Thanksgiving weekend














It's always fun getting to spend time with grandparents , aunts, uncles, and cousins!




Me and Aunt Rachel... this cucumber feels great on my new teeth!



Grandpa's beard feels neat





Cuddling with my cousins






Ansel likes playing with necklaces people are wearing... Karina wasn't too thrilled about that!





Who ever came up with these videos knew what they were doing!

Tooth #2



This past week was a busy one for Ansel... shots started up again. He got both synagis (for RSV) and another flu shot this week. To top that off, his second tooth (also on the bottom) popped up. Needless to say he was a little fussier than usual, but not as bad as I expected he'd be. He's also getting more excited about food which is great.. mostly just finger foods. We actually did find one thing he didn't mind eating off of a spoon... he saw us eating icecream and and kept going after it! At 11 months old this past week, he weighed 16 lbs. 7oz. This next week should be lots of fun getting to see a lot of his cousins again! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!




Hmm... I don't know about this one

First tooth!

Ansel's first tooth popped up just over a week ago! (You can barely see it if you click on the picture to enlarge it)



He sometimes will eat little bites of some types of food. He loves the little baby puffs that look like dry cereal.

I'm beginning to think he's going to skip the whole pureed baby food and rice cereal from a spoon phase. We keep trying it, but he just hasn't taken to it. We tried again the other day, and as the spoonful of green beans sat on his tongue (accompanied by a look of disgust) he began frantically making the sign for milk.

We began showing him some signs, so far he knows milk and will sometimes do light. (He's getting pretty good at signing milk when he's ready for it!)

He's been sitting up really well for a month or so now, but still hasn't really scooted or crawled yet. He still LOVES bath time. He splashes and kicks so much the floor, mirrors, and mom are usually soaked. He also still loves to drink out of a glass.

My Shadow!




Ansel's new discovery this past week....his shadow. He loves it. He tries to grab it off the wall, he talks to it, laughs at it, and just gets really excited to see it.

Our Nine Month Old
















Ansel turned 9 months Wednesday and had his doctor check up yesterday. He weighed 15 lbs. 7 oz. and is now 26 inches long.





He also decided to roll from his back to tummy earlier this week and is having fun with his new found ability to move more. He used to practice by grasping one of our fingers to help him roll off of his back. Then, when he started to do it on his own, we caught him grabbing on to his own finger in order to make the move!





Check out my new ride!






There's more than one way to use this thing!




They even sleep the same!









*P.S. Happy Birthday tomorrow Daddy!
