9 Months Old by John Lee

I am nine months old! And growing so fast! I can stand up on my own. I don’t take many steps, but I will be walking before you know it. I like to feed myself and eat big people food whenever possible. I do lots of “talking” and some of it is even starting to sound like words! I am learning to play with my big brother and I love it. I have to say, 9 months is the best age I have ever been!

Happy Grandparents’ Day by Denny Lynn

September 12 was Grandparents’ Day. I colored cards for all our grandparents and great grandparents. They had Caillou on them (he is my favorite and does fun things with his grandparents). We also sent them pictures of me and John. I hope they had a great day!

Ushering by Denny Lynn

On Sunday mornings we go to my church. I really like it – I know everyone and everyone knows me. Daddy is an usher and he helps take the offering. Some weeks, I get to help him. I am good at passing the plate and taking the money to be counted. I can’t wait until I can be an usher on my own.

My Saddle by Denny Lynn

I have been waiting and waiting for my new saddle that Brother David made for me. It is so pretty and looks just like Daddy’s only smaller.

It has special conchos on it just for me. John took a turn sitting on it, too.

I was really excited to get it and take it home – I even helped load it up in the back of the truck.

I tried it out on Felix, but the mosquitoes were so think I didn’t get to ride for long. That’s ok, I know I will put lots of miles on it!

Horse Show by John Lee

I got to go to my first horse show Labor Day weekend. It was really fun. Denny went all over – he likes going up and down on the bleachers.

I liked hanging out in my stroller and watching all the people.

There was lots of excitement and fun things to see. I know it won’t be my last horse show!

Pajama Party by Denny Lynn

So for Labor Day weekend there was a horse show. We were supposed to go on Friday night, but it ended too early, so Mama helped us have a pajama party. As soon as we got home we all put on our jammies. We put blankets out on the floor and made popcorn.

John liked having a party with me and wearing his pjs.

I got to pick a movie for us to watch. When Daddy got home he joined in, too.

It was a really fun party – I hope we can do it again soon!
