Gianna - 9 months

Gianna has reached another significant age. The last few weeks have not been short on new things for her!

- wears size 4 diapers and 9-12 month clothes
- sleeps about 11-12 hours at night
-takes 2 naps about 1 1/2 hours each


- sitting up very well by herself 
- rides in the shopping cart
-sits in high chairs when we go out to eat


 - more serious when meeting new people
-moved up to her big car seat


- has made a lot of progress towards crawling
- doing push ups on her toes
 - getting up on her knees and rocking
-scooting up a little
- cries if she hits her head or falls


- learned to clap her hands and likes to do it a lot right now


 I trimmed a little of her hair for the first time. It was coming over her ears and the front was getting so thin and almost in her eye.
 This is some of the hair off the front

 - repeats words such as da da, ma ma, amen, love you, yes, kk and more
- eating more table food like pasta, cheese, green beans, pancakes. She likes to eat!


 - likes being in a little pool to splash around in
- doesn't mind it cold or getting in her face
- doesn't want to get out of the bath tub after her bath
 - being more mobile and getting into some of Hudson's toys

She is sitting up in her bed after she wakes up. For some reason, this makes her seem a lot more grown up to me. For so long you go and look over the bed to see her and now she is looking right at me when I go in her room. It is a nice way to be greeted!



 Her 9 month check up went very well. She looked great and didn't have to get shots. She weighs 19 lbs, 2 oz (50-75%) and is 28 1/2 inches (75-90%). Her head is 17 inches (75%).
 Hudson had his 3 year check up as well. He weighs 34 lbs(75%) and is 3' 4" tall (90%). He did so great! Dr. Wood was impressed at the difference he made since Hudson last saw him. He cooperated with everything and was such a big boy. Then, he had to get a shot and he cried a little. He perked right up when the nurse gave him suckers and stickers.

Dr. Wood said they are some of his healthiest patients. So thankful for two healthy kids!

She did a great job! The ballet and pointe dances were so powerful and beautiful this year! I always get teary when I watch and this year was no different.  I volunteered on Sunday for the last showcase I was with a class next to Jules and got to watch some of her dances from back stage.  Gianna and Jules were both in this showcase, so my parents came to watch on Sunday A long weekend for the big girls, but they love doing it

Josh was out there all week since he is a coach  Hudson had shot gun events on Friday and Saturday.  Coach Mr. Donald and team They pray before they start  Kaden made it to state in shotgun This was his first year shooting advanced shot gun and it was tougher, but we are proud of him for trying it.  Hudson finished his driver's ed class. He got a 98 on the driving portion.  We celebrated Josh's 45th birthday at his parent's house. His mom made lasagna.  The beans were an inside joke  I made him Granny Lois' lemon pound cake  We went to lunch for Jamie and Leilynn's birthdays at Building 5 I gave Jamie a kitchen towel with Granny's pound cake recipe. She loves that cake and I have been wanting to make it for her. She loved it and cried. 

February 2025

The girls had dress rehearsal for dance. I went on the Thursday class on the 6th. We got to see a preview of the dances.  Hudson had his first driving session on February 10th. He has to do 8 hours of driving with 2 hours being at night. I waited in the parking lot until he left. We did pretty good waiting while he was gone, but we kept checking Life 360. He said it was fine, I thought he was a little nervous. Afterward, he said it was no big deal. I guess we shouldn't be surprised, since he has been driving off road vehicles since he was young.  We spent Valentine's Day at home and made pizzas.  My birthday was on a Friday and I had work. Josh surprised me with an orchid for my desk.  I had lunch with some of my family at Albashas. Dillon was in town for something else and was able to come to lunch.  We celebrated our 19th anniversary by going to The little Big Cup in Arnaudville.  The food was really good. I had the crab cake and eggplant stack and Josh h...
