Happy 9 months, Pooks!

And a happy month it has been...and big, and eventful, and full of life, and besides your two first teeth, joyful. As I think back over the month I cannot believe all that can happen for a 9 month old in what seemed like a very quick time...

Fully delighting in a good ole' fashioned game of peek-a-boo...

Your first spaghetti night and other solid foods...

Learning to play with friends... (Buddy Caleb and Sweet Madalyn)

A fun visit from Nana...

Moving from sitting to your belly when you see something you want...

Okay, so you are not too crazy about that yet either. But you totally think you are the coolest kid ever when you take those few steps along the couch.

And Buddy, I am so proud of you being so tough when your big sister and big brother decide to include you in one of their "adventures"...sometimes you end up on the bad end of the deal and you still come out gleaming from ear to ear and ready for the next thought they might give you.

Happy 9 Months, Luke!

You are loved.

Yum.

Results of our recent cold cold COLD days...New recipes! Keeps us "winterized", if you know what I mean.

Who knew anything so fabulous could exist outside of the local "Donut Stop" in our small hometown of Canyon, Texas.

Valentine party!!

Go here to see the kids at their first ever Valentine's Day party!! Seems that Nate and his buddy Henry are going to be quite the little wooers of the ladies with their new found talent.

It is official...I have two boys. Yes, yes, I know its been that way for months now but besides jeans and and t-shirts there is not a whole lot that happens differently between boys and girls the first few months of life. But today it happened...

This one...he's determined, that boy.

I mean, yes, Abi and Nate have fussed over toys. But with her, it was never physical.

We knew that #3 would most likely prove to be very, very tough.

...to dance. check. check.

Don't worry, Future Giddens' Women, Big Sis' is making sure they are fully prepared.
