Jason at 9 months

I haven't blogged about Jason's accomplishments in a couple of months, and if I don't jot some of this stuff down, I know I'll forget! He turned nine months old last week, but better late than never...

- I moved Jason back into Ryan's room the other day. So far, so good, but now that I can listen to him on the monitor, I'm realizing how early he wakes up and quietly rolls around before I go in and get him. Today it was 5:45am!

- I bumped him up to 9-12 month clothes because some of his outfits were getting snug.

- I also transitioned him out of his infant carrier into a big car seat.

- He's starting to move around on his belly and rock on his hands and knees, but still no crawling.


- He'll dance on command and he'll do a two-leg kick in the pool or while being held in the air when you say, "kick!"

- He lifts his arms above his head when he wants to be picked up


- He signs "all done"


- I cut up small-ish chunks of people food for meals: bananas, mangos, green beans, black beans, peaches, plums, bread and berries so far.

- He got his first two teeth last month and got a third bottom tooth before his top two started coming in. Now he's getting the next two on the top and he spontaneously cries throughout the day, I'm assuming from pain. (It's heartbreaking!) He even woke up twice the other night crying with a runny nose and a raspy voice. I was convinced he was getting a cold, but it went away the next day.


- He's a total mama's boy and cries at church and at the gym, unless I give the workers his pacifier and blanket to comfort him. (which I hate doing b/c those are supposed to be for sleeping only)

- If we're out and about, he's very flexible about his naps and rarely fusses if he's tired. He'll just nod off quietly in his car seat if we don't make it home in time.

- He likes when I turn his highchair around so he can watch the birds in our backyard. He is fascinated by them; like we're at the zoo or something.


He is such a good, sweet boy. I love that he's such an easy baby!
