How Times have Changed 2

I forgot to mention that D can also sit up from crawling, and crawl from sitting now. I found this very exciting, of course! But, DH didn't believe me that he hasn't been doing it all along because it looked so easy!

How Times have changed

I can't believe that last year at this time I was having my first (completely surprise) baby shower. Now I have to chase D all around the house because he LOVES to get into the cat's water dish, and play with the door stop things.

He loves to eat finger foods, & I have to distract him with puffs if I want him to eat any "non-finger" food.

He also Loves to pull up on everything, but hates to sleep! The other night I put him down in his crib (hoping, praying that he'd fall asleep! he didn't) and we could hear him playing with his toys and whining every once in a while. Then, after a while, he started to YELL, so I went in to the room & he was standing up in his crib, holding the rail, and crying his eyes out. It was SO pitiful I had to pick him up.

He has also taken to blowing some serious raspberries, it makes me laugh SO much! He's turned into such a funny, busy little boy! I can't believe how blessed I am!

Random Picture Challenge

When I went back and saw that the RPC was Aug. 2008, I had to join in! Here is D after his first bath in the tub, he was about 2 weeks old. It is hard to believe he was ever that tiny!

Changes

I can not believe how fast my baby boy is changing now! He put all of the "crawling pieces" together on Wednesday, and now is a speedy army crawler. Last night I put him on the floor in the hall and after trying to crawl into the bathroom (and trying to eat every speck of anything on the carpet) he found the door stop. For a good 5 minutes (until we had to take dh's truck to work) he sat and played with it. I, of course, had to go grab my camera and take a million pics (I'll post them later)

Then, after we got home, we were sitting on the couch & dh said "Oh yeah, he has another tooth" So, stupid me, I stuck my finger in his mouth and found the new tooth. I also got bit for my trouble, we need to work on the biting thing. That brings our tooth total to 7 (5 top, 2 bottom) I miss the gummy baby grin, but the teeth are very cute!

9 Month Check-up

On Friday, before we left for camping, D had his 9 month well baby visit. It was very nice to be going to the doctor for something other than an ear infection! The other nice thing is that we find out how big the little pumpkin is! He currently weighs 22 lbs 10 oz & is 30 inches tall. (I wish I would have remembered the stroller for camping, my arms are SORE!)

He also learned how to clap when we were sitting at the office. It was quite funny!

Happy Mother's Day

At the Windy beach!
Good Job DH!

Flowers from Daycare

My DH's b-day is always right before Mother's day, so we were camping at the coast for the weekend. (More on that later) So, Mother's day consisted of some driving and unpacking, but it was fun to spend the day with DH and my little pumpkin! DH got me some beautiful flowers Sunday morning, and after we got home he took a trip to the jewelry store & got a peridot ring that I had been eyeing. All in all It was a very good first Mother's day!

Nine Months!

I can't believe how fast 9 months have Flown by! I love the stage we are at, (always do!) but I'm sad that my baby won't be my baby for too much longer.

At 9 months he:

* Still wakes up at night (though is getting better)

* Takes 2 naps a day (and often sleeps on the way home from daycare)

* Pulls up in his crib, and on anything else stationary!

* Has stood by himself exactly once

* Walks if someone is holding him

* Says babababa, lalala, and the occasional ma

* Usually waves bye-bye

* Would much rather roll than crawl

* Just tried mango, still loves his fruits & veggies

* Loves to give mommy baby kisses (and eat my hair)

* Has baths in the big tub and loves to splash

* Loves to laugh at and grab onto the cats

Pulling Up!

On Thursday I plunked D into his crib and went to go to the bano. When I came back he was holding on the bars looking at me. It was funny, so I ran to get my camera. When I came back I took a couple pics, and then I walked closer to pick him up. When I did he pulled himself right on up! He's been trying to do it for a while, but that was the first "official" time!

Finally, Better :)

Last time I was fiddiling with photoshop I wasn't paying too much attention to sizes etc. So this time I did :) Now the ratios are right, and my baby's head doesn't look all wacky!
