Sumo Ballerina, Among Others...

Hollan's shins are red and dry from crawling all over the house in her skivvies. So we broke out the rainbow bright tights from Shash and Lyla.

Evan wanted Hollan to wear her tutu to his swim class today but settled for just letting her wear it around the house this afternoon.
High Five.
Mmmm, fake ice cream is delicious.
Our beauty.
Yep, still quite refreshing.
When Brian saw these he said she looked like a sumo wrestler. She's got the thighs now, that is for sure!
Boom.
Bath buds.

Hollan Weigh In

The weight check went great, here are her stats at 10+ months:

Weight: 17lbs 4oz - 10%

Height: 28 1/2" - 50%

I finally got the numbers from her 9 month check up and realized that there had been a typo on her weight. They had her listed as 14lbs 8.5oz (which explains the 1%) but I remember very specifically that her weight was 15lbs. So, turns out she was actually around the 5 - 7% for weight, which was normal for her. But she has grown a full inch in less than six weeks!

The Bibs: Soon to be registering in a competitive eating contest near you.

Buds

Can you tell it is summer in AZ? Every time they play it is all about the swim suits and popsicles.

Bibs.

How huge does this gal look? It is hard to believe that we are close to leaving baby stage for toddler-hood.
WNBA, here she comes!!
This is a fuzzy picture of the FRICKING IGUANA we have living in our backyard. He ran past my foot the other day and I swear I jumped 3 feet, squealing all the while. I hope this gives enough perspective for you to assess his size, which is 12 feet long. (Or so it seemed. I think 8 - 10 inches may be more accurate.)
Aiden & Evan eating popsicles in the playhouse.
Hollan made the switch to her big girl car seat this weekend. This seat puts her in a position to watch Evan eat snacks in the car. Which is sure to tick her off.
Brian cleans the windows. The kids negate that effort immediately.

Hollan - 10 Months (!!)

Hollan is quite the character. She is as stubborn as a mule and eats like a horse. In fact, I found some food stuck in her neck roll the other day. Super exciting because it means she chubby enough to have a neck roll! That hides food! Operation Baby Fatten is a success!

Some of the many faces of the Bibs (now aka Chunk V2)

PS: It's my blog and I'll "Boost" if I want to.

Saturday...with the hicks.

What started as a normal Saturday ended with us dressing our kids up as red necks.

Since Hollan already rocks her own mullet (or as Aunt Shash calls it, her moo-lay...ain't she fancy?), we decided to take it up a notch.

I love that she's finger combing it. She's a natural.
Evan as a die hard Nascar fan.
Actually, he dressed himself which makes me so proud/scared.
I think we are pretty ready for our SC trip in August!!
