Kids using sippy cups

Last days of Spring

Michael did not want to pose for the picture. He likes to move now that he's an expert a crawling and climbing stairs.

Michael got a black eye after falling into a kitchen cabinet. He cried for about 30 seconds and was back to exploring.

Cooler weather means we can wear baby legs (baby leggings). Michael's started falling down after a long day of crawling. He looks like a ballerina.

The kids always try to grab the camera.

Malia didn't want to pose for this picture, her eyes are full of tears.

This picture shows one of the many spiders living around our house. I found 4 of this kind (yellow stripe and silver belly) and then there are a ton of brown and black ones of all sizes.

[Now nobody is going to want to come to our house :( ]

Malia and Michael Teaming Up

The kids are both crawling now, so they travel together and get into everything.

Michael 9 months

Any chance he gets, Michael heads straight into the laundry room. We try to keep the door closed, but when we forget, we hear this.....

Malia 9 months

Malia is less mischievous when Michael isn't around. He was napping during this video. Malia and I decided to watch Pretty Woman, but Malia was more interested in toys.

happy birthday to mom

9 months old

The kids are 9 months old. Michael is climbing stairs, crawling, drinking from a sippy cup, experimenting with gravity, and has 2 teeth. Malia is crawling, drinking from a sippy cup, trying tons of new foods (sometimes forgets to chew before swallowing), clapping, and dancing.

 The weather finally cooled off so we busted out the pants and jackets and headed outside to play.

Cutie Pies almost 9 months

I caught Michael giving that adorable baby in the mirror kisses.

Malia LOVES the camera!

Michael has 2 teeth!

It's super hard to get a picture of a baby's teeth. So I tried to get them on video but it's hard to see. You'll just have to trust me - they are there. Bottom two front teeth.

Malia is crawling (and clapping)!

During our vacation Malia decided to get serious about crawling. She started doing it when people weren't looking, but then she got brave enough to show it off.

She also has started clapping.
