9.5 months old - new pics

9.5 months old and getting even bigger. I was recently looking back at pics and videos of when they were younger. It's just incredible how fast the boys grow and develop.

Sal's mum likes to make quilts as a hobby. When she asked what the boys would like for x-mas Sal immediatly jumped at the chance to get some unique hand made quilts. They took a little longer than expected to make, but the boys recently got their quilts. They are fantastic, and the boys love them. Below it's Ethan's quilt. Ben's is very similar, but has green material between all the squares instead of blue. The quilts are about 70cm x 100cm big (approx 2 x 3 feet).

Zoomed in look at Ethan's quilt The other side of Ethan's quilt (both quilts look the same on that side)

OH MY! LOOK HOW MUCH THE BOYS HAVE GROWN!!! They will be riding bicycles in no time at all. Isnt it bitter-sweet? :) They seem to be doing great and i LOVE the quilts, simply beautiful!
Indeed, Everett needs a haircut and it is taking ever bit of me not to run out and get him a haircut. His grandparents, and my sister really want his hair to grow out with curls. UGH, so in the meanwhile he looks like a ragamuffin. Maybe I'll let it grow out and never cut it then see what they say. I'm thinking i wont be able to wait much longer.
Everett really hasnt progressed in walking, he's still happy making a few steps then sitting down and crawling. I've heard if they have something in each hand really helps them keep their balance. I might try that. OH and i have great intentions in getting out the video camera, but by time i get it set up and turned on, he's tired of walking. :/ silly boy. We just need to leave it running for a while and hopefully catch some walking shots.
Switching subjects...have you and Traci started talking about or planning their birthday parties? I started thinking....time is flying by we better start planning something. We decided to have a party in the park, and to do a "train" theme, since there's a train depot across the street. I think our guests will really enjoy a train ride. Wish you 4 didnt live so far from us, so you could come. When are you visiting your brother in Houston?
