Hey Jax...that's what we are calling you these days...
My oh my, where has the time gone, you are 9 months old!
Here are your monthly in a chair pictures... You are just too stinkin' cute!
These pictures look great, if I do say so my self...but they weren't easy to get. You are quite the mover these days. You spent most of the 'photo shoot' doing this...
and this...
some downward dog...apparently you like yoga and no one has told you, 9 month old huge babes shouldn't be trying to walk...crazy baby!
stretching...and not amused that I am discouraging your attempts to walk
So you are crawling...wow!
You have 4 teeth...I thought you would never get those suckers in!
You are still drooling like crazy...so maybe more teeth are on there way?
We have just started giving you puffs with your dinner, so you are learning to chew and feed yourself.
You eat three baby food meals a day and you love yogurt!
You are still breastfeeding...and not taking any kind of cup or bottle...I really need to get you working on that.
You are sleeping through the night (you only wake if you get your head shoved into the corner), you are also sharing a room with your brother rather successfully.
You weigh 26 lbs. and are 30.5" long
You are wearing 18-24 month clothes and 2T feety PJ's...it's what we had from your brother and they aren't that big so you are wearing them...tall boy!
You are super friendly and love to show people you can clap. You are figuring out how to wave and all the attention that that brings.
You have a great smile and big blue eyes so every passing woman swoons...look out ladies!
You love wrestling with your Daddy and Brother...you especially love jumping on Jake!
This month I wanted to try something different with your pictures, I saw a cute picture of a baby in a bowl of cereal on-line and thought...hey we love cereal! Your Daddy and I have special night time cereal dates. So I got the biggest bowl in our house, poured 'Apple Jack's" (get it?!) in to the bowl and tried to set you in it. You too big for the bowl, you just sat on top of the cereal and your legs hung over the front...I couldn't' stop laughing!
So, plan B...set you next to the bowl and cereal and let you have the time of your life flinging it everywhere. Your brother was running around saying, "oh no, Jax is making a big mess...oh no!" and picking up the cereal. You had a blast and I have a blast taking pictures...win win. Life lesson: sometimes plan B's work out better then plan A's!
So happy to make a mess
Look at that concentration!
lovin it!
I love this shot...
What is this stuff?
Digging in with both hands
Distracted by Jake
Intense
This might be my favorite shot...please ignore the crooked frames on the wall...we were in the process of moving and hanging more frames...
I love that sweet smile!
playing in cereal is serious business...
love some black and white!
Success...you threw all the cereal out of the bowl!
These past 9 months haven't been easy, but I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the baby tunnel. Don't get me wrong babies are great...if you like not sleeping and not being able to go on a date and crying. Babies snuggle and smell sweet and have soft sweet cries. So they aren't all bad. I'm just not much of a baby person. You are becoming super fun. You giggle, interact and can express your self a little. Please don't take this the wrong way, I love you with all of my heart! You are a part of me, I would do anything for you! I just really enjoy kids more than infants. I love playing and running in the park and teaching and learning and reasoning and all that goes along with being a kid! Life is really starting to get interesting, you can move where you want and you are learning to communicate with your crazy expressions! I better hold on...life with two mobile boys is sure going to be busy! You are a joy my boy I can't believe you are 9 months old!
Love,
Mommy...I better start planning your birthday party!
