Ok.... Here it goes! My FIRST blog post! I have been looking forward to this and I am just now finding the time to do it. The main objective is to keep up with all of these memories that we are creating as a family (and stop annoying people with all the pictures i upload to fb... I have a huge fear of loosing precious photographs) :)

Jack is NINE months!!

For some reason this is a big "birthday" to me.  I don't know what it is.  I guess because he was in my belly for about this long and at the time it just seemed so far away. Then you blink and it's here. Crazy. Crazy. 

Jack's Facts

*Weighing in at about 26 lbs. 

*Fitting comfortably (gigantic legs and booty) in 18 mo. clothing 

*Wearing size 5 Diaps. 

*Waving bye bye to everyone and everything (even in his sleep). 

*Just started crawling on his knees today! He had been doing army crawl for several weeks and woke up and decided today was the day.

*First pull up was like last week as i was putting guard on the edges of our fireplace. Just gave him incentive i guess. 

*Sleeping habits from day one have been great at night. Here lately its been a little tougher for naps since he can now go from laying to sitting and entertain himself by playing with and destroying his bumper. 

*Favorite food to date: turkey/carrot/apple combo. (extra bland, extra nasty... It'd be a lot better with sriracha or jappys... we will work up to that)

*He is all boy... VERY rough and pretty tough.  

*Pretty sure he is left handed. A lot of people say there is no way that you can tell at this age, but he does EVERYTHING with his left hand. Drumming, eating, waving... If I stick something in his right hand he immediately puts it in his left.  Gonna have to adapt to a right handed world little buddy :(

Here's the little sweetie...

Waving non-stop (left hand of coarse)

Love his sleeping position.... Love that booty :)

The little booger finally learning to use his knees...
