9 Months


I have sooo much catching up to do, it will probably never happen . . . but at least we are having fun.

We have had a whirlwind of a July, already, and there are still two weeks to do. Summer is sooo fun, tin foil dinners in the canyon, LOTS of swimming, park days, the zoo, BBQs and more.


For the 4th, we went to Provo for the BIG parade. It was sooo crowded, but very fun. Family and friends got to the parade so early and were kind to save seats for us all. My favorite float was ??, but there were 50 people decked out in REAL Star War costumes, each one holding a different state's flag, it was sooo cool. 
Alexia waiting for the fireworks to start at Sugar House Park, Salt Lake City.
We enjoyed lunch at Cafe Rio's, headed home, took naps, played in the water at our home, watched the Peru/Uruguay game in the early evening, before heading to Sugar House Park at night. It was fun! We took a picnic dinner, had purchased glow sticks at the dollar store in advance and headed out. I LOVE fireworks and combined with a great summer night = life can't get any better.

July 4th was also Lexi's 9-month-celebration (can't believe it!)
Her well child-stat's made me a bit nervous . .

Height: 94%
Weight: 14% (This is the one that makes me nervous, she doesn't look skinny, but we need to get some more meat on that tall slender cute body of hers!)

And then my mom or a neighbor added the comment, "and 100% eyelashes." It's true, she has super-duper long eyelashes!
We had one dollar in cash between Erick and I to score Jacob a popcicle at Sugar House Park

Jacob, Sallee, Claire and I also bought the Old Navy 4th of July shirts this year. Sallee and I have the grey one like yours and Claire's is red.

Fun summer times! I know exactly what you mean about being nervous about ht/wt for baby. A is the same way... > 90th% for height but below the curve for wt. It makes me worry so much... She's just not a big eater. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
