9 Months



I cannot believe our baby is 9 months old!  So much so that I first titled this blog 8 months, oops! He is such a joy and we are so blessed to have him.  It is so wonderful to watch him grow and change every day.  With each passing day he looks more and more like a boy and less like a baby.  At times it makes me sad but I am so excited to see what will come next and so happy to have such a perfect healthy baby boy! 
This Month…
-          Learned to crawl – and crawl everywhere.  Including up the stairs from the den. 
-          Trying new foods (at least in the whole fashion vs. baby food) bananas, bread, watermelon(which he loves!)
-          Pulling up – James Darren pulls up on anything and everything that will be still long enough  including but not limited to your legs, the highchair, the couch, the footstool, the side of the bathtub, EVERYTHING. 
-          He is beginning to understand when you tell him something – If you tell him no he will stop at least momentarily, however this is usually followed by cries.  “How dare I take away an electrical cord, it is the best toy ever!” Anyway…
-          We are still working on the sippy cup but I think he is doing better. 
-          Sleeping from 8ish-6ish and takes 2 naps a day each about 1 ½ - 3 hours
-          Has 3 x 6 oz bottles a day, 4 containers of baby food, 2 bowls of cereal and a number of puffs. 
-          James Darren still loves running with me which makes me very happy!  We run a few times a week.  Last week we did 6 miles that is our longest run so far J

We have new changes coming to our lives in the next few weeks!  James Darren is going to start Preschool on September 4th.  We are so excited that he will be going to a wonderful school and get to play with his good friend Kate.  Prayers that the transition goes well are appreciated. 


Such a sweet boy!  I love that face!

He has decided he likes to lay in the bathtub.
