Zara and Gabe are 9 months old!

We’re a bit behind in posting pictures so below are photos from Gabe & Zara’s 8th month! They have grown so much and every day is different! We’re having a blast with the kids and enjoy watching them explore everything.

We took the kids to swimming lessons in November. It was pretty funny to watch them splash and try to drink the pool! It was a bit crazy getting all 4 of us dressed and ready after the lesson but seeing how much fun they were having made it worth it. We’ll try to sign up for more lessons in the spring!

We had a very low key Thanksgiving. The kids ate their first meat, turkey, and didn’t really love it!

After Thanksgiving, Zvonimir spent a few weeks in Asia for work. Fortunately, our nanny, Willow was able to put in extra hours to help me during the week.

I was alone over the weekend and Gabe learned how to stand up in his crib. Unfortunately, we had the crib bed on the highest setting and I had no clue how to lower it. I was worried Gabe would fall out of the crib so I Googled the instructions to figure out how to lower the bed before their next nap.

I put Gabe and Zara in their enclosed play area in the living room and set off to lower the bed. They were both screaming but I knew they were safe because they have a gated play area that has outlet covers and nothing dangerous in the area. After a little while I heard muffled screams and ran to the living room to find Gabe’s feet sticking out of the toy box. He had climbed up and fell head first into the toy box. Needless to say, the toy box is no longer in their play area!! In hindsight it was a pretty funny scene and I wish I had a camera handy!
