so we have been super busy trying to get floors in, banister done..and our kitchen cabinets just got delivered...unfortunately we have a bazillion projects going on at once. But I am proud to say that the banister was put in and I sanded, stained, sealed, sanded again, and just today put a the final coat of poly on there and now it is complete! Yay...happy mommy. Mitch has his 2 upper teeth...so hopefully soon we will get a break from crabby baby!

Mitch had his 9 month checkup yesterday. 22 lbs (75 percentile) and 30 inches (95 percentile) I have quite a big baby! His two upper teeth are coming in, so we have been dealing with crabby Mitch. He's a pro at crawling and trying sooo hard to stand up on his own. I don't think he understands that he needs to learn how to pull up on furniture. Screw it...he tries to stand up in the middle of the floor with nothing around, so his legs are straight up and hes bent over with his arms on the ground, but his balance isnt good enough to get up...it's hilarious. I need to try and capture a shot. He can pull up on mommy and daddy though and he says dada and he's starting to give big slobbery open mouthed kisses more liberally now...which makes mommy happy!
We ordered a baby gate for the top of the stairs. My hubby and I had some disagreements over which gate to get..he wants cheap I want safe and he thinks cheap is still safe...anyways I won and we are waiting for it to be delivered. We got outlet covers on and the tv mounted on the wall so that mitch can't electrocute him self or pull the tv down.
