9 months!!

I know I have not been a very good blogger lately...sorry! I am getting back on track this week. J.David turned 9 months yesterday!! He is weighing in at 17lb 9oz (10%) and 28 1/4 in. long (50%). If I could only use one word to describe this past month, I would have to use FUN!! It is a small word but holds so much meaning...especially this month. This month he has learned how to:

Crawl (a mix of army style and regular...ha ha ha)

He has gotten SIX teeth this month (he now has a total of SEVEN!!!)

He "talks" constantly in small syllables

He is trying to and occasionally will say a version of Jaxon (our dog, he LOVES the dog)

He is eating more table food items, and feeding himself

He loves any kind of snack...cheerios, puffs (he can't see the box without hyperventilating)

He is pulling up on EVERYTHING!!

He waves Hi and Bye bye...not always at the right time though

And he has a new love for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and the Backyardagins.

But I have to say one of my most favorite developments of the month has been his sense of humor. He has this precious sense of humor that is so fun to play with and makes me laugh out of nowhere everyday. The picture below is of his new funny face....ha ha ha...you can't help but laugh. He will smirk b/c he knows you think it's funny, and then does it more after he gets the laughter he was anticipating. SO CUTE!!

FUNNY FACES!!

Pap-pa and J.David supporting the CARDS!!

Mommy and J.David hiding out in the bank for the second time this year trying to hide from the rain as we walked to the ball game. ha ha ha. That night we did see a game though, no delays.

J.David and Jaxon both patiently awaiting a treat...ha ha ha.

Oh how life is quickly changing...

This is what we woke up to this morning! And I of course had to leave him in there crying so I could grab the camera..ha ha ha. Good thing we lowered the crib last weekend!! My little creepy crawler is now pulling up on everything, including his bed!! Oh how life is quickly changing....

Just a few funnies...

Here are a few pictures from the weekend. We had a great time getting to spend time with Daddy over the weekend. He has been gone most of June so we just hung out, had family time, and made the most of the time we had. We bought a new box of diapers and discovered that even J.David is all about going GREEN...he reused the box as a new toy!! Way to go son! ha ha ha.

The next picture is what happens when J.David and the wallet are left on the bed. ha ha ha. This boy is getting into EVERYTHING these days!! I love it b/c you can really see his personality and sense of humor coming out, but it is tiring!! ha ha ha. I get my cardio from simply chasing him around the house!

And last, is how I found him asleep for his nap yesterday. He has been fighting naps more than ever and even now associates his room with naps. So he of course holds on SUPER tight to me and cries when we go in his room, even just to change a diaper. It is kind of funny. Then once I put him in the crib he turns, faces the door, and pulls down on the bumper so he can see the door and cries! I guess in this picture he fell asleep before finishing the fight! ha ha ha.

Another funny to end on....Last night when I put him to bed he waited about 5-10 minutes, then started what sounded like scoulding. He was using his da-da, ba-ba, la-la words in different tones and it really sounded like he was telling me how upset he was about going bed! It was SOOO funny. I had Morgan on the phone and held him up to the door so he could enjoy it with me. Then after J.David felt he had said enough, he rolled over and went to bed! ha ha ha...I love being his mom!!
