9 Months and fun

9 Months:

Crew turned 9 months on March 17th and finally got his crawling down the night before this. I am very happy about this bc I can tell he is much happier being able to get quickly to what he wants-usually me, Emmy or food :)

Crew at 9 Months:

-Crawls and bear crawls

-Pulls himself up

-Is eating so so good! He eats more than Em sometimes. His favorite snacks are cheese sticks, those baby cheeto things, apple sauce pouches and cubed sweet potatoes 

-Teething (again) 

-Wants every remote we own in his hands at all times

-Loves wrestling with daddy and Em

-Loves to be outside

-Very attached to mommy, he wiggles so much but still wants to be held a lot of the time

-Sleeping through the night! I feel human again! 

Now for some pics of our handsome guy...

Trapped himself under a stool

Em always gets this guy in the morning and it couldn't make Crew happier. They both play and laugh together in his crib for awhile in the mornings.

My most handsome 9 month old guy with binky in hand of course.

He pulled himself up a couple days after crawling

Me and my best guy

I can't believe that in a week he will be 10 months. He is almost ONE! I still feel like I barely gave birth to him. Oh my sweet Crew-Crew guy where'd this year go? 

Here's just a little bit of things that have gone on or going on with the Zulaufs...

One of my very good friends got married last month and I had a blast at her bachelorette party. It was so fun being with some of my best friends all day!

Emery LOVED making play dough. We had fun cutting out all kinds of shapes with the cookie cutters. Em was in heaven

One Saturday (Court had to work) we headed over to grandma and grandpas. A lady in their ward is a DJ and every so often she does 'kid dance parties'. Emery and Crew had a blast and so did Grandma and Grandpa. Okay, so did I.

The kids all got in a big circle and some would go dance in the middle. This is what this little stink did, haha. She's the best.

Grandpa and Crew-Crew, my dad said, "Hey, take a picture. We have the same haircut." Haha I love these two.

Boxes are the best kid toys. 

So happy. Cutest little munchkin

We have been spending almost every day outside. The weather is so nice and of course the babes love  it.

And we can't forget hanging out with Grandma and Cousin Ans!

We also started potty training yesterday. And it has been going great. This Emery girl continues to impress me. We have been talking about the potty, reading books about it and trying it out whenever Em wanted to since she was 18 months old. Once I knew she knew that she needed to go and that she could hold it and what not, I knew I needed to get this done. It has been quite painless actually. She hasn't had any accidents and is already doing most everything on her own. She even made it through the night, got up in the morning and went potty. 20,00 points go to her for making my life easy, bc I was dreading this. She's awesome! Im hoping it continues to be a breeze once we aren't inside our house anymore.

Can't believe how grown up she is! She gets another post soon bc she'll be 2 1/2 on the 26th. I can't believe it!!! What is happening to my squishy babies?!?!

I love being a mom to these babes. It can sometimes be a tantrum throwing (that's me) and exhausting day and sometimes even one I just want to get over with. But I still wouldn't change it. How could I ever want anything different than these two? For me, It's all I ever wanted.
