Our little Fox at 9 Months

Lawson turned 9 Months on Jan 2nd! Below are some pics, stats, and milestones!

Weight: 22 lbs (84%)

Height: 30" (96%)

HC: 18" (69%)



Lawson biggest milestone is he is walking by pushing our dinning room chairs around like a walker. They go slower then the walking toys which is perfect for him.

Lawson still sleeps like a trooper (10-11hrs)

Lawson is just transitioning from 4 to 3 bottles a day. He also eats regular food 3-4 times a day.

Lawson still only has the two lower teeth but his top ones are very close to coming.

Lawson recognizes his name but we are still working on the waving bye-bye.

Lawson loves to wrestle around, drool on anyone, and even occasionally bites at your legs and feet :)

Lawson has the cutest hair color...it is reddish, brown, blonde all depending on the light. I tend to dress him in orange to bring out the color. Even the librarian commented on his cute hair color :)

Lawson is just a sweetheart and we can't wait to see what other changes and things he learns!

Top Ten of 2013

With the start of 2014, I wanted to document our families Top Ten of 2013. These are a combination of changes for the family and things we are thankful for.

1. Lawson being born into our family (April 2nd)

2. Our health, especially the kids, so thankful I have healthy kids!

3. Sold our house in Polk City

4. The feeling/realization of our family being complete now that we have little Lawson (no more kids:)

5. I got a new more flexible job in September (almost 8 yrs w/ Nationwide)

6. Mitch started a new job with Sears late Aug

7. Moved to Ankeny into a rental townhouse

8.  Became van owners...never thought that day would come!

9. Adrian's: "Thankful for everything (friends, family, God, clouds, teachers, Grandma, Grandpa, Nick, Tony, Joe, princesses, my brother, Dad, letters)"

10. Lawson's (this is my guess): Bottles, kisses, big sister, comfy pants, a soft crib sheet, mom and dad who have unconditional love, bathtime, daycare toys & friends.

Below are various picture from my cell phone from fall/winter:

 The weather was perfect for sledding, however I found out that Lawson does not enjoy being out in the snow.
