9 months old!
The last month FLEW by. Just so busy around here. Cormac was born on Juliet's first day of preschool...and last week, he turned 9 months old on her last day of preschool!
We had his 9 month appointment today. I was shocked to find out that he has dropped in weight percentile to the 35th. I mean, can you SEE these thighs?? They are huge!! There is nothing petite about this kid! He's 19 lbs. 13 oz and 28.5" long. I think height was right at 50%.
His double ear infection has cleared up. He has 4 teeth coming in. (top four...the outer 2 are pretty much out and the middle two have poked through). Having these top teeth is already changing his appearance so much!! Glad I took these 9 month pictures right on time and captured this gummy little smile one last time. Speaking of these pics, I can't wait to line up all 12 months and see the change. He's wearing the same onesie in every picture (photoshop stamp for the month circle) and you can already see how it's getting tighter and the sleeves getting shorter.
Dr. Daisy's comments about him at the beginning of the exam were how happy he always is and how she didn't believe me (jokingly) that he is into EVERYTHING these days. By the end of the exam, she was like, "oh, you are IN for it!!" He is sooooooo busy. It's seriously exhausting trying to keep up with him. He tackled stairs a few weekss ago and he's not even a little bit timid about climbing up them. I've taught Aidric and Juliet how to gently pull him back down when he's only on the first stair or scream for me if he happens to make it up past that before I notice (yes, we need to babyproof)
He threw his first temper tantrum today. Full on. He wanted to put a cord in his mouth and when I said, "no no" and took it away from him, he looked at me with his adorable scrunched up nose, puffed some air out and then flung himself backwards onto the floor. After screaming and arching his back for a minute, he sat back up, made eye contact with me, grabbed the cord and shoved it in his mouth. Seriously?? Juliet #2??? Lord, give me strength!!!!

Happy FIVE years to Aidric!!!
It has been a crazy time around here. Last days of school for both kids...Aidric's last days of preschool ever and Juliet's last days at St. James (she'll be heading to RUMP next year). Cormac turned 9 months and Aidric turned the BIG 5!!!!!
Here are some pics from his big day!
I worked at RUMP that morning, so a few from there first:
the preK class:
working in the art room
birthday boy! his list this year: favorite colors: red, blue and green favorite food: lean pockets favorite thing to do: play with benjamin what i want to be when i grow up: a paleontologist and a super hero
here we go round the birthday boy
being silly with benjamin
PARTY TIME!!! Originally, Aidric really wanted a big party..his whole class at a bouncy house type place. And I really didn't want that..so we compromised. I gave him a limited number of kids to invite to our house and promised him a trip to Disneyland :) In the end, he was thrilled with his party and I had so much fun planning it for him!
Glitter Baseball Craft
Water Balloons ready to go!
hot dogs, chips and fruit
water balloon baseball!
Captain America is a new favorite around here...thanks Grandma P for this awesome costume!
This is a thank you tackle :) He was so excited about Juliet's gift to him..Captain America stomp rockets.

A Day in Our Life 2012
I did one of these slideshows a couple of years ago and when I went to look for the blog post to put a link here, I realized I never blogged it! Oops...I'll see if I can find it on shutterfly and add to this post. It's crazy how much has changed in 2.5 years!
This past Tuesday, I brought my camera up to our room with me when I went to bed. I started taking pictures at 4:48 am and didn't stop until 7:37 pm. I took over 200 pictures but culled it down to 110 to keep the slideshow (relatively) short. It's a little over 7 minutes, so I understand if you skim it :) But, I love having all the mundane details of our daily life documented like this! How fun it will be to look back at 20 years from now!
UPDATE! Here is the video from 2009! WOW! Sooo much has changed!! New house, Chris not working from home anymore, 2 big kid beds and a minivan!
