Let 's just skip crawling all together

Hi everyone. Well it has been awhile since I have been on here since I was pregnant.

Mikaela is growing in leaps and bounds. Literally.... Leaps and bounds. She is pulling her self up to standing and trying to just stand up on her own. She started crawling last weekend, but is more interested in trying to walk. Just the other day I heard this loud boom and I thought she had climbed out of her crib, but no... as I ran I up the stairs to her room, she had not. Mikalea, my sweet, sweet adventurous girl. She is leaping up like a little frog to standing position but crashing head first into the side boards of her crib and laughing about it. Silly girl, doesn't know that she isn't stable enough to stand without support yet, but I giver her credit. The poor thing, she has bump her head so many times but has cried less then the number of times she has bumped it.

She weighs 17 lbs and is 27" She has lots of hair getting thicker by the week,,strawberry blonde. You can see theints of red in there. I love it. I just love the color. Granted that is the color of my hair as a little girl. I cannot wait until I can braid it and put it in ponytails. She has two bottom teeth and four top front teeth working their way in. She is refusing to eat solids because her mouth is bugging her. We actually got her a vibrating teether ring and she loves it. She buzzed her self all the way home form Babies R Us. ( That sounds bad LOL)

We are all anxiously awaiting the birth of the newest addition to our family. Michelle and Pete
( Matt's Brother) are due any day. We are all dying to see if it is going to be an Emelia or a Benjamin. I will let you all know as soon I I know

Matt and I are well. I am stying home Until Sept and longer if I can make it work. Matt is great ( so good to us and wonderful Daddy and Husband) So helpful. He is off riding his bike on the rocky trails now that it is nice and puttering around the house. We are trying to make a play room for Mikaela and complete the kitchen addition( That has been on hold since Mikaela's room was in the making). We are getting new couches and rearranging our living. If you have been to our house it is very difficult to rearrange furniture because every freaking wall have a door or window. Anyhoo that's us in a nut shell

Here are a few pic if Mikaela being her adventurous self 9 MONTHS wow time flys
