Loganne, 9 months

I can't believe our little girl will be 9 months old in less than a week! She is growing SO fast which is VERY bittersweet for Chris and I. We want her to be big and do more, but we want her to stay little too. Well here are a few things she's doing now, oh, and some pics too since I know that's why you're here! :)

• Weigh 18.6 pounds and is 28 inches long
• Has her two bottom teeth ( and the top two aren't far off!)
• Pulls herself to standing
• Walks assisted, sometimes with only one hand
• Cruises on the furniture
• Waves 'hi' and 'bye'
• Reaches for us when she wants us
• Has started wanting to share her food with us
• Loves to eat 'real' food, then throws a fit if she can't have it
• Gets into anything she can get her little hands on!
• Knows when we tell her 'no'

That's about it I think. Oh, and she loves the Wiggles and Blues Clues...UGH! Could it be two more ANNOYING shows? Haha. Oh well. She doesn't watch much t.v. so I guess I can handle it for an hour, but still! Ok, ok. Here's the pics!

More Lincoln City

These pics are from Katy Moes. She has a wonderful camera that takes amazing shots! Thankfully she was with us since our cameras batteries died after 10 minutes of being there ;(

Loving this shot!

I love this one because it actually LOOKS like I'm skimming! About 0.5 seconds later I was eating sand! Haha

Swinging

Loganne got to swing for the first time, we think she enjoyed it! There's a video but I can't get it to upload, so here's a few pics.

Pickley pickled spicy dill pickles!

Chris has been talking about canning our own pickles for a long time now. When I was at Lone Pine on Saturday they had the 10 pound bags of pickling cucs so I picked some up along with a bunch of fresh dill. Home I came and today was the day. This is BY FAR the home-iest home-maker thing I've done to date. It was really quite fun and pretty easy, just time intensive. Here's my journey through the pickle process.

At first I thought two of the jars hadn't sealed, but now looking at them after they've sat a few hours makes me more confident that I was 100% successful! Now for the 2 week waiting period for them to absorb all the garlic-pepper-chile-dill goodness!

Sticky Rice!

So Loganne tried rice for the first time today at lunch and liked it,  so I brought leftovers home with me. this is our DINNER experience with the rice. Haha! She was SO funny because it was so sticky on her hands she kept trying to fling it off.

Loganne and the Lone Pine Goats

My mom, Loganne and I drove out to Lone Pine on Saturday for some fresh,yummy produce. I bought pickling cucumbers to try my hand at pickle-making, but more on that later! Of course we had to take Loganne out back to meet the goats for the first time. She loved it and thought it was so funny when they poked their heads through the fence at her!
