late 9 month picture

I already gave Alli's 9 month stats, but here's her 9 month pic. We took her and Nash's pictures together and we're having camera issues so I only got a couple good ones. This was my favorite.

Chelsey 1, Alli 0

Since Alli loves to play with hair so much, my mom gave her Tara's old extension. Gross huh? Well, me and Alli were just lounging around watch her shows and she was ripping my hair out. So I ever so carefully moved and put the wig in my place. At first she didn't notice and then once she did, she seemed like she liked it. I refuse to let her take her wig out in public, but at home it's a different story. What a little weirdo.

Good-bye, husband. Hello, football!

Well, it's that time of year again. Football season. Forget Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, etc this is, hands down, Jeff's favorite time of year. And it means several things at our house. Our weekends are gone. Fridays are spent at our beloved THS watching my brother, JD and his fellow T-wolves. And Saturday we are apart of Bronco's "Quest." I'm not quite clear on what exactly the "Quest" is. I have a few guesses. But I just wear the shirt. And then Sundays after church, Jeff reviews the game from the day before as well as all post game coverage from numerous channels. There's no sense fighting it. I've learned just to embrace it.

This clip is of my brother JD in his game a week ago. He's #5 the receiver. We're his #1 fans!

Living the dream...

What if you were to go to the doctor and he tells you, "Don't worry about nutrition, just calories." Well, for Alli that's the case. It'll all started when I took her to the doctor for a bad diaper rash two weeks ago. And at that time she weighed in at 13lbs 15oz. Which put her in the .8 percentile. Not 1%, .8%. The doctor then said the whole calories not nutrition thing. So for the last two weeks Alli has indulged in cupcakes with frosting, pizza, hamburgers, cheese bread, etc. And I really thought it was working. She was feeling a little more solid. I put her on the scale and it reads 14lbs .5 oz. so that put her in the .49%. The next two hours were spent going over Alli's diet, how much she drank, when she drank, what she ate, how much, how often, etc. Alli eats really good. And drinks really good. Other than her slim figure, she's healthy. They tested her blood and it looked fine. And he ruled out her being a primordial dwarf, Mike. She's in the 35% for height and 30% for her head.
So I'm just supposed to increase her food intake and add some oils and butter to it. He said we're shooting for the 5% at her year appointment. So here's Alli enjoying the doctors orders with a little chocolate pudding.



Here's some of her 9 month pastimes:

-She claps when you say patty cake.
-She enjoys headbutting, but who doesn't?
-Army crawling. She's fast especially when I am getting her ready to get in the tub. As soon as the diaper is off, she moves at warp speed.
-She loves rough-housing. She gets jealous when Grandpa Todd throws Nash around.
-And of course, eating. She doesn't seem to mind her new diet.
