Happy Father’s Day!

After Church pictures.

These two are always playing around!

Caleb tries to run away but Daddy catches him for some kisses!

oh the difference between the Daddy&Ansley shot and the Caleb shot!

After naps we headed to the Grasshoppers game. Caleb loved everything about “baseball”. He could sense the excitement in the air.

He loved the seats, watching the game, and the loud music!

Daddy and C shared a snowcone.

Even little Ans had fun!

We left our seats to get some dinner.

The weather was perfect!

Daddy even let Caleb have a special treat of some Coke. That’s how good of a Daddy he is. He turns his day into their day. Spoiling and loving and enjoying his kids!

Enjoying spending time in our seats and on the stadium playground.

Caleb’s shirt said “you’re not match for my Dad”!

Ansley’s shirt said “I <3 Daddy”!

We had such a great day spending time with and loving on our Daddy! Everyone had so much fun the whole day, from church, to our tradition(if you can call it that!) of stopping for Wendy’s drivethru for after-church lunch(we all look forward to our little routine!), to a productive nap time, to a wonderful time at the game(with a win!)!!!

Happy Father’s Day to a wonderful, loving, fun to be around, great DAD! Caleb and Ansley were given such a blessing to have such a great Daddy as you, Josh. They feel loved, protected, cared for and enjoyed! I can tell this by their actions, behavior and love for you!

Ansley- 9 months

Weight: 14lbs 6oz. 3%!!!

Height: 26inches. 5%!!!

Head: 16.5inches. 5%!!!

• Size 2 diapers(which are huge on her still but the 1’s were getting a little snug and a girl cant stay in 1’s forever!)
• 6month clothes fit the best, although we can get a couple of 3month and several 9mo.
• Two Teeth! The top front.
• Loves sitting up but will randomly just fall backwards.
• Very serious still but gets the giggles often. Thinks Daddy’s hair is hilarious! Daddy and Ans have this little game where they face each other and he tilts his head down so she can see the top of his head. She goes crazy- laughing!
• Started showing signs of wanting to move. The only problem is that it’s not the right technique. She lays on her back, arches and pushes off with her heels. The aching thing has got to go its very counterproductive towards regular movement. But its hard to correct her because I’m just happy she is showing any motivation to move.
• When you try to get her to do tummy time, she immediately pops herself into the crawling position. I guess she prefers that position a little more, if we are going to make her get off her back. She is also very close to getting herself from the crawling position to sitting(Thanks to Daddy therapy!)
• Drinking about 3-5oz of breast milk about every 5hours. We are adding a scoop of formula to each bottle to maximize her calorie count to about 30cal/oz instead of 20.
• Eats baby oatmeal in the morning, sometimes only one bite, sometimes 4T worth. Usually the smaller amount.
• Dinner is babyfood 1/2-1jar. She LOVES Yo-Baby yogurt.
• She has picked up a couple of puffs before but usually if she gets them in her mouth she spits it right out. She will chew on a mum-mum though.

• Tablefoods(we are trying everything, to find something that she will eat!) that she has had are steakfry, refried beans, mashed potato, chocolate cake batter(haha)
• Does not like being left alone in a room. Goes from happy/content to hysterics in 0.2!
• Sleeps from about 7:30pm-7am. Waking to eat anywhere from 0-2x/night. We threaten to sleep train but I think its really just empty threats! She has us wrapped around her finger!
• We lay her down in her bed on her belly. Before we can even let go of her she flips to her left all the way to her back. We place her blanket over her, she grabs the edge and rolls over to her side. And goes right to sleep. That whole routine happens in one smooth movement. She has got it exactly how she likes it!
• Naps at 9am and 1pm. They usually last 1-3hours each.
• Very curious(for anything she can easily reach, not willing to move to get it!) about things. Will try to grab anything she can.  
• Doing Mommy/Daddy therapy for now. We are in the process of getting her PT set up with the same therapist that Caleb had, Mrs. Kristy!
• Loves TV. Sad I know. But its usually just Praise Baby and maybe Barney. And its usually just once a day. And it’s usually during therapy.
• Her thin blonde hair is growing like crazy. But still not enough to put a bow in without the headband.
• Can stand either with something in front of her or something behind her for short periods of time.

Our growing girl! 3.6.9.
