9 Months

Can you believe Macie is already 9 months old? We go to the doctor next week so I will let you know how she is growing. For now, I thought I would share a photo from yesterday and give a few updates. ( I tried to get a picture to upload, but its not working . Check back later)
Macie loves her brother. She wants to play with his favorite things and just watch him play. She loves to pull apart his train tracks. She is crawling all over the place and loves to pull up to standing. She is trying to take a few steps and transfer from the couch to the coffee table. She falls about 50 times a day. Thankfully, she has not discovered the steps yet. She likes to try out the cat food and play in the cat litter. We do try to keep her out of both. She really likes to eat people food. The other night she had pork tenderloin, pasta, bread, and asparagus for dinner. She loves to be outside. Starting about 4 in the afternoon she is really cranky, but if you take her outside she is happy. She still doesn't sleep great. She thinks she is an infant who needs to take lots of short naps during the day. Most nights she sleep 8-10 hours, but then she wants to eat and go back to sleep. This would be fine except she is usually in bed before 8 so I hear from her before 5 am. She really is a joy to be around and we think she is pretty darn cute.
This time last year we were in Disney World. It was an awesome trip. We are planning to take the kids to the Magic Kingdom after Thanksgiving, but it won't be the same as staying in the park for a week. Hopefully we will go again before Macie turns 3. Most people think 2 is too young, but kids are free until their 3rd birthday. Carson loved it (He was 31 months) and a year later still talks about it. He is excited to go back. I highly recommend taking your kids as many times as you possibly can while they are young. The memories are worth every penny we spent. Maybe I will put a picture up when they are working again!
