This is my favorite. It shows both of their personalities perfectly.

Boston is giving Brighton a hug. She loves her big sister so so much; it melts my heart.

Boston's 9 Month Stats

I finally took Boston in for her 9 month check up last week... Her stats (at 9.5 months) were:

• 18 lbs 7 oz - 45th percentile
• 28 1/2 inches - 75th percentile
• 17 3/4 inch head - 75th percentile

Happy St. Patricks Day!

9 Months

Wow, these months are seriously flying by!

Boston turned 9 months on 2/27. Here are some things about our little Bosties.

She is the complete opposite of Brighton. I always said I had a feeling my next baby would be, and it is almost 100% true. Examples: She takes naps, she pulls things off shelves, she tries to climb out of things, over things, etc., she loves my hair (Brighton was disgusted if it even came near her), she puts everything in her mouth... Just to name a few.

She is sleeping in the same room with Brighton at night now. Brighton surprisingly doesn't wake up for the most part when Boston cries. Bos still is waking up once most nights, but I'm okay with it.

She takes 2, 1 1/2 - 2 hour naps.

She has formula bottles for at least 1/2 of her feedings now, and loves all solids.

Still only 2 teeth (bottom)

She is pro crawler, stander, puller upper, and has even moved along some furniture a bit and will balance for a few seconds.

She loves to take things out of buckets. I give her the basket with our bottles and cans to recycle, and she's happy for at least 30 minutes.

She would much rather putt around and play with toys than watch TV.

She doesn't care for the baby Einstein jumper (another opposite than her sister).

She can clap, wave, and put her arms up for the "throw it in the air" part of Patty Cake (I know it's supposed to be pat-a-cake...)

Her favorite song is wheels on the bus, or anything that Brighton sings to her.

She gets the most excited when she sees Brighton after she wakes up.

She is the craziest baby in the bath. She absolutely loves it, and would stay in it for hours. She's gotten a few bruises on her forehead because she won't sit still (or sit down for that matter) and is constantly falling.

She has the longest, red/blonde eyelashes.



She loves when I put lotion on her. Just hearing the lotion rubbing on my hands gets her giggling.

She has a weird skin issue on her neck that I can't get rid of! I think it's eczema, but nothing is working. I have one more thing to try that was suggested to me, but it may be time for a doctor visit.

Her allergies seem to be better. Not nearly as much snot and congestion. Thank goodness.

She is a mamas girl, and only gives me kisses.

She is the happiest baby, and I just feel so blessed to have another healthy happy baby!

I love you sweet bossy! Thank you for loving me back so much :)

I love accessories

I love hair accessories for my girls, and am loving this headband I picked up from Little Penelope Lane! Boston was lucky enough to be the model for LPL's newest, soon to be, hot seller!

Christmas Happenings

The day after Thanksgiving we had some family pictures taken. Brighton wouldn't give us a smile (unless we were swinging her), but I still love them.

 

I think it was Piper who started the crying, but we all had a little melt down ;)

Next we went with the Peterson's to get our trees.

I thought Brighton would be so excited to help put the ornaments on the tree. Nope. She wanted nothing to do with it.  She thinks it's pretty, but didn't want to do any of the work.

I also decorate the day after Thanksgiving.  It was always tradition growing up. I was so excited when I found this little bottle tucked away. This was my all time favorite Christmas decoration as a kid. It's a little perfume bottle and I love the smell. I remember finding it every year and sneaking "sniffs". My Mom let me take it home last year, and I completely forgot. There's no perfume left, but it still smells so good.

Last week we attended our ward Christmas party.  They did a great job this year, and Santa didn't take too terribly long getting there.

 

Brighton had so much fun running around and dancing.  I dressed the girls in their Christmas PJ's since the party started so close to bedtime. That way they were festive and ready for bed all at the same time :)

Brighton was desperate for this girls attention. I was trying so hard not to laugh, and I bust up every time I watch this.

Then we had a pre-Christmas celebration with Nana and Grandpa.  We thought it would be nice for us to have our own little party before we left for Utah.

And then she went right back to playing with her cars.

All of my Christmas shopping is done. Now onto packing and cleaning before we leave next week!

Thanks Sarah!
