A Note on my Previous Post

I just wanted to clarify something about my last post titled, "'Best Birthday Ever!'" Just a note: I chose that title because Ben had said several times that it was the "best birthday ever!" And, it was a fantastic birthday...better than many birthdays I have had in the past (especially the one where I went to Sonic by myself). However, just to be clear, I was simply quoting Ben with my last title.

"Best Birthday Ever!"

Well, we celebrated my last birthday in my 20's this past Saturday. Next year is the Big 3-0! I have a lot to do between now and then!!

To quote Ben, it was the "best birthday ever!" Lanny and I got to have a really fun date night on Saturday thanks to our very gracious friends offering to babysit (for free!). Then, on Sunday, my best friend in the whole world and her family, who lives in College Station, surprised me by coming over, treating us to dinner, and then spending the night. I really was surprised because Lanny had set me up by telling me we had plans with other people. While I was getting ready, Ben came and told me, "They're here..." Me: "Who's here?" Ben: "Caleb..." I ran into the living room, and it was Caleb! With the rest of the Skow clan of course :)

It truly was such a great birthday!

She Did It!

Lindley crawled tonight! She has been trying so hard to figure it out, and tonight she did it! I'm sorry that the video is a little long, but you can see the progression...you have to wait until towards the end to see her finally make it. And, in one of the clips, I had a "monkey" on my back, so it is a little bouncy. Sorry!

What She's Doing Now

I never posted on Lindley's 9 month birthday, so I thought I would go ahead and "record" what she is doing at 9 months before she turns 10 months ;)

At her 9 month check-up, she weighed 20.1 lbs and was 28.25 inches, which are both in the 75th percentile. Her peanut head is in the 25th percentile.

She is now waving hi and bye; signing "all done" (which looks alot like hi and bye); she has one bottom tooth; she is so close to crawling, but just can't make it work; she is actually doing some sort of snake/swim crawl which looks like she is working really hard to do, but she is actually getting somewhere when she does this; and, she is making this really funny "breathe in/out through her nose" face (I'll try to get a video of it).
