Nine months...really?!

Yesterday our little baby turned nine months old!! It is insane how quickly the time has gone and it is insane how much fun we are having. This update will be to the point and hopefully without too many errors (typing on the iPad is tough...our computer took a dive, again, so no pictures to document the cuteness!!) anyway...back to what H is up too...loves his brother...so much and wants to scoot around after him all the time. Hutch is getting closer to crawling for real instead of just inch worming around. He loves to laugh, clap, read, play, roll, go for walks, be outside, listen to me sing(Finn-not so much), FaceTime with grandma and poppa, play with his daddy. He is starting to eat more solids. Cottage cheese, toast and yogurt are new things we have added recently. He started pulling up to his knees in his crib a little and is getting stronger! His main goal in life is to get Jerry dog's food and water bowl. I think he spend most of his day trying to get to it...I just keep redirecting him and Finnean will shout..."he is getting it again!!!" pretty cute. He is sleeping until 4,5, or 6ish every night. He night he slept til 630!! It might not be the best thing, we probably need to be nursing to keep my milk up. We go to the doc on Monday, hopefully he is still gaining!! He is still nursing, but could really care less. He drinks enough to get his belly warm and then is done, which drags down my supply...hope we can make it three more months!!! He is having fun at the Y child care when I go to workout...I am going to try and keep it up as we are getting into that stranger anxiety stuff and I want him to do well when I am not around and to keep working out of course!! He really doesn't fuss about much. If you tke something for him, that gets him fired up the most. Each night and at nap he cries a bit, but we want him to go to sleep on his own and he does a pretty good job. He can pretty easily talk Michael into taking a nap in the chair with him though!! He is wearing size 3 diapers still and just moved into 9 month clothes. He still just has the two teeth but I think the top ones are working down:) he has the biggest smile...love how his mouth is always open. We think he is catching on to the sign for "all done". He wiggles his little wrists when we say it..so that is neat he is starting to communicate more. He gains new sounds all the time. He learns something new and all day you hear gagagagagagaga...next day it is something new. He is a joy and brings so much fun energy to our house!! We love you, little Hutchinson Wagler!

Soooo close...

I am so close to having our lives caught up on the blog...keep scrolling and click "Older Posts" to check out H's 8 month update and photo shoot.  I will hopefully finish "catching up" tomorrow!  Enjoy!!

Easter Eggs!!

Finnean really liked seeing what colors the little tabs made and then really loved see what colors the eggs changed too!
He did NOT like how boiled eggs smelled...just like his Daddy. 

Doing a little dipping.

Next year little H, next year!

Silly boy.  He ended up with brownish green hands because he decided that would be the best way to get the eggs out of the dye...obviously!

More Cheerios...please!

Hutchy started to snack on Cheerios...he loves them and is pretty cute eating them too :)

Fireman Pancake Breakfast.

We went to our local Fireman's Pankcake breakfast again this year.  I think Finnean would make it a national holiday-it really is his idea of a really cool way to eat breakfast.  Super yummy pancakes at a fire house...count us in!! 

Sonic...

We headed to Sonic for a dinner out the other night.  Michael really loves their hamburgers...and it is so fun to eat outside.  Hutchy loved sitting up with us and eating his puffs!

Big boys.

This boy is happy.  A whole lot of the time, he is just happy!!

Working on his pincher grab!! He is getting really good at picking this up.  It is fun to watch him become a pro!

A little more Bloomfield...

I love this picture.  He had Cheetos dust all over him!!!  It was crazy.  I am thinking that I will not put him in this shirt again.  He has worn it three times.  First time-chocolate milk.  Second time-strawberries.  Third time-Cheetos!  I spend more time trying to get it clean... :)  None the less, we had a great visit with Jeff on the courthouse lawn...the weather was great!

We headed over to Honey Creek with Grandma Lisa---love these pictures of her and the boys.

Patty cake!!

Bloomfield Fun!

Janet was kind enough to invite the boys out to check out her farm...they had so much fun!  It was a warm, spring day---perfect for feeding animals!

Ready to see the baby lambs and goats!

Giving Billy the Goat some corn!

Carter trying to feed the little baby a bottle. 

Finnean thought he would give it a shot...the little lamb just didn't want to drink from the bottle.

Billy was the big hit-the boys loved feeding him and he even jumped the fence and followed us around like a dog would.  He was pretty cute!

Something is funny:)

Carter getting the big goat some food, Billy was trying to get some too!

Hutchinson getting some love from Aunt Ellie!

:)

This is Finnean looking for cats...they were everywhere!!

Finnean and a visit from the Ice Cream Truck

A little of this...

Have I mentioned that I just love this little guy so much!  His big eyes and big smile get me every time!

He loves to pose for the camera!

He looks like a little stinker here. :)

O my.  His cheeks seems like they are getting bigger again.  I love the shape of his little face. 

This is what little H gets to watch from his ride in the stroller.  That is just about all he does...watch Finnean :)

We love being outside!!

There were a couple weeks in March that everyone but Michael had nasty colds.  It all started by taking the boys to the play place at the mall (I was told it is called the Pink Eye Pit...absolutely!) Finnean got sick, got a sinus infection, it plugged his tear ducts, making his eyes look like they had snot in them (gross, I know!) then little Hutchy got it and then I got it, paired with a few nasty headaches...we were not much fun!!! On Michael's Friday off, he took the boys out on an adventure and I slept.  It was amazing and I am STILL so thankful for that "day off!"  He got some cute pictures of Finnean on their adventure!  Thankfully we are all FINALLY healthy!!  Whooo! 

SOOOOO OLD!

Loving the big pedestrian bridge and the noisy water.

We met up with Kelcee and Matt for a picnic later that weekend at Colby Park.  Hutchinson loved hanging with Kelcee while Finnean...

...ran all over the park with Michael and Matt chasing after him.

The night was absolutely perfect.  Like 72 degrees with no wind, perfect.  It was awesome...so we headed to our favorite place...the Sculpture Park.  It is fun to see it at different times during the day.

Finnean loves the Nomad.

WAY up high!

I love this picture.  It just shows how happy he really is when he is running around exploring the art.

On top of the world.

LOOK!

This is my favorite picture of the night.  Just love this little boy and so excited for Hutchinson to be able to run around and explore with us!

St. Patrick's Day-2012

Happy, happy Hutchinson! 

Finnean and Daddy watching to parade go by AND having a snack :)

Big, happy guy!

Grandma and Poppa had to run an errand in Des Moines on this day, so we got to go to lunch with them and they joined us for the parade.  It is so nice that they make frequent trips to Des Moines!

I just can't get over how much he is turning into a little boy.  Not a toddler.  A big boy.  He is so independent (a lot of the time) and will just chat your ear off!

Family.

Finnean loves hanging with Grandma and Poppa. 

After the parade and naps we just lounged around the house and waited for the ISU basketball game.  Hutchinson rolls everywhere and sometimes he gets stuck!

LOVE!
Finnean gives the hugs.  We call them Finn-hugs.  Big wrap around and squeeze you kind of hugs.

Hutchinson is not quite as excited about this picture but the other two boys look like they are having a good time!

Who needs shirts when it is 80 degrees in the middle of March!?!?
