Ethan 9 months!!
Ethan turn 9 months on Tuesday the 13th, He buddy Kai turn 1year on the 14th. We had Ethan's 9 month check and he is doing great! He weighs 22 pounds 2 oz (75%), height 28 inches (43%), and head 18 3/4 inches (96%). I can't believe how fast the time has gone. Ethan is sitting up and rolling almost every where. He really likes his few little trucks, a true boy! Mya and Kalyee are always trying to help him, they are really great big sisters.

October 13th
SOOO the past few months have been so busy, once we feel like we are getting into routine something else comes up.
Kaylee’s first day of school was September 10th. She is busy with school and doing great. She has been getting up early getting herself ready and really turning into suck a big kid. This year she has homework and we have been trying to get into a system to get her homework done along with anything else that might be going on that night. Kaylee attended her first musical play “Marry Poppins” my mom and I took her. It was wonderful; Kaylee had so much fun and really enjoyed it. I think we will be seeing more as they come. Last night we went to look at Halloween costumes and Kaylee decided to be hermione from Harry Potter, she is really into Harry Potter lately, we have only allowed her to watch the first 3 movies, Eric proofed them first.
Mya has had a really busy September. We had her tested for her speech and she qualified for special Ed services. Mya is now attending preschool 4 mornings a week, she rides the big yellow bus and is loving it. We opted to send her there with so many days to hopefully give her that big boost, and then next year she might go to a community based preschool. Mya is also doing gymnastics every Monday night to help with her gross motor skills. As a baby she was a few months behind. She is doing great and loves her tumbling tots.
Ethan is so big, he is 9months old today and tomorrow we will have his well baby check but as of last week he was 23 pounds 14oz with clothes on. He is starting to eat a little more toddler food like the Gerber graduates little crunchies, bitter biscuits and yogurt smoothies. Ethan also is learning to drink from a straw sippy cup, we skipped the different sippy cups and went straight for the straw since learning from Mya that using a straw helps strengthen the muscles in the mouth to help with speaking and forming words. Ethan also got 2 teeth at the end of September; both bottom teeth came in at the same time.
For Eric and I we both have been busy with work. I have been trying to increase my number of daycare kids with little luck and I also have taken on a second job. I am working for Harry Meyering Center in Mankato. I work with people with disabilities in their home. I am really enjoying getting back to work in my field and meeting new people. The house I work at has great staff and a wonderful supervisor. I spent a month getting all my training done. It was hard being gone almost every night at work but now that I am trained in I work Thursday nights and every other weekend. I also spent a well needed and deserved weekend out with my sister in DC, It was short but sweet. Eric has been working hard, some changes and layoffs at work but he has made it through. He is done with softball but is starting pool league soon. Eric’s grandparents came out for a visit; which was really nice to see them. Tragedy struck for my family on October 5th my 6 month old nephew Kaden past away from SIDS, Kaden, Elizabeth (sister in law) and Dawson (6 yr old nephew) moved up to Minnesota a month ago and have been living with my mom and step dad Len, Andy (step brother) is still living in Alabama finishing up work and finalizing the move of all their stuff. It has been really difficult and hard on all my family. We are all trying to stay strong and remember the joy that Kaden brought to all of our lives. With his big eyes, giggle and excitement to see you we will never forget.
