Lucy 9 months

Lucy was 9 months on the 19th...and the only recent picture of her includes her siblings...but she is the 4th child so we get credit for even making note of this milestone right??

At 9 months Lucy:

weights 18 lb. 6 oz. 50%
27 inches 50%
head 75%

-is army crawling like crazy and is starting to get up on her hands and knees,

-and is so cute we can't get enough of her.

I love this age, they are still cute and baby like...but sleep through the night and don't have to be fed all the time :)

Ryan rides a bike

Hurray for Ryan!  And Hurray for Spencer for successfully teaching our first kid how to ride a bike.  It was a lot of running for Spencer, but Ryan got it after about 5 bike riding sessions.  

p.s.  If you are wondering what the deal is with our neighbors wacky paint job on half their trim...don't even get me started.  

socks

Andrew came down after rest time with 3 pairs of socks on.  "Now my feet will be warm" he said.  Andrew, don't you know it's 100 degrees outside??!!!

4th of july

Our ward has a breakfast and kid bike parade every year.  We've been out of town the last 2 years so it was great to be there for it.

That night we BBQ'd with friends, watched fireworks, and had fun.  Mabel is always up for face painting.
