Another baby

So joe and I have been thinking about another baby. It's hard to think to much of it since we are so happy with david. Also I am finally happy with my body once again which is really saying a lot. I hit my all time high before getting pregnant with david. I'm sad to say I tripped the scale at 200 pounds. It was not a great time between gaining weight with my first pregnancy and the depression that followed the lost of that pregnancy. So the fear of history repeating it self is always there. But I do love being a mom. So I want to know who reads these things when I don't post on facebook that I made a new post. So if you are reading this I want you to lleave a comment with words of love and encouragement.love you all.

The start to walking

So on October 11th David made his first attempt to stand. It wasn't successful, but a try indeed! It was at my friend Stephanie's house in the middle of her living room! I couldn't believe what I was seeing! So that was 6 days after he turned 9 months. So I thought walking would happen before 10 months, well it hasn't quite yet.

He then did actually stand on November 1st while at the base gym. I couldn't believe it! I wish I was able to go and run and pick him up and hug him when he did it, but I was on a tread mill! He then took 3 consecutive steps on November 7th. I'm not sure when he did take that first step because how he did it he just looked like he stumbled but looking back it was a step. I would say it was just around where he stood up in full that first time.

Now fast forward to now David will take 2 to 3 steps fall down and then stand up again and take another couple steps and he will do that either till he gets sick of it or till he gets to whatever he was trying to get to. It's so cute that we can get him to walk from me to Joe and Joe to me. :) He just gets so excited to do it! I'm super excited for him to finally get it.

Also on a side note I get to see my family next week for Thanksgiving! Some of which I haven't seen for 3 years or so! I'm super excited and hope the drive goes well.

9 months of Love

Dear David,
You have just turned 9 months and cannot believe how different you have become! The last 9 months have been filled with fear, hope, tears, joy, laughs, and so much more. Every day you bring joy to my heart and a smile to my face. Hearing you laugh is like hearing an angel sing. When you do something new it's just crazy to wonder how you had learned it. I just love watching you and playing with you and just being near you. You make me so happy!
You are doing so much now. You started to climb! So far only onto a foot rest (which you fell off of) and a small box. So hopefully you stay low to the ground for a long time! You can pull yourself into a standing position with just a little boost from a leg. You have been eating some real food. You seem to really like banana. But you will at least try everything before spitting it out onto yourself. You also love love love to eat paper! Which is not so much fun for me, since then I have to fish it out of your mouth! You crawl every where! You love opening the kitchen cabinets. You also love to pull all the movies down off the shelves daily.
You also cruse along the couch. Though for the most part you are still pretty content standing in one point and patting the couch. You also lifted your feet off the ground while holding onto the table yesterday! Can you say crazy! You are so strong. You are bigger than all our friends babies. When people guess your age they guess any where from 12 to 19 months! You have been in 18 months clothes since around 6 months or so. I think by a year you'll be in 24 months.
So you have 6 teeth now! 4 of which you got last month. The first one being 2 days before Labor Day. The next one was about 4 days after that. Then you got the next two a week or so after that point. So lets just say that month were not the greatest month for you. Also you had two colds last month! So you were sick and teething like all month long! Poor little you. Hopefully you will be done with teeth for a little bit now.
You still don't sleep through the night, but we are working on it. Your up about every 4 hours. Which some nights are ok, but some nights simply kills me. But I do love the extra cuddles. You have your cuddly times and I love it! Sometimes you just want to be exploring! You love to follow me around while I'm cleaning. You love throwing freshly folded laundry which is funny and sad at the same time. You also love sitting in the grass outside. Though you love to sit there and pull out grass and eat it. Though your starting to enjoy the outside more besides than just the grass.
We have been having a lot of play dates lately and you seem to enjoy it. You seem to like to play with all the toys and all the girls seem to like to follow you around since you are always the only boy. All the moms think you are cute also with you blond hair and blue eyes. You also get compliments on your cute ears a lot! You enjoy the bike ride to and from the play dates since we don't have a car while daddy is at work.
You seem to enjoy talking a lot, which is mostly like a small scream/grunt. You seem to do it a lot in the tub. Mostly screaming at your bath toys. Also you like exploring your body which is funny because you scream when you do that too!
David I just love you so and simply ask you to keep doing what you are doing! Keep growing, smiling, laughing, and being cute!

So the first 3 videos are from 8 months, but don't really know where the last video is from. Sorry it's side ways, not even sure why I would film it side ways and know think I can fix it. So I found another side ways video, so while your head is still off to the side you should enjoy both of theses. :)

Oklahoma State Fair

So we went to the state fair for the first time this year. Yesterday was the free day for military. So we went ate a deep fried corn dog with chocolate sauce and sprinkles on top. Which was super weird. Also had a funnelle cake. Which was ubber yum. We then just walked around. We watched ducks race, saw baby chicks and even watch one hatch. Well not hatch all the way but it was funny because the other chicks were pecking at the one in the eggs feet. We also saw goats and cows. You know how grown men ride bulls? Well we watched little kids ride sheep. It was super cute! It was such a nice day to just walk and see. Hopefully we make it again next year.

David 8 months of joy.

So David loves to pull himself up on anything that will support his weight. He likes the garbage can a lot though that cannot support his weight most of the time. So we keep that in the laundry room now. He really likes being in the fridge. As the picture shows he likes chewing on the bottles he can reach. We have had about 3 sweat shirt days in the last week. Something about David in a sweat shirt is so cute to me. David can stand/support his own weight for a little bit. He can let go of whatever he used to pull himself up and leg go and stand. It's so exciting.

David helps with laundry

David and hanging out in the laundry room. He likes watching the washer and dryer run. We also have a pantry in our laundry room he likes to explore. He has 4 teeth now.

David Stood today!

I didn't have a camera handy because I was on the floor with David, but he stood today! He has stood for like a second or less a few times, but today it was probably close to a solid 5 seconds! It was awesome! I cannot believe how fast all this is going. He's getting so big so fast. I think his 4th tooth will be out in the next couple weeks or less. You can see it looking so close! Today David started being able to click his top tooth with his bottom ones.
We all went to Captain America on base tonight. David was a trooper and slept through a good chunk of the 2 hour movie. It's a really good movie if you get a chance to see it.
