9 Months and more

A friend of mine recently asked how I was handling all 5. She went on to praise my wonderful mothering skills and mentioned that I always seem to "have it together." She then asked if I ever lose it with them. Well today I lost it. Props to all those photographers out there who manage to take pictures of babies. Especially 9 month old babies who refuse to sit still for more than 1/4 of a second.
I had to put up with this...
in order to get this.
 (Their legs are not in the picture because you would see me holding them down)
Ali made that sign, she said it is a '9' winking.
 He would not sit still, so I tried the sit him in his high chair so he cannot move... then he refused to look at the camera. (plus he ate Ali's picture)
 I think he thought that if he ate the paper he would be done. But the trick is on him because I just made another!
 Haha Mama, I will just block it!
 I am already dreading the 10 month picture. It will probably end up as a blur moving across my room. Okay, enough of my horrible photo shoot. Now on to other fun firsts.

 Jack has come to love food. I feel like he eats non-stop, and EVERYTHING. He does have things he loves more than others, such as black beans. What a cute messy baby he is.
 He also gets into everything. This is the first time he stood up on anything. I only got to take the picture because he was stuck. (it is a weird angle, he is not really that skinny.
Speaking of skinny, these boys are thinning out. Jack actually lost 3 oz since his last appointment a month ago, but gained 2 inches. Thank you crawling. Here is a point of reference, pre and post crawling.
pre-crawling;  April 20th
 Now (I tried to get Jack to keep his legs crossed too, but it was not working).

Love those little bums! And you'll look back and love that "bad" photo shoot way more than one that went perfectly. :)
