9 Months old

Bennett turned 9 months old sept. 1. his nine month stats are:
weight 19 lbs 13 oz and was 28 inches long.
Bennett is so happy and is still what we like to call "swimming" he does crawl normal but only to get over things and in the grass. He started pulling himself up the beginning of August. This picture is one of the first times he pulled himself up in his crib. We put his bed down but I guess we should have done it sooner. he did pull himself up and over the edge of the crib once. his bed is now down. I have caught him a few times climbing up the bar of his bed. He cant do that if he has sock on or his feet are covered. He has the sweatiest little feet. I like to call him our little tree frog. He has a good grip too. If he ever gets a hold of something he HOLDS ON for dear life.
He started eating table food and LOVES it. He prefers to feed himself. So I just put things on his tray or if I feed him with a spoon I have to get the food on it, and he likes to put it in his mouth.
He really wants to WALK, he thinks he is one of the big kids. He loves to play with kenidee. He now has 6 teeth 4 on top and 2 on bottom.
He has started pulling out single strands of carpet and chew on them! We are going to have bald spots on our carpet.
he says uh oh really well and makes the noise I make for yuck. Baba and kenidee swares he says ka ka for kenidee. We love having Bennett in our family he is ALWAYS happy hardly ever cries and just loves to laugh.

more summer fun!

Justen and Bri went camping and we weren't able to go and stay with them so the kids grandma luana and I went up for lunch. Kenidee and Mitch had so much fun playing in the lake. These two are fearless. They would walk out into the water all the way over their heads if we would let them. Soon a storm came rollin in so that was our cue to leave. On our way home we had to stop for sqare icecream cones. The icecream isn't as good as it used to be but hey they are square! that makes it just a little better. Kenide loved them.

Just wanting to help

I am not sure what I was doing but when I came back Bennett was so happy. Really who wouldn't be, with a tray full of Cheerios. Kenidee thought he could use a few more treats. She was so proud of herself for helping her little brother. Kenidee much have dumped the cheerios all the way to his tray there was a little trail from the counter to the tray.

huckleberry picking

Kenidee and I went huckleberry picking with my family this summer. At one point we shoved eight of us in Justen’s pickup to get up the rest of the mountain. We had a small picnic then headed up to find the huckleberry bushes. Mitchell was dubbed the huckleberry hound. He loved picking huckleberries. We think it is in his blood. Kenidee on the other hand had to go to the bathroom so bad she could hardly enjoy herself I tried to have her go in the woods but she would not go in the woods. So after a short time picking Kenidee and I headed down the mountain in search of a bathroom. Rebecca said there was one down by the truck, so down we went with full intentions of going back up to pick huckleberries.
When we got down to the truck I couldn’t find the bathrooms anywhere. So we stayed by the truck and she took pictures of everything. It was a way to pass time. She is so funny when it comes to taking pictures. She was all over the place so I took several of her too.
After a while the huckleberry pickers came back and Rebecca took Kenidee to the hidden bathrooms. I still have no idea where they were. As we were sitting relaxing and enjoying nature Justen found a four leaf clover! We all oooed and aaaaaahed over it then awhile later Rachelle found a huge four leaf clover. It was amazing really. Rachelle said that that is how their luck goes… Justen’s luck comes small yet perfect. Rochelle’s luck comes big but is often retarded.
So i didn't down load things in order but use your imagination.........



the picture of my foot I took because I kept telling kenidee how dirty she was then I looked down at my foot and I am so dirty!




The best picture I could get of all of us in the truck. not so good but....we all remember.

waiting and waiting and waiting for a bathroom break.
