9 Months Old

Well, I know it’s been quite a while since I updated my blog. It’s been so hard to find time during the day and after Jack goes to bed I’m usually so worn out I don’t feel like doing anything. So, Jack is 9 months old. I can’t believe how time flies. Here’s an update as to what he is doing at 9 months.

· He weighs 17 lbs. 6 oz. and is in the 25% for his height & weight. (He’s a bit on the small side.)
· He got his first tooth about 3 weeks ago.
· He is crawling all over the place and pulls up on everything. 
· He is one of the most ticklish babies I’ve ever been around.
· He can wave bye-bye.
· He loves to be outside, and I think our walk after dinner is his favorite part of the day.
· He still won’t eat anything but very pureed baby food. When I give him little star snacks or pieces of banana, he acts like he is chocking.

Happy Birthday Hadlee Jane!

Today is my niece’s third birthday. I can’t believe she is 3 already. It seems like just yesterday I was driving to the hospital to see her after she was born. Here are some funny thinks she says that I thought I would write down in honor of her birthday. 

*Hadlee told Jennifer that Jack was her best friend.  Awww!

*Hadlee took all of Jacks toys away from him the other day, and when my Mom asked her what she was doing she told her she was taking them away because ‘He will spit puke on them’.

*A couple of months ago, when it snowed, Canaan was playing out it the snow with a neighbor. Hadlee asked my Mom ‘Is that Brother Bear outside?’. (She calls Canaan ‘Brother Bear’.) My Mom told her yes. Then she asked my Mom ‘Is that me outside?’ 

*The other day my sister went through the drive through at McDonald's and got a snack for the kids and one Dr. Pepper for the both of them to share. I guess Canaan wasn’t sharing the drink with her as much as she though he should, and she told her Mom ‘This is ridiculous… I don’t have a drink.’

 

Oh how I love that girl! Happy Birthday to my sweet Hadlee Jane!

Call the Doctor

Jack had his first experience with sickness this week. He woke up Monday morning with a cough. I called the doctor immediately, thinking he has something horrible. I spoke to the nurse who assured me he was okay and from the symptoms I described, just had a little cold or virus. Nothing to do but give him Tylenol and keep the humidifier going. I think he’s done very well to go for 7 months without getting sick. He is feeling much better today, but we can’t say the same for Daddy.
