Happy 10 months!
Another quick month has passed and Kelsey is now 10months old!!! I hope to get her weighed and check her length here in the next few days...The biggest news of the month is that she has started walking(sadly) assisted...She started pushing the lego tupperware around the house this morning actually!! Its so exciting but so sad to me at the same time...My little baby girl is growing so quickly!
Here are some pictures and a video:)

Landscaping
We've finally begun to work on our landscaping around the house...We've had some bushes and shrubs and even a few tulips for a few years now...but we just finally agreed upon a plan and what we want to do!
Menards had rose bushes on sale so I bought 2-orange and red. Zach loved helping me dig and playing in the dirt.
We bought some black fabric stuff to put down and kill all the weeds and then will hopefully soon have lots of stones to put down over top. Eric does not want anything to do with mulch-so the stone will make him very happy! We are excited about how nice its all going to look once we are done!
Next on our list for when we return from CO is to get the swingset up! We've had it in pieces sitting in the van...Just too many other things going on...Zach has been asking almost daily when will his swingset be ready?!
And here are some pictures of the rose bushes, fabric and Zach helping daddy with the edging...

kiddo's
Here are some recent pictures of the kids...
They love watching the squirrels and birds...and just generally getting my glass doors dirty:)
In this picture Zach was pretending this was his pirate boat....He and Kelsey were the pirates..and they were running away from the crocodiles:)
Zach said he was going upstairs to play....This is what Eric found when he went up there! He is OBSESSED with anything fishing lately!
Easter morning
The Easter Bunny brought a fishing pole to Grammy and Grampy's house...Here he is trying it out!
relaxing in his room:)

9 months old
I can't believe its been 9 months already since Kelsey has joined our family! Its gone so quickly!
At her Dr's appt Kelsey weighed 16lbs 10 oz and was 26.25in long. She's a bit on the small side, but we like her just the way she is:)
She's wearing mostly 6-9month clothes....Some of her 6month clothes are getting too small, but her 9month stuff is just a bit too big yet....It also doesn't help that the weather is always changing....One day she needs long sleeves, the next short sleeves...and even a few weeks ago she had on shorts and a t shirt!
She sleeps through the night but will wake up needing to be settled every once in a while. She goes to bed about 830/9pm and wakes up about the same time in the morning. She takes a nice nap in the afternoon usually 130pm and is down for about 2hrs. Both of my kids are big on sleep!
Kelsey still nurses quite often and it doesn't bother me one bit! I actually enjoy the cuddle time with her:) She is also eating puffs and cheerios...She also is eating most veggies and fruits..I gave her a bit of our roast from dinner the other night and she seemed to like that too! Hopefully she won't be as pick of an eater as her brother!
We are working on her signs...She knows milk and i think also more....She can wave bye bye..and says dadda and momma...She even said nana the other night;)
She truly is a delight and i am so thankful for her everyday!! She has the most pleasant personality and is generally a happy baby. She's really turned into a daddy's girl lately! As soon as she hears Eric putting his keys in the door to come into the house she crawls super fast over to the door...and whines until he picks her up....then she gives him a really nice hug and grin! It just melts my heart!! She also loves when her brother plays nicely with her....She just giggles and giggles at him! They love taking baths together...

Dentist
I am such a proud and happy mommy right now that i just had to come here and brag!
Zachary went to the dentist with me this morning. He took some books and a few cars to keep him entertained while i got my teeth cleaned. The hygentist is my age and we actually were in dance class together a long time ago. We both have 2 kids and a lot in common so its always fun for me to go see her and catch up on things:) Zach sat in a chair and watched while i went first. I went into this appt with no expectations as i wasn't sure how he would react to having a stranger messing around with his mouth. He proved me so wrong!
When it was his turn he hopped right up into the chair and was thrilled to see it laid back and then would come back up again too...He opened his mouth right up and let Misti check and count all 20(almost 22)! He didn't like the bright light shining in his eyes so we turned that off...He was doing so good we asked if he wanted to have the funny toothbrush clean his teeth....He chose grape toothpaste and away she went...He thought it was the funniest thing to have water squirted into his mouth and then the sucker suck it out....He wanted to do that over and over again:) When it was all done he picked out a Shrek toothbrush and even picked out a Winnie Pooh brush for Kelsey...He's so sweet!
Dr. Heater said the only thing we need to work on is getting rid of binky...Zach really doesn't have any issues, but he mentioned that the longer we keep it then problems could happen....So we will work on getting rid of binky in the near future as it had been in our plans anyways...
On the way home in the car Zach asked if we were going to the dentist the next day(tomorrow)! haha:) So i had to explain that even though the dentist is fun we only go 2x a year....
I'm so thankful this was a great experience for all of us!!

76 Trombones....
There is always something fun happening at Grammy and Grampy's house....While Amy was home Eric got out his trombone at Zach's prompting...We all laughed so hard! Zach blew till he couldn't blow anymore..He had a red circle all around his lips:) Here is some of the fun!
Amy's Baby Shower
Amy came home for a few days at the end of February and Mary and I threw her a really nice baby shower. We had so much fun with the planning, shopping, cleaning and decorating...oh and baking too! Here are some pics from the shower...
There was lots of yummy food....sandwiches with lunch meats and cheeses...a relish and fruit tray and plenty of yummy desserts!
We played a few games too...This one in particular was melted candy bars in diapers...we passed them around and had to guess which candy bar it was! Too funny:)
Sisters picture:)
The part planners and the guest(s) of honor!
I made a diaper cake for Amy too! I'd never made one before and was nervous about doing it since we all know how creative/artistic i am....but it was actually really easy to make and was also lots of fun! I was quite proud of myself...Zach even said "good job mommy i so happy for you!"
