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.

First Beach Swim
The kids had their first experience with the beach, the ocean, and sand. Michael immediately started eating sand, which peaked Malia's interest and she started eating it too. The kids liked splashing in the water after the waves brought it up to them, but the waves themselves were too much for them to enjoy.
We really had a great vacation and thank Maw-maw and Paw-paw for their hospitality, cooking, and company. We can't wait to come back when the kids are walking. Our little cookie monsters had so much fun during the trip and we have great photos, videos, and memories.

FL Vacation
Luckily Irene didn't stop us from enjoying our vacation. Maw-maw and Paw-paw were kind enough to let us stay with them this week. We have really enjoyed spending time down here and just relaxing. Jason and I can get away in the evenings after the kids go to bed, which is wonderful!

crawling and crazy crab
Michael loved crawling on the lids of some containers I bought recently.
Malia got into a crawl walk position, but couldn't figure out the walking part.

Goodbye Father Rod
Father Rod, the priest at our church, passed away suddenly. It was very sad, but I was able to dress up the kids and bring some smiles to sad faces.
I also snapped some pictures of the kids hanging out by the sliding glass door.

Fun at the Park
We are trying to get to the park more often, now that the weather has cooled down.
We started using this really neat backpack to carry a kid in when we go.
The kids love swinging. They weren't too excited about the slide.
Exploring!
Michael LOVES moving and exploring. He's started climbing whatever her can.
He discovered the dishwasher while we were cleaning the kitchen.
Malia is still rolling instead of crawling.
Michael found how to crawl out of his room.
And climb the railings outside his room.

Cupcake Mania
The kids had a blast at their buddy's birthday party. Jackson is the big 0-1 and the kids had a wonderful time at his party. They also enjoyed their first cupcake experience.
Malia was all about eating the yellow icing on her cupcake. Michael dug right into his orange cupcake. We ended up having an impromptu bath at Jackson's house after this.

Crawlers get into everything
Michael steals Malia's things now. She is trying to crawl, so she'll be able to get away soon.
Malia gets rescued sometimes from her brother's antics.
One day she rolled to and climbed up the jumper and started dancing. Watch out!
Michael gets into anything you leave in sight.
Even Chewy has to watch out!

Good Luck Aunt Natalie!
Aunt Natalie is taking her big test soon. To wish her luck, the kids decided to take a photo pretending to take a test. They were very successful, as I'm sure Aunt Natalie will be.
Good Luck Natalie! You will do great!
Good Morning!
Now that Michael is crawling and standing very well, we always wake up to the kids chit-chat. It means they wake up earlier, but they also wake up happy.

Starting finger foods!
We decided to try some finger foods today. The kids had graham crackers, diced ham, wagon wheels, and frozen green beans. Later in the evening they had buttered toast. I keep a close eye on them, but they seem to do really well.

Book Fight
Michael and Malia have discovered their love for books. As a result we have book fights because they always want the book the other one is "reading".
The video is long, but it has a lot of fun moments in it.

COSI science museum
The kids ate their breakfast super fast and then we were off to COSI. Thing 1 and Thing 2 shirts courtesy of our friend Anna.
Michael loved learning about dinosaurs and playing with blocks.
Malia was able to tame a dino and take a ride.
Then we headed to the water zone and played for a bit.
The kids told dad all about the fun they had when he got home.

happy birthday aunt natalie!
"He's touching me!"
"Malia, your toy looks really cool."
"Leave it alone."
"Help, I've fallen and I can't get up."
"This toy is mine now."
Shout out to Aunt Natalie on her bday!

Lots O' Toys
When I was little we used to say "I'm bored!" a lot even though there was so much fun stuff we could be doing. When I saw this picture, it made me think of those days.
