10 Months

This handsome little guy is 10 months old!!!  He gives great kisses, pushes a diaper box around the house and either sings or clicks his tongue while doing it, had a growth spurt and ate 5 ounce bottles, pushes the stroller around the house, our friend Kimala let us borrow a walker and he LOVES to push that around, He eats corn, spaghetti, bananas, applesauce, peaches, vienna sausages, toast with butter, green beans, oranges, LOVES icecream, banana bread, cookies, cheese, hot dogs, hard boiled eggs, and meatloaf.  He desperately needs another hair cut.  Gage loves to go outside and we can't wait for the grass to get green so we can play on the grass.

 Smile for the camera!

Sick with RSV

Poor Gage got RSV and I didn't even know it.  He started a fever late in the evening and we were able to control it with meds but it lasted for a week.  Kyle finally talked me into going to the doctor and they suctioned out his lungs and it came back positive for RSV.  He was doing good enough that he didn't need to be hospitalized but we needed to keep him home.  We were able to get his fever down every day but during the night it always came back.  Gage's babysitter took great care of him during the day too.  Kyle and I took turns staying home taking care of him and he made a full recovery.  Poor kid just slept and he lost a pound because he didn't eat much.

9 Months

I honestly can't believe how fast time is going.  If only it went this fast when I was pregnant.  A few of Gage's milestones are He stands unassisted, is now eating solid foods, at the moment boycotting his bottles and naps, says dada but mostly when he is mad and babbling =), likes to scream and get a reaction back, likes to throw his toys down the stairs (so we bought a gate), and pulls himself up to everything and walks.  He also shakes his head and waves his finger no when you say no or yes.  He had his 3rd hair cut.

 Discovered the doggy door and got caught playing with it =)

 Isn't he so handsome!!!!

Good Looking Family

Back in November we had our family picture taken by Sharli Fitzgerald.  We had them done on my parents property.  I have to say they turned out great and we are a good looking group!  You would never guess it was pretty cold =)

My family!  I was so excited to finally have a family picture done since the only one we have is from our wedding day.  Gage did pretty well at looking at the camera for only being 6 months old.  He was a trooper and didn't even cry.

 This last picture of Gage is my favorite!  He was pretty interested in his surroundings.
