Fall is here...

and so are the sniffles and runny noses around our house! It has been a rainy and chilly week here, so we had lots of time to play inside and do some crafts. Joseph had his nine month doctor appointment on Monday (10/20/08). He got his first of two flu shots and I think his last Hep. B vaccine....and we also snuck in a flu shot for Miss Sophia. We decided it was best to not tell her in advance....she would just worry, worry about it. So, though it wasn't a pleasant surprise for her... I think she handled it fairly well!

Here are Joseph's nine month stats!
He is now:
18 pounds 0.5 ounces; 27 1/2 inches in length; and his head circumference is 17.36 inches
(10 % for weight) (20 % for height) (14% for head circumference)

He is such a happy little guy...even at the doctor's office! He LOVES to play with the paper on the table! Thank goodness daddy could be there for at least part of this visit b/c I could barely keep him on the table.... this little guy is a MOVER! Here are some pics of the day:




Ironically, both of the kids caught colds a few days after the flu shot...hmmm... and poor Joseph is still having a time with his four top teeth! We had many sleepless nights this week. And the rain made for perfect stay at home, chicken noodle soup days! I snapped some pictures of our "sick day". ( I wish I could look that cute when I don't feel good!!!) We did lots of painting and playing...AND Sophia had a ball trying on her new jayhawk costume! Can you guess who bought it for her???????? Thanks Pappou!
