Mikaela's 9 month check up

Mikaela's development is right on course and her growth has slowed down a bit. Which they said was expected. She is 17 pounds and 8 ounces, 28 inches long, and head circumference is 43 cm. She is very interested in what is going on and wants to be in the middle of the action. (Wonder where she got that trait from?) She is getting to the point where a bottle isn't very interesting but does well from a sippy cup. She doesn't hold it all by herself yet, but it won't be long. She is sleeping through the night. She is pleasant in the morning when she wakes up (which she must get from her daddy). She is growing up so quickly.

Outer Banks

Dennis, Debbie, Brian, Mikaela and myself took a trip to the outer banks a couple of weeks ago. It was a nice relaxing time. Mikaela did not see the beach but she did get in the pool and explored around the lighthouse. She also got a tooth on the top, so she now has 3 teeth. PawPas found the 3rd tooth the hard way. Mikaela bit him.

Easter Egg Hunt at Amanda Point

The Wilson's and some other friends got together on Saturday for an Easter Egg Hunt. We had lots of fun and found lots of eggs. Magoo grilled hamburgers and hotdogs for everyone. Even though it was a wee bit chilly with the breeze, everyone had a great time.

Easter 2009

Brian, Mikaela and I had Easter lunch at the Bakers. Mikaela wore the dress that her GG bought her and she was absolutely adorable.

Mikaela feeding herself bananas

This was the first time Mikaela had a self fed meal. It was a bowl of bananas. You can see in the video that she is "all into" her food. By the way, the bowl ended up in the floor, along with half a banana.
