Joni is nine months

Yesterday I took Evan and Joni for their physicals. I was glad that Evan still got to go to his physical since earlier in the week he was diagnosed with croup. I have no idea where he got that, but thankfully it was a mild case. He was on steroids for three days, which did not affect his behavior, thank god. He still has a cough every once in a while, but nothing like it was. Evan is still in the 50 percentile for 5 years old, which is fine since he has always been. He did lose some weight, but I know that is from his sickness over Christmas. He is 43 inches tall and weighs 40 pounds.

Joni had a major growth spurt between six months and nine months. She is now 28 1/2 inches long and weighs 19 1/2 pounds. So she is in between 70-80 percentile. She is working on her first two teeth, which is not fun for her or mommy. She has been quite fussy and not sleeping as well, but I know that comes with the territory. She is rolling all over the place, when she thinks of it, sometimes I have to remind her she can do that. I am not sure if she is going to crawl or not, she gets up on her hands, but not her knees, she does rock back in forth. I think she might just start walking, she is already pulling up when she holds my hands.

Joni

Joni is finally getting teeth. I noticed her first tooth the evening of Evan's birthday party. It was kinda funny because we had just been talking about how she still didn't have teeth and she is almost 9 months old. That evening she was sitting on the floor, fussing, so I went to pick her up and saw a white speck in her mouth - her first tooth. Now today we sat down for dinner and I noticed another small white spec - her second tooth.

Evan's 5th Birthday

I can't believe that my baby is 5 years old now. We had his Monster themed party today. It went off without a hitch. It seemed that everyone had a good time, except for a couple of moments from the birthday boy.
