Nolan got into Grace's crib last night. Grace thought that was hilarious! Nolan thought Grace laughing was hilarious! I got a little of the laughter on video.

Grace walking - july 2009 from eachoc on Vimeo.

1 week!

Grace. will. be. 1. in. 1. week. (and 1 day)

She is walking now. (Crawling is so 2 weeks ago.)

I have a great video of her walking that I can't get off my phone to upload! Argh!

She finally has a tooth! She got her first tooth and started taking steps on her own on the same day. Honestly, we knew the walking was coming - she's be cruising for months, but the tooth! that was a surprise! We were starting to wonder if she would ever get teeth!

Her birthday party is next week.

Nolan is still an awesome little boy. No new updates. (we are looking for volunteers to potty train him.)

videos!

We took the kids to the fountains in Suwanee for our 5 year anniversary.

In the video with Grace, Grace is one making all of those noises. Her noises crack me up. She has started standing on her own. She will be walking on her own any second now. She still doesn't have any teeth!

Nolan is a great big brother. We were looking at pictures on the computer the other day. We came across one with Nolan and Grace on the floor playing with a toy together. Nolan looked at the picture and said "Gace." Then he went over to the toy and said "Gace" again. Then he walked over to Grace, gave her a kiss, and handed her a car. So sweet!

We are starting potty training with Nolan. Any one want to do it for us?

9 month stats

Grace had her 9-month well baby appointment Monday.
She weight 18 lbs, 8 ozs and is 28 inches long.
She is the 50 percentile for weight and height and still has her tiny 25 percentile head.

She got a toe prick and 2 shots. She cried for about 10 seconds. The doctor was impressed by how easier Grace can go from her stomach to her back to sitting up. She's been going it so long and so easily that I forgot it was a milestone! The doctor was also impressed that Grace is cruising. She will pull up on anything - couch, cat, Nolan, table... - and start walking around it. She is starting to climb stairs, but has no idea how to get back down.

She babbles all the time. She moves all the time. She is just HUGE ball of energy squeezed into a tiny body. She so badly wants to be a big kid like her brother. She loves playing with him (until he pushes her away). And she loves stealing his food (until he pushes her away).

This would be a great place to insert a 9 month picture of Grace. Some one should take one....
