9 Months Old

Today marks a very special day. I have officially had Landry outside my belly for as long as I had her inside. I can't decide which one went by faster. I'm pretty sure it is her on the outside. My pregnancy seemed to last forever! I feel like mine and her lives are flashing right before our very eyes. She is getting so big and doing so many new things and it just makes me want to cry and burst at the seems all at the same time. Here are some new things we are doing at 9 months old.

1. She is cruising all the time. She of course crawls to get from A to B, but she loves to stand and cruise from the table to the ottoman to the couch to the chair. She just looks so grown up to me when she is standing.
2. She makes the funniest noises. If you have been around her for any length of time you know what I am talking about. She makes this noise that comes from her throat. It is so hard to explain. I need to put a video of it up. She only does it when she thinks something or someone looks funny or if she thinks she is getting away with something.
3. She is slowly learning how to share. I only try to point out the positive in these monthly timelines, but lately she just likes to take any toy you have in your hands away.
4. She loves Dada. The minute he walks in the door or comes into her room her face lights up. I know she loves me, but with him it is different, it's like she knows he is her daddy, her protector. I just love seeing the two of them interact. It melts my heart.
5. She is a people person. She has the best personality. She will talk or go to anyone and just look them up and down to see what they are wearing and then she will talk or play with them. I love her personality and that she is a people person. Hopefully she will always be this way.

Landry Kate, you are growing up so big right before your daddy's and my eyes. These last 9 months have been filled with laughter and fun. I cannot wait to see you develop more of your personality. Thank you for being mommy's best friend. We love you.


Also, I wanted to put her stats on here from her 9 month check up. Weight:24 lbs (100% percentile) Height: 30 inches (100% percentile) Head: 15.5 cm (75% percentile) As you can see, we have a big baby! Dr. Olivo said that was good and that she is very healthy! Here are some pictures I took while we were at the Dr's office waiting.

Too Cute Tuesday

This week's Too cute Tuesday is brought to you by our little flower! When I first put this costume on her last week, I cried because I was laughing so hard. I just thought that she made the cutest little flower.

It's the Great Pumpkin, Landry Kate

Happy Halloween! We had such a great week. Here are some of the things we did this week.

Friday, we went to my work for the annual Southwest Halloween event. Southwest goes all out for Halloween and I was so excited to be able to bring Landry with me this year. She had such a good time looking at all the costumes and meeting all my friends. This is my friend Lorie and her little girl Addison. She is just one month younger than Landry.


Friday night, we threw a suprise party for Robbie. He really was surprised! Happy Birthday, old man!


Saturday, we took Landry to the Flower Mound pumpkin patch. It was such a pretty day, and we had a great time.







Saturday night was our church's annual Trunk or Treat. Melissa and I decided to pass out candy this year and we did it from Tim's tailgate. We had planned on having tailgate bowling, but our plan didn't go so well, and it turned into "come look at the babies and get some candy"!







This is what Landry looked like by the end of the night!

Too Cute Tuesday

This week's picture is the one I sent out for her Halloween card. We took about 20 different pictures and this was by far my favorite she took. I love this look on her face like "why do I have to sit out here and take a million different pictures, mom?"

Also, I just love that pumpkin hat on her, too cute!

You're The One That I Want

What a great weekend! We three were busy little bee's this weekend.

Friday, Tim and I took Angel and Landry to the park. It was such a nice day out that we decided to walk. Landry and Angel both love our walks. Once we got there we were surprised to find... mud! We had forgotten about the monsoon we got last week and the whole playground was muddy. Oh well, we came to play! Landry loved the swing. Angel loved the mud!





Saturday, Tim got sick and ended up staying in bed most of the day. Not fun! Landry and I went to my work's Halloween party and had a blast! I did not get one picture though.

Sunday, we had our youth groups costume party. Tim and I decided to go as Danny and Sandy from Grease. Landry was our lil pink lady. We had such a great time making toilet paper mummies, bobbing for apples and looking at all the cute costumes our kids wore. Landry and Austin were of course the center of attention. Austin, you make the cutest lil penguin! We also decided to put Robbie's wig on Landry and Austin. They didn't think it was as funny as we did!

Oh So Fabulous

So, my girl Shay has deemed me Fabulous! Wow, what an honor. I have been called many things before, but I love being called Fabulous!

I am to list five things I'm obsessed with and then pass the award on to the five most fabulous blogs I know... Here goes

1. My new obsession is the power bagel from Einstein Bros. Bagels. My new pleasure for Friday mornings is a coffee and power bagel with low fat honey almond cream cheese. Oh so good.

2. I am obsessed with How I Met Your Mother. I only started watching this season, but have slowly caught up on the previous seasons by watching re-runs. This is one of the funniest shows around and my side always hurts after watching.

3. I am obsessed with online "looking". As opposed to online shopping. I never buy anything online for fear I won't like it or it won't fit, but I love to look and then go to the store to find it.

4. I am obsessed with Natural White Cheddar Cheetos. Thanks to Shay for turning me on to these. Landry and I both could sit and eat these in the afternoon and eat the whole bag if it weren't for Tim telling me to cook dinner and the fact that Landry needs to eat her real food! Thanks babe for keeping us in check.

5. I am obsessed with my weekends. It's the only time I have to spend with Tim and Landry, so I always make sure to jam pack in something for all 72 hours! If you will notice all my weekend posts are filled to the brim with things we have done. Tim was just saying how he would like one weekend where we don't have to go anywhere or do anything, but I can't help it, I'm a planner. Plus, I love going out and doing something with my two favorite people!

So, now is the part where I deem five blogs fabulous as well.

1. Melissa

2. Dani (at least this will make her post something!)

3. Stephanie

4. Katy

5. Sara

Too Cute Tuesday

This week's Too Cute Tuesday is of Landry and her new favorite thing to do lately. We moved right from crawling to standing up and holding on to everything. If there is something that is her height around her, she will automatically hold on to it and stand up.

Oh my goodness, she is getting so big, so fast!

Weekend with Mr. Wheeler

This weekend's wrap up is brought to you by Landry!


This weekend a very good friend of my parents came to stay with us. I love when people come to stay with us. Mr. Wheeler was one of my parents teachers when they were seniors in high school. He wasn't much older than them, so they became friends with him and his wife, Mandy. From what my mom tells me, they have been very good to my mom and dad over the years.

I had such a good time playing with him. He has 4 kids, so he was really good with me. He even got down on the floor and tried to wrestle with me. I told him that I was a lady and that ladies don't wrestle!


Then, he and my dad went here on Saturday


While my mom and I went here

I love shopping with my mom. We even got to have a girls lunch together. She told me it would be the first of many shopping trips and lunches.

I was sad to see Mr. Wheeler go home. I slept for 3 and a half hours Sunday afternoon because I was so tired.


Hope you all had a great weekend as well.

Random Pictures from the Week

Just thought I would share some of the cute pictures I took this week of our girl.

This is Landry's new favorite addiction. If I put her on the ground, she automatically will crawl to this table.


This is what I saw when we got home the other day. She loves her little hoodie jackets and will keep the hoods on.


Do I have anything on my face? We gave her egg for the first time Saturday, and she loved it! So much so, that she stuffed it in her mouth! My girl loves to eat.


Sunday was the first time we could brake out the boots. I love these little sweater boots on her. Look at how her foot tilts ever so slightly, so cute!


I just had to throw this one in. I absolutely love her feet. She has no ankles, but her feet are so cute.

Too Cute Tuesday

This week's Too Cute Tuesday is of Landry before we left for the fair. I had to snap a picture of her in her pumpkin hat and shirt. This pose that she is doing is our new thing. Whenever we see someone other than Tim or I, she does this little pose. It's the "I'm pretending to be shy, but I want you to see how cute I am" pose.

I LOVE this little girl so much!
