Polo at the Point

Last weekend we went to Polo at the Point in Fairhope. It's a fundraiser for Mercy Medical Center and this year Dream Ranch sponsored a tent. It was fun!

Hays with Nana

This is a picture of the barn. No, seriously, a barn that horses are kept in!!!! So fancy!

Hunter and Hays did GREAT on the way down! They stuck to their exact schedule even in the car, which was amazing! I set up Will's laptop to watch a little Praise Baby before naptime.

We changed diapers in the front seats...

A few weekends ago, I went on my second girls trip! This time we made it a 2-night trip which was so much better :) We ate great food, shopped A-LOT, laid in the sun, laughed, and talked. It was a wonderful weekend with great friends!! Thanks Da Da and Nana for holding down the fort!

9 Months

Hunter and Hays are 9 months old now! I really can't believe how much they are doing now!
Their stats are...
Hays:
14 lb. 8 oz.=3% (moving on up from the 1st percentile to the 3rd!!)
27 in.= 19%

Hunter:
17 lb. 10 oz.=7%
27 in.=19%

Here is what they are doing...
Hunter:
Crawling (real crawl, not army)
Pulling up
Eating finger foods(bananas, cheerios, cheese)
Saying Da da, Ba ba
Has 2 teeth
Sucks 2 of his fingers

Hays:
Crawling(went straight to the real crawl)
Pulling up
Standing up holding on if I put him there
Eating finger foods(bananas, cheerios, cheese)
Saying Da da, Ga ga
Has 2 teeth
Loves his paci at naptime/bedtime

Their schedule now is:
Wake up between 6:00-7:00, but always play until 7:00
7:00- nurse
breakfast(oatmeal with fruit, banana)
8:45- nap(usually until about 10:00, but has been until 11:00 a few days)
11:00- bottle
lunch(fruit, vegetable, cheese, cheerios)
12:30- nap(usually until 2:00 or 2:30, but has been longer some days)
3:00- bottle
4:30- catnap(usually until 5:30, but sometimes have to wake them up)
6:00- bottle and supper(oatmeal with fruit, vegetable, finger food)
7:00- Bed time!
(no more "dream feed"! They sleep until the morning!)

Hunter sometimes has trouble with the late afternoon catnap. Most of the time I just sneak in there and get him up, but yesterday I knew he needed to sleep. So, I put him in the swing in my closet and this is how I found him 45 mins. later. Precious!!! Too bad I had to wake him up for church!

Proof that my Haysie is crawling!!

He was so different than Hunter...I would get down in front of him on the floor and encourage him to come. He would get up on all fours, lift his hand up, then put it back down. Finally, he went for it!! He's gotten really good at it the last few days.
