We have a CRAWLER!!!

Our little Tegan is becoming less and less of a baby and more like a toddler every day! It always feels as if she pulls a new trick out of her hat with each month mark! At four months she decided she would tolerate tummy time, at seven months she started rolling all over the house, here she is nine months old with a whole new bag of tricks! Tegan has learned to pull herself up to stand, and quickly found how to carefully sit back down with a graceful "plop". Last night out of no where she decided it was time to let go of her normal scooting backwards ways and take on a whole new way of getting around! Tegan is now a crawler! As with anything she does, she has added her own little flair of style! She strives to be different from other babies and wants to stand out and be heard and seen for that matter! She adds a special ray of sunshine to everything she does!!!!!

Tegan is a Wright baby for sure!

Today was Tegan's 9 month check up and shots! I was incredibly excited to see how much our little one has grown over the past few months. I knew she was getting big but I had no idea just how big. In my eyes Tegan is still my teeny little baby. In fact I get upset when people tell me she is huge, because the baby I see everyday is a petite little thing...well for a Wright baby that is. Anyone that knows us Wrights know that we grow big babies!! Tegan Marie is measuring in at 19 1/2 pounds and a whole 28 1/4 inches long(lets face it, she will be as tall as me by kindergarten haha)! Dr Martinez laughed when filling in Tegan's new stats on her growth chart. Apparently babies normally slow in growth around 9 months causing their chart to level out or somewhat drop, Tegan made quite the peak in her chart! Clearly Tegan is far too cool to be like those other kids :P Tegan is thriving and is as healthy as can be. Of course she fights to be against the norm, as a result we had to have a dose increase on her prevacid and we are still fighting those darn tear duct to open.

Tegan is pulling her self up, scooting backwards and making her way around the house quite well now days! She says "mama" "dada" and "baba" along with a few other choice babbles that only she can understand. She knows how to melt our hearts in more ways than one! There is nothing like those little arms reaching out for you saying mama. We brought Tegan to bed with us early the other morning after a tough night, Tegan layed awake and saw that daddy's eyes had opened. She smiled and looked at him and said "dada". If that doesn't start your day off with a smile I don't know what will! She is such a little gem in our lives. She completes us in so many ways :)

Today...

As of today our sweet Tegan Marie is 9 months old! It was nine months ago that she melted my heart while holding her in my arms for the first time. Happy 9 months boogie, mommy loves you very much!

*sigh* our baby is growing up way too fast. It is time to get serious in planning her first birthday party!

An update on ourTegan Marie

I have yet again broken my promise of regular updates. With all that has been going on, there hasn't been enough time in a day to write a blog. As some of you know, Zachary was laid off of work for most of July. We very much enjoyed having Zach home with us and the financial strain was totally worth it! Tegan LOVES her daddy and the month off allowed him to really connect with her and get to know her and her changing personality.

Tegan is wonderful!!!! She is getting to be such a big girl! Looking at her makes it hard to remember that teeny newborn I once held. Tegan now has two pearly whites, and some very light blonde hair. She is rolling around, and scooting backwards to get where she wants to go. She hasn't figured out how to crawl forward yet, either that or she finds reverse more efficient :) She is pulling up on things and discovering all that is around her. Her little personality comes out more and more each day! Tegan sure is a bright bubbly little ray of sunshine! Her smile lights up the room!

So much has gone on since I last blogged. We helped my mom make the hour away move to her new house with her boyfriend. Zach worked hard painting my sisters new room while I helped with the rest of the house. It was hard to see them move so far away, yet I couldn't be happier for them. I sewed Zebra curtains to complete my sisters dream room and used the left over fabric to sew Tegan a new dress. Can you find Tegan??

This past weekend was Zachary's brother Tyler's big wedding! It has been a long time coming and we couldn't wait to take part in the celebration. Zach's oldest brother and his family came up from Texas for the weekend wedding fun in chicago. My new sister in law is from india so we had the mylangi ceremony friday night along with the wedding rehearsal. To make things easier we stayed the weekend in a hotel along with the rest of the bridal party and family. Saturday was the beautiful wedding and reception. We had a total blast! Before we drove home on sunday we took the kids to the aqurium :) it was a very wonderful yet very busy weekend! Tegan handled all the business so well. She didn't fuss once (she is just still catching up on sleep).
