OK had her 9 month checkup earlier this month(weighing in at 17lbs 1 oz). The doctor asked if we had any concerns and my only concern was that she wasn't crawling and all of the kids her age were. The doctor told us that it was totally normal and some kids never crawl, the go straight to walking. Within a few days she took off and hasn't stopped yet. Now she is getting into everything and pulling up on the couch. I can't believe how time flies. Make sure to treasure all of the moments all of you new moms out there. Check-out this footage. We are so proud of her. The doctors were scared she wouldn't develop on track but she has. She is definitely our little miracle.

Update
Okay, so I am a blog slacker. Sorry that it has taken me so long to post. Things have been a little crazy lately as most of you know.
CTW lost his grandfather earlier this month. A few days later I left my job due to some issues. CTW has been working like a mad man to make up for time he missed when OK was born. OK is still battling an ear infection and Christmas activities have taken over our life.
I am hoping that now that Christmas has come and gone, that things will slow down a little. I am busy adjusting to being home(but loving every minute). CTW is adjusting to me being home as well. Please pray for us as we make these adjustments. I hope to post a few more entries in the next couple of days. OK has conquered some new milestones and of course there are tons of pictures from Christmas.
We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are looking forward to the New Year!!

Leaves, Leaves, Everywhere
One thing that I love and hate about fall is the leaves. When Chad and I were looking for a house, we wanted a neighborhood with trees. Little did we know that we would have the cutest house with the most leaves in the neighborhood. Check out a few pictures of our yard.
I'm a Big Girl Now
Since Mommy is such a blog slacker, I have picked up where she left off. Look how grown-up I am. Standing on the outside of the exersaucer is my favorite thing these days. 
I Know Where that Piece Goes
While Mommy was sick, Grandma, Aunt K, and CPW came over to take care of me(Daddy had to work late). CPW started putting puzzles together and got destracted by her favorite purple dinosaur, so I decided to help Grandma finish the the puzzle. Mommy was so proud of my accomplishment. She thinks that I am the smartest girl around.
My First Cracker
A few weeks ago Mommy had the stomach flu, so Daddy brought home some saltines and guess what, they gave me one. Once I figured out that I could eat it, yummy. Check out these lovely pictures. How could you not love that face.
