Aunt Jessica has been anxiously awaiting nine month photos of Leah, so here they are Auntie! Leah was nine months a few days ago. At her checkup she weighed 19 lbs, 10 oz and she is 29 inches long. Our infant car seat can't be used past 30 inches, so this weekend we took a trip to Babies R Us with BOTH grandmas to get a new one. We made a tunnel out of the box and Leah had a blast crawling through it. We would close the flaps and she figured out how to slither through and then she would crawl out and clap for herself. So cute! (There's a video down below.) She is in such a fun stage right now. She is not walking yet, but she crawls at the speed of light when she wants to, and she can pull herself up to stand on the furniture and walk holding on. She's also starting to wave bye-bye and babble with new sounds.
The Coronavirus pandemic has us hunkering down at home like many people around the country, and we are working to make the best of it! The kids miss their friends at school and are disappointed about various things that have been cancelled or put on hold indefinitely, however there we are enjoying the time together as a family. The days are full of extra stories, games, puzzles, bike rides, and walks. We have started a few activities as part of our "school at home" routine and figured that resurrecting the blog might be a fun way to share what the kids are up to. But first, since the last time I wrote on the blog James was just learning how to crawl, and now James is a 4-year-old big brother, we figured we should officially introduce Mr. Samuel Drexel on the blog! Sam is 9 months old now and he is lots of fun. The kids have figured out a few ways to get him belly laughing in recent days. We all laugh when he crawls after a pilates ball and pounces...

Wish we were there with everyone. Hope to see you guys soon! Hugs and kisses (for everyone, but especially for Leah!)
