Well I have turned into a littler bit of a slacker in regards to taking pictures of the fun things that we are doing. The only times I remember or have time to take pictures are when we are relaxing around the house or I happen to remember that I do own a camera and to take it with me somewhere lol. Channing has officially mastered holding her own bottle in the car (its been a couple of weeks) so no more of me driving with one hand and holding the bottle in the other..which is good!My parents are gone ALOT and while they are gone we stay in their house so we can take care of colby, the plants, and take advantage of cable and Internet : ) score. The only problem is that we had some baby proofing projects to take care so we now have a ducky that the water comes out of that Channing loves : )Sugar also let her pick out a few toys we picked the ducky to cover the faucet, one bath toy, and one regular toy. The bath toy spins, shoots water, and changes colorsShe hasn't quite made up her mind about it yet ...her regular toy is the elephant that blows balls out of his nose into his ears (i havnt taken a picture of her playing with that yet but its really cute to watch her she knows to push the button to make it work and she will do it for hours)Our babies are so precious I love these two together. Georgi stopped by for a little play time which Chan always loves. We went another day to get frozen yogurt and play at waterfront park and i didnt get pics andddd we went another day shopping for cute halloween outfits and i didnt get pics..Channing wanted to show off her new cowgirls boots that I scored for $4 dollars at a consignment store. They are perfect for her photo shoot that we are planning! yayrandom night time play..The first day of chilly weather came and we were so excited to wear some of our colder clothes that our friends gave us! Mollie gave us this cute little outfit (we went and hung out with them this day and chan had to follow ethan or baylee around constantly and wouldn't leave them alone for one sec it was funny)she is constantly making me smile with her fun personality she loves to play and goof around its SOO cutepracticing climbing the stairs is one of chans favorite activities..hence the baby gates now up : )love this outfit that Mary Jo gave us another colder weather outfit! Yay!We started the morning with a walk with my friend Megan (auntie megan : ) ..and didnt get a pic..lame) and then came back to go the park with daddy! (and colby)sadly yes...this is my typical day..no make up..wet hair.. I think my new year resolution is to actually get dressed and put on makeup 50% of the days! well see how long that lasts...and then we went to the grocery store while daddy went hunting..
"WHAT were buying chicken..ooo yeaa"We went to the Doctor for our 9 months check up! She is now only in the 40% percentile for weight, everytime I take my baby she goes down a percentile from 90% to 75% to 50% and now 40% shes loosing some of her baby fat and growing up ..noooo... : ( We stopped to pick up prescription and do more shopping after...i put her in the car shopping cart for the first time and she LOVED it (for a little while lol) made my shopping trip go way easierHappy 9 month birthday baby girl!!! We celebrated by going to some of her best friends Kylees and Cadanences house.and celebrated some more by eating her favorite tomatoes and clementines!maria found my camera in the diaper bag and took pictures of there adventures while I was at schoolchanning having a picnic hhaahthe next day going to story time at the libraryand the next day going to the poolwere so happy to have maria! Saturday we got up cleaned the church, and went to Channings friend Perrys birthday party! ...and I didn't get a picture..ugg! and then we went over to our friends Julie and Ethans house for a fun hangout night! We miss having our weekly dinners with them : ( but had a blast!
Church came bright and early. It is hard right now because church starts during her nap time so she usually is in a cranky state of mind when church starts and will NOT fall asleep in my arms because there is just to much going on ...so I didnt get any pictures of her at church when she looked so adorabe but snagged one when she got up from her nap after we got homeThat day David and I were watching tv and we looked back and all I could see poking out of the air hockey table was Chans little chunky legs..standing on her tippy toes trying to reach something..it made me smile : )
I will try and get better of taking pictures of more of the things we do!

fall..?

I birthed a little princess. She crosses her legs when she plays, sleeps, eats, and ......really she is never not crossing her legs : ) .So hurricane Irene was supposed to hit us, but it ended up barely passing us. All it caused was a rain storm and an absolutely amazing sunset that night. Pictures do NOT do it justice. When I logged onto facebook the next day everyone had taken pictures and posted them too because the sky was breath taking. We had to go to Trader Jo's because David discovered the New York Cheesecake and we ran out and had to go get some more. Everyone was there buying beer and what not to have a hurricane party...so I guess that was mine and Davids hurricane party substitute cheesecake for beer lol.The next day we celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary (it was in July) but we never had the chance to celebrate. We took Channing to the Children's Museum of the lowcountry.She loved it! After a couple hours of playing we went out to eat since we were in downtown. We split a personal pizza (yes we are still poor) I have to document this because one day we will each be able to get our own personal pizza and maybe even dessert!Princess ate some (this is when she was starting to feed herself)We then went walking downtown..I love seeing baby girl with her daddyMom used to take us to the Pineapple to swim when we were little and this was Chans first time!we made some friendsWe went and swang on the harbour for a whileWe finished the celebration night watching Rio! This is when Channing was really getting the hang and standing by herself for really long stretches (she isnt holding on to anything here) We had a great day celebrating as a family : )Channing only lasts so long at church before we have to go to the back and let her play with some of the toys. Her favorite is her red car that she walks around with."Mom........please do not bother me again"Sunday afternoon we drove up to the deer stands and made sure everything was good, made sure the corn was spitting out, and do some shrub work. Pawpaw let Channing drive..she was sooo excited : )While the men were working Channing was practicing her driving skills. "Get out of my way crazy lady"..she already has road rage haha"everybody buckled in?"....yes... I am a lameo that makes comments to 100 of my daughters pictures...check....deer stand is up and we can see the food plotsChanning helping with some of the hard work..it was soooooooooo hot that there was a haze when we were leaving Dad saw a HUGE rattlesnake and killed it. That sucker was almost as tall as Dad.she is getting pretty sick of me taking pictures of herThis was a different night..her pre dinner snack avocado and tomatoyep..didn't like it and smeared it everywhere and then threw it on the floor..i love living in the ghetto with fully carpeted house to clean up smeared avocado off of ..yay lolwell..I tried to give Channing a pony tail..she looked like the queen of the unicornsyep..pretty much a fail"hey good lookin"this is her pouty faceour nanny..Maria..she is so awesome with Channing. I asked her to only speak Spanish with Channing so Chan could get a good foundation. I got home one day and Maria had written all these songs in spanish that she wants David and I to sing to her.nice face chan.......
we went to play with Georgi..Channing loves her they played on the piano togetherthis is chans favorite toyplayed in Georgis new play tent that her Mom made for her!Then Georgi found my camera and wanted to take pictures of herself with the camerashe has some skill she even got her mama in the picture lolgoofy facethey finished up the playdate with some snacks Baby princess This is one of her favorite things ..eating apples off of the ottoman. She has become so independent it is crazy to me what a couple of weeks does.To practice our spanish we sometimes watch Dora while we wait for Maria to get hereShe picks up a piece of something and then tries to slam it into her mouthShe is constantly letting go of things and standing..wont be long..Mom and I made Grandma LarLars relish..mmmmmmm. It was crazy how many vegtables we had to cut to go into this. 20 green peppers, 20 red peppers, 18 onions, 30 tomattos..i was all choped out for the rest of my lift after this.I had to start working out at Synergy as a physical therapy treatment for my back to stengthen it. They are suppoused to get Chan up by 7:30 so she is ready to go back to sleep at 9:30 and be on schedule for the rest of the day. When I leave David in charge he gets Channing to go back to sleep with him..stinker! They are so cute though..I couldn't resist snapping a picture of them...p.s. you can obviously see we feed channing in the bed when she wakes up throughout the night with her milk stains on our sheets..awesome...We were at my parents house and mom was talking about how in Idaho she is scared of all the wild ranch dogs in the area and they prohibit her form going on walks. We were talking about ways to protect herself so she can still walk and the idea of tasers came up. I rememberd that my friend left one in my purse and so David decided to test it out for me to see if it really worked. I was so ready for him to get a huge shock...and it ended up the batteries didn't work..lame..but I still cant believe that he was going to get shocked! what a man : )We took Chan to the aquariam the next day!she loved it and was obsessed with the fishAfter the Aquariam we went to Daniel Island pool with the family to celebrate Labor Day. I got to talk alot with my aunts and mama which I love because she is out of town so much we don't get to sit and talk alot anymore. After the pool chan napped, woke up,and then we went up to shot the rifle at check out the cameras to see if any deer stoped by the food plots. Channing drove again of course, but she is now more intrested in making the water squirt and window wipers go..that is allllll she does now..Men checking out where they shot (i got closest to the bulls eye .oo yeaaa..)this is the look she gives me when I tell her noI love this picture... she loves her pawpaw so much (and her sugar I just don't have any pictures of that this time)Daddy let her sleep in again when I went to work out.........I had to wake her up..but she was happy to see mama ...i just love this pumpkin so muchgood mornin mama!I let her play nakey to air dry in the morning. We got two new toys this one for 5 dollars a little paino (not cool like her friend georgis) but she loves it so it works...she thinks she is the coolest thing ever when she plays us some music she always looks up and smiles and then clapsThis is her other new toy that she loves she walks all over the house with this thing it is so fun to watch
Thats it for this post...bottoms out..
