Sterling is SO big!!!

 

Spring has arrived!!!

 

Flowers are blooming and the temperature is finally above 50 degrees! We've been busy planting our tiny garden (Erica's little project this summer), taking Sterling to the park and going on hikes (Garden of the Gods & Chetenne Mtn. Park). Sterling loves the swing!

Curious George

Now that I am an independent and mobile little boy I am interested in EVERYTHING!

Easter 2009

We LOVED our Easter baskets! Who knew empty plastic Easter eggs could be so entertaining? Nice work on the outfit dad (dad picked out and purchased outfit solo)!

It was bound to happen...

We are now officially members of the "My PC crashed!" club. Thus, we haven't been able to post any recent Sterling/ Scott family photos. We are in the process of replacing the motherboard so in the interim I will just give you a quick update.

Sterling is now 10 1/2 months old, just a ton of fun and into everything (his toy box, the refrigerator, the bathroom trash, etc)! It's funny, I've noticed this direct relationship between Sterling gaining freedom and mom and dad loosing some. We now have to walk through baby gates, use a key to open kitchen cabinets, remove plastic covers to plug in the laptop/ vaccum, etc. He's crawling at feverish pace and is now cruising along the furniture like a pro. He's working on his 5th tooth and is wearing 18 month clothes. I swear he must be drinking protein shakes in his crib at night because he's still not a big eater (although we LOVE finger food/ feeding ourself)! We haven't measured/ weighed him lately but I would guess he's around 26ish pounds. He loves to talk (or babble) and feed JohnBoy his cheerios. Our 1st birthday is just over a month away! Where did the time go?

9 Month Pictures

Sterling's 9 month pictures have arrived! What a fun photo session! Nana and Afi joined us and we had a lot of fun. We had the 2nd part of the session outside and it was FREEZING so we cut it a little short. I think the photographer really captured some great moments. I especially love the picture of Eric holding Sterling high in the air. I swear it's a Baby Gap ad and I'm not gloating because I'm his mama (ok maybe I am a little). :-)

Sterling 9 Month Check-Up

Erica took Sterling to his 9-month checkup today. Everything went well, and Sterling continues to surf the top of the growth charts...

Height: 30 1/2 in (97th percentile)
Weight: 24 lbs 3 oz (95th percentile)
Head Circ: 19 1/3 in (97th+ percentile)

I am completely biased, but I also rank him as 97th+ percentile for awwwwwwwwwww-he-is-soooooooo-cute-ness.

Sterling is Mobile

Sterling - Reading with Mommy

Here Comes the Sun

Stylish? Always. Drooling? Often. Adorable? You be the judge.

Just having fun!

8 Months Old!

New favorite food - Avocado (weird?)
Future hunk? We think so. :-)
I LOVE airplane...and drooling on mommy.
NAKED TIME!

Cluckin' Around

Daddy is obviously a weirdo. Sterling seems to enjoy chickens.

I have teeth!

My first 2 teeth both arrived at the same time!

The Animals Have Something to Say

Ohhhh, new toy!
I like to spin the wheel!
Mmmmm, tastes good too!

Goofing Around

Daddy, PLEASE throw my toy!
JohnBoy is so funny!
I don't know what this big plastic thing is but I like it!

Sterling 6 Month Pics

Here are Sterling's 6 month pictures...a little late but they finally arrived.  We had a lot of fun during this photo shoot and little Sterling was such a trooper!  He had 4 wardrobe changes!  That will probably be the last time that happens. :-)

Holiday/ Housewarming/ Hat Night Party

It took us a few months but we FINALLY had our housewarming party! Our hat box was starting to collect some dust so we thought it was time to introduce Sterling to "Hat Night" and he loved it!

Sterling @ 6 Months

Sterling had his 6-month physical/check-up recently...along with another series of vaccinations (ouch). He was a trooper, even more so than usual, and he also continues to grow at quite a pace:

Length: 28.5 inches (97%)
Weight: 20 lbs 11 oz (95%)
Head Circ: 18.5 inches (99+%)

He has a gigantor Scott-noggin' to be sure. Methinks Erica is not lamenting the C-Section anymore...ay, caramba.

He is a happy and healthy baby boy, and we couldn't be more thankful.

Susie's B-Day Bash!

We celebrated Susie's 30th (teehee) birthday at the Tavern. What a great place! Cool ambiance and jazzy tunes. We had some delicious food/ wine and even did a little dancing. Happy birthday miss Susie/ Nana! We love you!
