::10months::(WAY LATE)

Yeah, AP turned 10months LAST MONTH!

He is such a BIG BOY!... He is changing everyday.
Here are 10 facts about him for 10months-

1. He is in to EVERYTHING- he crawls so stinkin' fast

2. He is responding to "no"

3. He LOVES his sister. He will go after her in a skinny minute. He imitates everything that she does.

4. He has started walking some. CRAZINESS!

5. He has the most KISSABLE cheeks.

6. He will ROAR like a lion! hahaha

7. He is a momma's boy through and through (which I love!)

8.  He was 21 lbs (50%) and then 26inches-i think (75% whatever the length was) at his 9mth appointment

9. He is still NOT sleeping through the night. I am hoping this will come once he is weaned!

10. He LOVES being outside, in the tub, in the swing, in my arms, and being chased by HattieJo.

:horses part 2:

 She was ALL smiles her whole riding time! She kept telling us that she didn't want us to hold on to her while she rode. I think we have a horse rider in our future!

:horses.....

 ...HJ's new love! She is so in to horses right now. She is always on the lookout for them when we are driving, that is what she chooses to play with of all her toys (she has 4 figurines from Tractor Supply), and she is always asking to ride them, pet them, and to buy a real one! The other week we had the opportunity to go and let her ride one! She was thrilled. A precious family from my school (i have taught 2 of their children) have a horse and pony and told me to let HJ come over anytime to ride, take care of, and pet them. So we took them up on the offer. When I told HJ about it she was so excited! It was such a fun morning! HJ had no fear! She helped Madeliene fetch Lily from the field, take care of her before and after riding, fed her treats, and asked a MILLION questions in between! So here are some pictures from the day. I took a TON, so I will divide them between 2 days:

Spring Cleaning

cleaning the pollen from her horse

he was just a cheerleader for all the cleaning!

 As we are preparing to move we are trying to get rid of all the "stuff" that we have that we really don't need. So the other Saturday morning we set out to pick out all the "stuff" we needed to spruce up to put on Craigslist. HJ had fun cleaning her horse while we were cleaning other things. AP was just along for the ride as always and was talking and laughing!

.coffee?.

I have distinct memories of when I was a little girl and would spend the night with my grandparents, my grandma would make me a small cup of coffee with breakfast! It was loaded with milk and equal and was oh so yummy! HattieJo is following in my footsteps of loving coffee. She loves to drink it!

.sibling love and rivalry.

What you looking at mom?

"attack!"-ap...... "no, its MINE."-hj

"fine!"-ap

 Now that AP is ALL OVER the place it is so funny how he wants to be right in the middle of whatever HattieJo is doing. She enjoys it sometimes, but most of the time it is, "mooommmmyyyy..ap is getting my____." haha! Their interactions are PRECIOUS. She does LOVE him and gets the best laughs out of him!

.farm fun.

A couple of weeks ago, some friends of ours invited us out along with some other friends to their family's farm... when i told HJ she began talking about all the animals that she would see...but there was one problem- there were NO animals! There were some porcelain chickens that she took to...there were HUGE puddles, friends, wide open spaces, fishing, and food. It made for a great day!
**i love this picture, i feel like hj is giving Matt a puddle jumping lesson!**
