Annaliese: 9 months

I can't believe it either but it's true, Annaliese is already 9 months old. She is a bundle of energy. She stand alone for short periods and crawls faster than I can! Here are her stats from her 9 month visit:

Weight: 18lbs 5oz (45%)

Height: 27 1/4 in (50%)

Head: 18 1/4 in (97%)

She has slowed down a little on her growing but Aubrianna did the same thing, and we all know she ended up being extremely healthy, but petite! The doctor says as long as her weight and length stay proportioned it is fine. Her head is way up there, also just like Aubrianna's.

Gatlinburg

We were able to go to Gatlinburg, TN and see the Fricks family (Amber's mom's family) as part of our vacation this year. We all rented a big cabin in the mountains and had a great time. It was a little crazy because there were seven kids four and under but we all got a little sleep and enjoyed seeing each other.

To me this spells trouble!

We went to the Ripley's believe it or not aquarium with everyone. It is a beautiful one. If you are ever in Gatlinburg you have to go there.

Annaliese has a favorite new food. While we were at the dinner show she sat quietly almost the whole time eating her corn on the cob.

Bath time

Annaliese loved these guys. She was squeezing their hands and would not let go.

On the chairlift. I have to admit I was a little afraid to take the girls on this. I strapped Annaliese on with the baby bjorn and Aubrianna was held tight by Daddy. They both loved it. It was beautiful up there and very relaxing to sit for a little while.

New Talent

Annaliese has decided, all of a sudden, that she can stand. She pulls up on anything and everything. She hasn't figured out how to sit back down yet but she is working on it.
