Gingerbread Houses!

On Saturday, we did our yearly tradition of decorating gingerbread houses the weekend of Thanksgiving! We do it at my mom's friend's church. We have been going since Kylie was a baby and have only missed one year when we were in IL for Thanksgiving.

Where's Brayden?!!! :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a nice Thanksgiving! Jacob got up early and went hunting. When the kids got up, we watched cartoons til the Macy's Day Parade came on then we watched that as we got ready for the day.

We went to Jacob's Gomama's house to celebrate Thanksgiving with his family at 1. Kylie played outside most of the time, getting her brand new white tights all dirty.

We left there around 3 and headed to my parents' house.

the best picture we got before getting scared Kylie was going to let go of Brayden and he would fall on the brick steps [He just about did!]

Brayden got a boo-boo [but not from the steps]! :(

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

Brayden's 9 month Check-up!

Today Brayden had his 9 month check-up! He weighs 16.6lbs [gained a little over a pound & half in one month] and he's 28 inches long! He's still not on the chart as far as percentile for weight but he hasn't been for a while and he's 25% for height. Just for comparison purposes, at 9 months, Kylie was 18lb 1 oz and 28 1/3 inches.

She looked him over and said he looks good. She saw his 2 bottom teeth coming in and said his top 2 teeth will be coming in shortly [you can see them thru his gums]. She suggested I start giving him snacks in between meals, such as yogurt. I actually gave him some yogurt this morning after his oatmeal but he was spitting up more than usual from it so not sure he's ready for it. And also said I should add some rice cereal to his baby food, which I've always done since I started giving him baby food for extra calories and to thicken it up a little.

His doctor is moving to a different office, actually joining Haylee's doctor so next time he sees her, she'll be in the new office. And I just can't believe the next time we see his doctor, he'll be a year old! Which means I need to start planning his 1st birthday... say it ain't so! :(

School Potluck

Tuesday night, Kylie had a Song Fest & Potluck at her school! They do this every year the week before Thanksgiving. I dropped off Kylie in her classroom and sat down in the Sacutuary and waited for each class to walk in. They sang a couple songs then we all ate!

LOVE that kid behind her's face [what is he doing?!]! HAHA

Her class made lanterns and corn for centerpieces for the tables.

Singing songs always makes her SO sleepy!
