10 months

This is one of Wranglers funny faces he makes! Were he sniffs and snorts out of his nose. He thinks he is pretty funny!

Wrangler is now 10 months! Can you believe that? Crazy how fast time flies. Well he has turned into quite the ham, every where we go he is captivating everyones attention. Some of his new tricks are unrolling the toilet paper, pulling out all the pots and pans and opening every cupboard in the house. His newest thing is pointing at everything. He also has a deep love for Micheal Jackson music, he loves to boop up and down to it. Now when ever we say hi or bye he automatically waves. He is now brave enough to stand up in the middle of the floor on his own. And he loves to climb up on things, even chairs which scars me a ton. Still no actual teeth but he sure bits on his hands and fingers all the time. This month he also had RSV which was no fun for anyone. Luckly we got him the help he need as fast as we could. He also says Momma alot but mostly if he is upset or hurt. He still says dadda when he feels like it too. He has begun this grueling thing and does it all the time, its pretty fun. So far we have found one food he is not so found of tomatoes and more food he loves, kiwi, strawberry's, gold fish crackers, Jello and kix cereal. He now weighs 19lbs and is wearing size 9-12 month cloths. I am not so sure I want my little man to grow up, but he is and we have loved every minute of it!!!

HOME

Last night was mutual. We had great fun. I took home five kids. On the way to 3 of the kids home, we had to stop by my house so I could get my debit card to get gas with, I was driving on fumes. We pulled up in the drive way and the three siblings shrieked at how BIG our house was! "Wow your house is huge!" they said. If you have been to our house you know its pretty small, well actually there is no pretty, it is SMALL. The actual living space is just a little over 900 square feet which translates in to two bedrooms one bathroom, kitchen, dinning room, and living room. (we also have half a scary movie basement) As I was contemplating the excitement over our huge house I realized for the first time since living in our home, they were right! Our house is huge! Now maybe its not huge by your judgments but I know there are many people who have less, and who have none. This said family lives in a place about the size of our front room. So today I am super thankful to have a place called home, even if we sometimes have to fight over time in the bathroom! And even if we are currently trying to figure out how to get out of our home. (you know how the market turned, yeah we owe more on our home then it is worth now, that just sucks! so we are trying to figure out our best option on getting out of it, its looking more and more like we will short sale. Who knows will see) Home is were your heart is! And I am thankful for Home. Dont you love "going" home even as an adult my parents and in-laws houses always feel like home, even if they arent the houses we grow up in. Its all about the people and the surroundings. So today just be thankful, you have places to call home. I AM!

9 months

(being silly with dad)
On February 22 Wrangler turned 9months. He now weighs 19lbs 6oz and I am not sure what his height is. But the doctor said his is growing and good and healthy. He is wearing 9-12month clothing and size 3 shoes. Still no teeth but we see them come up to the surface on occasion, at least his canines. He still loves to eat everything, seriously! He now claps and is trying to stand on his own. He has also started that super sonic crawling were you put him down and walk across the house and turn around and his right there! He is into everything and has decided he will climb literally everything to get to what he wants. He also knows the meaning to the word bottle and will say "ba ba" and really wants that bottle now. I am afraid he got his lack of patience form me... He also likes to gurgle and click his tongue. He is entering into the stranger danger zone, but I don't think it will get to bad because he is such a little flirt! Anyways its been an amazing 9months and we cant wait for the next 9 months.
