It's a negotiation process...

After much pleading on her father's part... and much teasing on Linden's part, she finally caved and gave Dad a modified version of his request. This does not bode well for the future...

Baby Yoga!

And we wonder why Otto is fat...

9 Months on 9/9/09!

That has to mean something right?

Yeah, like her 9 month check up...

Here are the beloved stats:

Height - 29.5 inches (97th percentile)
Weight - 19lbs 6oz (60th percentile)
Head Circumference - 18.25 inches (97th percentile)

By reading these numbers, you may be concerned with her proportions... Long and lean with a large noggin'. Walking may be a bit difficult... like trying to balance a bowling ball on the top of a yard stick! But we're not worried!

Mr. Met seems to be doing just fine! (see here)

Below are some pictures from a playdate w/ Logan. You may remember him from the Daddy Day Care Series (Part 1 and Part 2). Logan's mom, Jess, took these really great photos. Thanks Jess for the great pictures and for allowing us to go out and celebrate our anniversary!

Her father has been known to sport this serious look.

Looking into the eye of the lens... (possible narcissism brewing?)

Logan puttin' the moves on... again.

De Plane! De Plane!

L & L enjoying a nice bubble show.

This picture was just too much for me to handle...

9 years... and counting!

Kacy and I just celebrated 9 years of marriage on Thursday. I know it's cliché, but it really has gone by in a blink of an eye.

We have been SO blessed and do not for a second forget to recognize God's hand in our marriage.

9 years of adventure... the best years of our lives. But we also know that our best years are not behind us... so we look forward with anticipation and awe!

The Death Stare...

Linden using "Jedi mind tricks" on us...

We finally had to put away the...

infant car seat.

It's been at least a month over due, but like the typical parents we are, we had a hard time letting her grow into the next phase of her life.

Here she is modeling and getting fitted for her new car seat.

Next stop College... sigh.

Oregon continued...

More pictures from our quick trip to Oregon...

What do they say about Grandparents spoiling Grandkids??? Does this include soda?

We visited this beautiful Linden tree in Bear Creek Park.

Does she look scared and excited at the same time?

Dream big little girl...

The Grandparents were happy to come down to her level.

We visited the charming, quaint... can't quite find the words for it... SPAM festival. I'm glad they made the effort to update the year on the banner...
