Tripp - 9 Months

Tripp had his 9 month check-up with our new pediatrician in Kerrville!  After several jokes from the nurses on his size, we found out he is 29 inches (75th percentile) and 23 pounds, 8 ounces (90th percentile).  He's in 18 - 24 mo. clothes so he's still a BIG boy.  He's a very good baby and is super sweet.  He's so laid back - maybe it's because he's the second baby?  He's crawling now which has made life really crazy around here.  To wear him out I let him race Sayler down our hallway.  She always wins but at least he gets some exercise.  He's also cruising and pulling up on anything and everything he can find (sturdy or not) which forces me to not take my eyes off him for a second.  Luckily only a few little tumbles so far.  He still has very blue eyes.  By this time Sayler's blue eyes had started to change to brown but we think Tripp might keep my eye color!

Last Day of Tapestry

Moving Day at Houston house

Kerrville House

Sayler excited about her first day of school! 

(in the breakfast room at the new house)

We've been in our new house in Kerrville for a week now and are getting settled. Sayler & Tripp were in Dallas with my parents while we moved from the Houston house and got settled here in Kerrville.  Caki & Pop brought them to Kerrville on Saturday and Caki stayed for a few days to help me finish unpacking.  Sayler had her first week of Mother's Day Out this week and did great.  Her teacher met us in the hall and Sayler handed over her coat and Sleepy (her blanket).  The she followed Ms. April to her new classroom and started playing with toys.  I haven't met any of the other parents yet, but I like her new teachers and think this school will be a great fit for her. 

Last Day of KDO

Dancing with Simone

We love you, Ms. Robin & Ms. Jessica!

Sayler had her last day at KDO today.  Her sweet teachers and the other kids made her going away gifts and we had a little party.  I think I'll miss her teachers and class just as much as she will!

Sayler, Tripp & I had a playdate with 2 of my good friends from Tapestry today.  McCain and Blake are such sweet kids and we're so glad we were able to all get together!

Sayler had to go to the ER a few weeks ago because of a bad upper respiratory infection.  This is her cute oxygen mask that she was able to take home.  She loves wearing it around the house now (probably because it has her favorite color: purple).

She's really into cleaning right now.  She always wants to help me vacuum.

 This is how Tripp preferred to sit in his high chair at lunch.  He was mesmerized by the people at the table next to us.

The Aquarium

Tracy had a few days off before our move from Houston so we took the kids to the Houston Aquarium for lunch and a ride on the train.

Christmas Morning

Did Santa have some cookies and milk?

Helping Tripp open his present

Tripp thinks that's a real bottle

We had so much fun on Christmas morning!  Sayler loved opening presents and Tripp was happy playing with the bags and wrapping paper.  Santa brought Tripp his first tooth!!!
