Brandi and Tagan Visit!

Hey There Q-Man!

We had a fun filled weekend this past week. One of mommy's mommy friends came all the way from Texas to visit us. Brandi and Tagan (who is also your age) came up and we went shopping at some vintage stores and got you a cute pair of hand made slip on pre walker shoes, and a set of maracas. We gave one maraca to Tagan and kept one for you. You two were so cute playing with each other. After that Brandi took your 9 month photos. They turned out SO cute. Brandi is just learning how to do photography, so it was good practice for her as well.

You also sprouted another bottom tooth this past week and you figured out how to stand up on your own! You still have to hold onto things, but you are getting it. I think you learned it from Tagan because she is already walking!

You also figured out how to get your Velcro cloth diapers off and you have been throwing temper tantrums, which I do not like one bit! You get upset when I try to take something away from you, and when you have to get changed. It is not fun! It is weird seeing some of my worst traits (impatientness and easily irritated) surface in you!

One of my other mommy friends made you a pumpkin beanie that is SO cute. I will post a picture of that here too! Soon we will be going to Florida to visit Grandma and Grandpa Catalfu for the first time for you. We are going to fly and Daddy is going to drive because we have to take so much stuff there, but you are too little to sit for an 18+ hour drive!

You have been sleeping better and better and we have basically night weaned you. You are down to about 1 feeding around 430AM. You go to bed at 630pm, so that is pretty impressive! You are just growing up TOO fast! I am already thinking about your 1st birthday party because it will be here before I know it!

love always,
Mama
