Month 9 - September


Such a fun month with these girls - including the beginning of our first week long vacation as a family of four.  We also traveled to St. Louis to celebrate Doug's brother's wedding.  Jordan was a fantastic flower girl and a good time was had by all.

Hailey is continues her fun development this month - including beginning to "cruise" on furniture at the end of this month.  She got really great at pulling up this month and learned how to transition back to the floor softly.  I absolutely adore the way she likes to bring something up with her when she stands, a toy, a wipe, anything really.  It's just so funny.

She continues to have such a love for her sister and dog - wanted to be with and grab both of them (usually by the hair).  She is crawling soooo fast this month and probably due to all this activity, is taking two good naps per day and sleeping fairly well at night.  She will eat anything and everything - which is such a pleasant surprise and so much fun.

Jordan had some big milestones this month, too.  Sleeping in her new bed - a beautiful frame that we received from Uncle Gary and Aunt Angie.  Jordan loves her new 'Princess Bed'.  She also started PreSchool this month, two mornings a week, 9-12.  Our orientation day, she got really overwhelmed, but the teachers were so wonderful and made both of us feel comfortable.  On the first day, she sat down in the circle with her friends and never once looked back.

Jordan also started playing soccer this month.  Once again at the beginning of the first game, she was slightly unsure, but she adjusted and had such a fun time playing.  So happy to see her coming out of her shell and becoming more outgoing and confident.

Some of my favorites from this month:

Um, do you think Jordan's a little short?

So much love for Aunt Ashley - isn't this just precious?
