update blog before the real one year old blog... 2nd child problems

I have a "note" on my phone where I will type what Nola is doing and try to put the date. I also typed the blog below back in April and left it as a draft until tonight because I was waiting to add pictures. Guess 3 months later the pictures probably aren't going to happen. This is the case of the 2nd child and their baby book. NOLA, we LOVE you, even if we hardly blog about you!! :)

FROM APRIL:
Nola Jo - 9 months old

Stats
Weight: 17 lbs 2 oz (25th percentile)
Height: 28 3/4 inches (90th percentile)
Head: 17 3/4 inches (80th percentile) 

What she is up to....
Pulling herself up
Stands for a couple seconds without assistance
Cruising some around train table and coffee table
Crawling backwards still but not forwards
Lowered crib all the way down at 9 months
Has her top 4 teeth through her gums at different stages
Her bottom 2 teeth came in at 6 months (should probably start brushing them)
She "llllls" her tongue like a Spanish lady when she is mad 
Tilts her head to the side back and forth being silly with daddy
Says "da-da" 
Started waving and clapping at 8 months old
Loves to pull my glasses off my face in the mornings
Is doing really well eating real food and is still exclusively breastfed.. as in no bottles. ;)
Down to 2 naps now and is sleeping 9+ hours at night pretty consistently
Prefers her brothers cool toys and not her awesome baby toys (I hear, "no, baby!" all the time now)
Hartz definitely doesn't like her crying in the car ... I hear "STOP crying, baby" or "toy for baby, mama"
Hartz has lots of moments though when he plays really well with her and asks where she is if she is napping or not around

Hartz - a couple months shy of 3 years old (AH!)

Stats
We had a time with a 5 day virus a couple weeks ago, so we took a trip to see Dr. Amber and Hartz weighed in at 32 lbs. We will have for real stats soon.

What he is up to...
Lately he likes to tell me around people that he is "gonna be shy" and proceeds to hide behind me
Loves making silly faces and loves getting people to laugh at him
Still wants to play "catch"
Been playing soccer every Sunday... he excels at running really fast, picking his nose on the field, water/snack breaks, kicking the ball as long as no one else is (who can blame him for all the teaching on sharing and not stealing toys he has been through) and chasing other team mates on the field and I think he is pretty much the cutest kid ever out there.
