11 months

I cannot believe we will be taking her 1 year pictures in less than a month. Go here to see my girl and her grandmas.

10 month pictures

It's hard to believe we've only got two more months of photos. Then Lennon will be 1. Amazing. Go here to see her 10 month photos and the updated slide show.

Because I don't have enough to do

Another one is on the way. I decided it would be fun to be pregnant from 2009-2011. Sounds perfectly logical, doesn't it? I always said I would like to have kids close together, so I got my wish! I am hoping it's another girl, so it's probably a boy. Which wouldn't be so bad either. I kind of thought we had decided 2 kids was a good number, and the other day Kenny said that if we have another girl, he would like to try for one more, to maybe have a boy. Uh, what? Yeah. Let's see how this one goes first.

Kenny and I are super excited and Lennon is, of course, clueless. My due date is march 30th.

9 months old!

Here is Carly's blog post with Lennon's 9 month pictures. So cute.

Where are all the manners?

We went out to dinner tonight with some friends. They go to this place often, so they know a lot of the people that work there. The owner's mother (I believe) came over to our table and started to talk to Lennon. She was rubbing her cheek with her hand. Does anyone else find this incredibly disgusting or is it just me? I don't really want strangers touching my baby, and especially not on her face. A bit later she came back with a carrot. A raw carrot. She tried to hand it straight to Lennon and I intercepted it right at the last second. No thanks, lady. I am going to go ahead and say no to the choking hazard. Thanks. Then she decided she wanted to hold her, so she picked her up and walked around with her. The woman asked me her name and then turned to Lennon and said (in a baby voice), "WOW. Why would your mommy give you that name? You don't like it, do you? Nooooo." I could care less if people don't like her name, but is it really necessary to insult it two seconds after being introduced to her?

I totally expected people to be inappropriate when I had kids. I see it all the time with my friends. But, it still amazes me when it actually happens.

Wiggle worm

Today Lennon turns 8 months old. She has become so much fun. I am not saying I hated when she was a tiny sack of potatoes, but I do have to say that I like this stage so much better. When they are developing their little personalities and figuring out how to do new things every day. It's great to watch. She has always been a strong, active baby. Ready to run since the day she was born. I walked into her room yesterday to get her up from her nap and saw this (above). The only problem is, she hasn't figured out how to get back down yet. Our other challenge is changing her diaper. Holy Lord. I have to pin her down with my left arm and try to change her before she wriggles out-and she does! Extra speed is needed when it's a poop diaper. My arms look fantastic, great muscle tone. Carrying around a 20 lb baby will do that to a girl, I guess. I just wish I could carry her with my ass. Tone that shiz up.

8 months old

We had a pool party for Lennon's 8 month pictures. Go here to see them-enjoy!

Peas? Gross!

I'm sure babies do it all the time, but I thought it was hilarious that peas make Lennon cringe. I've seen babies gag on new foods, but never shiver with disgust.

Sidenote: Her face is not usually this messy. I do, in fact, know where her mouth is.
