Xavier just has to sit and watch.

Orion and Daddy won the water game, the prize was this soda.

Lots of fun little kid games to play.

Xavier still watching.

The boys!

9 months old

We had Xavier's 9 month check up today and boy did we get a surprise. We have been wondering what he was going to weigh since he seems like he weighs 30 lbs when you carry him around all day! He weighed 20 lbs and 5.6 oz at his 6 month appointment and today he weighed in at 20 lbs and 14 oz. Yep that's right.....he is now in the 50th percentile or as the doctor put it "average" for weight instead of topping the charts in the 90th percentile like he was for the 6 month appointment. He did gain two full inches in length in the past 3 months though, he is now 2 feet 6 inches long which is still the 90th percentile. The doctor said that he looks perfect and is on track for everything that he should be doing at his age so we can't ask for anything more.

Family Fun

The zoo

We took a trip to the zoo and Grandma came with us. Of course the best part of the day for Orion was riding the train. The moment the train started going Orion's face lit up and he had a huge smile on his face for the entire ride. He was not happy when we had to get off and shed a few tears even. This little boy really loves trains!
