Emma's 9 month appt and Drew's football

Drew LOVES his Candy Land game that he got for Christmas from my parents! And he isn't much fun to play with because he ALWAYS wins!! (without cheating!!)



Drew missed basketball two weeks ago b/c all the programs at the Y were cancelled due to snow. Here he is dribbling down the court last week- he even has his head up!



Here's Emma and I playing while Drew napped.

Here's sick Emma. She had a bad runny nose, horrible cough, and a fever for several days last week. By Wednesday her fever went down and the runny nose slowed down. Last Friday she had her 9 month checkup, and we found out she has an ear infection in her left ear - the first ear infection with either of the kids!! Now she's teething pretty bad but overall, she is so much better!

I was surprised to find out that she is a little peanut at just 17 lbs 6 oz (25th percentile) and 28 inches (65th percentile). Her head, of course, is still big - 80th percentile! Her low weight could be from her lack of appetite all week. That, and she crawls all over the house - and she's really fast now!

Emma says "dada" and "mama" all the time now.

I've even taught her how to say "EmmmmMA!"

And remember when we would push Drew around on his truck, and he'd cry when we took him off?? Well, Emma has the same reaction!

Chad and Drew play basketball with the little goal my parents got him and baseball with the Tee Chad's parents got him almost every night. They even run a few football plays in the hallway. Here they are taking turns playing quarterback. Drew's getting better at throwing and catching!
