9 Months

The babies are 9 Months old!

I have just given up on trying to get good pictures.  We started off in the crib like normal, but now that they are pulling up on everything and they didn’t want to sit down.  They have been sick lately and have both had back to back ear infections.  It has been a hard week.

Sawyer- Is still the cuddliest little (I mean big) thing.

He loves to laugh and has just started crawling.

He weighs 21.7 pounds.  He just cut his first tooth (it’s on the bottom) and must be working on another one.   Between the runny nose and all the drool his poor little face is so splotchy.   He wears size 12-18 month clothes.                                                 

Baxley- Is still my center of attention.

This girl doesn’t miss a thing.  She has been pulling herself all over the house for months, but has still not started correctly crawling.  She pulls up on everything and I find her standing in her bed after each nap.

She weighs 17 pounds, but there is still a huge difference when you pick the two of them up.  She cut two bottom teeth between 7-8 months.  She wears size 9 months clothes.

They both take 4 bottles a day and eat 3 meals a day.  Bax is doing a little better than Sawyer on eating things like Puffs.

This picture cracks me up- look how big Sawyer is! Sam is so good with them.  I couldn’t be any prouder. 

Happy Halloween

Sam told me he wanted to be a shark for Halloween.

Happy Birthday Maggie

Maggie had a cute 2nd birthday at Village Creek.  E helped me and we took all 3 kids so I didn’t get that many pics.

Caroline and Jack

Sam had that same frog costume his first Halloween. 

Pics from the Week

Finally Fall

Rusty surprised us and set up some hay and a scarecrow in the yard.  I took the kids out to take their pictures and once again got nothing!  It is so hard to get three babies to pose for pictures:)

Sam did NOT want to cooperate!

Sam and Baxley have always had a strong bond.  Recently he and Sawyer have started to play.  Sawyer just laughs and laughs at him.

 

Baxley crawling right over Sawyer to get to what she wants.

Silly Eyes

Sam's babysitter took these pictures. They crack me up!

Happy 60th Pop!

Saturday was Mr. Sam’s 60th birthday!  He told Mrs. Donna that he wanted a family picture made.  So Saturday morning at 7:30, 6 adults and 10 kids were in my front yard with Kim Murphy taking pictures. After we finished the pictures some of us changed and we went over to Pop and Nonna’s for brunch.

We also celebrated E’s bday…again.

Bax had to change into her bday party outfit. We coordinated the pictures around these Kelly Kids outfits a lot of the kids had.  I can’t wait to see them.  This is Sam’s cousin Maggie.  They have a big time together.

We gave Pop a pic of Sam in E’s rice field.

Pop used to love to scuba dive with a dear friend who has since passed.  Nonna had a quilt made with some of their old dive t-shirts.

Mom and Nana came to help pull everything off!  Thanks so much for all of your help!

Nonna surprised Pop with a trip to New York! 

As if the day had not been full enough…after the birthday brunch we headed to the pumpkin patch.  10 kids and 10 adults.  The wind was blowing so hard and we all ended up covered in dirt.  I really didn’t get any good pics.

E was able to spend the day with us for the first time in a long time.  We had a great family day and Pop had a great birthday.  Pop- we appreciate all you do for our family and love you very much!
