minus the burning hot weather. The kiddos played good together...some of the time ;)

Leify was determined to make Minnie (Tim and Nicole's miniature schnauzer) his new friend, she thought otherwise.

Nicole took some awesome pictures while we were there go check out her blog to see them; Stamps4fun.blogspot.com

Flying by yourself with a child is quite the feat; I think I could not work out for a month and I would be good. He did OK on the plane, I was extremely grateful that on the way back there were enough empty seats that I was able to bring is car seat on board. He didn't like being held by me the way there. He is too busy!!
