James had his nine month check up on Wednesday. My boy is now 30 1/2" tall (95th percentile) and 22 lbs, 13.5 oz (60th percentile). He's thinning out! The doctor was not surprised at all by this considering he's been crawling since he was 5 1/2 months old. All that exercise will take those chubby baby rolls right off! He was deemed precocious and perfect except for his belly button. He has a large mole/birthmark on his belly button. It hasn't changed in size but there is some discoloration to it so our pediatrician would like to have a dermatologist check it out. I've already made that appointment. It's on November 28th. Hopefully it will be deemed nothing. And hopefully worst case is they remove it and we're done. And my brain is not letting me go anywhere past that. Nothing more than some temporary discomfort and maybe a scar. (please?) James also had his flu shot on Wednesday. He was such a trooper during that shot and the finger prick to check his hemoglobin and lead count. I don't know if the flu shot was bothering him last night or if he's teething (again!) but he refused to nurse really at bed time, woke up four hours later and was not easily convinced to go back to sleep then was up again at 4am, still refusing to nurse and once again not easily convinced to go back to sleep. It was not the best of nights. Hopefully we won't have a repeat of that tonight.

Last night Annika was writing on her chalkboard and she wrote an A! She is learning to write her name at preschool and she showcased her letter A for me last night! I was so excited I grabbed my camera and took a picture of her and her A. Way to go baby girl!

Hey - you want some groundbreaking news? If I turn off the tv more, Annika gets less timeouts. And yes, I do believe there is a direct correlation. Both Annika and James want my attention (and I'm sure Kris' during the day too) and if I have the tv on, I'm usually not giving them as much as they want. So, it has been my goal to leave the tv off from the time I get home from work until they are both asleep in their beds. Then, if there is something I want to watch, I can go watch it. We do have a DVR after all so I don't need to watch something as it airs. I've done this experiment before and always received the same results. And yet the tv always finds a way of turning itself back on. So, that's my goal - have the tv on less.

Krystle and Pierce close on their townhouse today! Woo-hoo! I am so excited to have them as neighbors! Congratulations you two!
