Spring has Sprung!

Ignore the rosey cheeks and the windblown hair, I'm going to declare it officially spring! Hopefully I'm not eating my words in the next few weeks. With the warmer weather (think 45-50 degrees!) and the snow being all melted, we took advantage and got outside a lot the last few days!

On Friday I took the boys to a park nearby and Sean has his first go at the swings. They both loved them, can you tell?!

Then he enjoyed some goldfish crackers in the stroller...

...while Ian played on the jungle gym!

Unfortunately, it was raining most of Saturday so we didn't get out. Today it was a bit more dry so we took Ian out in the driveway and he rode his tricycle for the first time outside!

Then we got Ian's old push car out for Sean and he loved it! Ian loved pushing him in it, too.

9 Months Old

On February 28th (or March 1st?!), Sean turned 9 months old! At 9 months old, Sean:

*is sleeping from 7:00/7:30pm-6:30/7:00am
*is taking 3 solid meals/day and is almost only on finger/table food, not loving purees so much
*does really well with a straw sippy cup
*has 2 bottom teeth and 4 upper teeth
*taking two naps/day at about 1 1/4- 1 1/2 hours each
*crawling and cruising everywhere
*can stand for a few seconds by himself
*has adjusted well to spending 2 days/week with Betch while I work
*wants to play with all of Ian's toys
*plays peak-a-boo by hiding behind his blanket and lowering it when you say "peak-a-boo!"
*signs "more"
*claps and waves hi/bye
*says mama and dada (and sometimes actually seems to mean them)

*has taken to his navy blue baseball blankie and likes to sleep with it now

He was 19 pounds 9 ounces at his 9 month appointment, wearing a size 12months in jeans and 18 months in pretty much everything else.
