Pure Joy

The love and joy between baby and great grandparents...

...is a beautiful thing.

Linnea's September

Cream cheese mustaches, because she loves to eat bagels and cream cheese.

Baby lizards in the laundry.

Backwards bathing suits.

Linnea loves to dress herself and the outfits can be very interesting. Bathing suits were a common outfit as we started counting down for our beach trip that was coming up the first week in October. Linnea loves New Testament Bible stories right now and has memorized lots of them. She informed me one day that "Benjamin needs to be healed because he is dying" That was due in part to her wanting the story of Jairus' daughter being read over and over and over again. She has us read Bible stories over and over again until she has them memorized, her memorization skills are crazy! Another favorite thing she liked to tell us over and over again was that she was "running out of Egypt" presumably to get away from Pharoh . After Linnea's grandpa read "Are You My Mother" to her several times when he visited, she started telling me "You are my mother and you are a bird" and "I am your baby bird and you are my mother." There usually is lots of chirping involved!

Benjamin's September

This guy has no interest in crawling, he'd rather relax with daddy or master the art of crusing from object to object. He loves cheerios and crackers and we discovered that he loves animal crackers. He helped himself to all of the animal crackers in his sister's lunch box without his daddy being aware of it!

For his 9 month birthday he had a tooth come through and 2 days later another joined it. By the end of September his little teeth were really starting to show and he discovered that if he grabbed on of the little stools he could use it as a walker and move across the dining room the the laundry. He is a happy little ham.

First Balloon

Benjamin was given his first balloon at the grocery store and he was thrilled!

Up To Something

These two little angels snuck away at a party and had fun turning on the Terry's bathtub. Linnea and Emma are a dynamic little duo.

Big Baby in a Little Stroller

They both have way too much fun with the doll stroller. Don't know if it is designed to hold a 20 pound plus chunk!

Meeting Kristina

Steph's cousin Kristina visited over Labor Day weekend and Linnea and Benjamin enjoyed getting to meet her for the first time.
