*{9} months*

{Our} youngest child is now..{9} months..gosh..time is going by too quickly..but I try to look at it like this..it won't be long until we are trying for #4..then we are done..for those of you that just said to yourself.."What are they thinkin'?" We have names already picked out..we have had the boy named for awhile now {John Paul McCabe}..if it is a little girl..{London Siddalee}...yes, her name is from The Devine Secrets Of The Ya-Ya Sisterhood...well part of it.
So..Mattie had a check-up today @ 1:30p..and guess how much she weighs..go ahead & place your bets now..Ha!
22 lbs. & she is still 29 1/2 inches long..I thought for sure she would be like 25 lbs.
They wanted to take blood..to see if she is anemic..I reminded them..they told us no shots this time..the nurse says..this isn't a shot..we just want to draw her blood..I said..oh..no..anything to do with needles piercing the skin..is a shot in our vocabulary..and I reminded her that Mattie's color is fine..and that I doubt that she is anemic..the Dr. later agreed..NO BLOOD DRAWING.
I just took these pics..Mattie is wearing an A.C.T.G.F. Original..with cherries on it! I love this dress! Dr. J loved this dress also..I think she is partial to Mattie..she just seems like family to us..I have used her for Trae, Izabelle & Mattie..she is a wonderful Dr.
Mattie has her foot straight up..I guess she isn't enjoying the grass today...but I did manage to catch a sweet pic of her grin and doing the patta-cake!

On the couch with Da-Da..& more patta-cake.

If you look closely{below}..this is a great "tooth" shot..I caught it on accident..and was tickled when I realized that I caught a pic of her "tooth"..I have been wondering about how to do it..'cause when you are planning on a certain pic..it never happens..but not today! {Caught it!!!!!}
