Go Big or Go Home!

Jason did go big this past weekend. Friday afternoon he was gnawing on my finger when I thought I felt something sharp on his gum. Sure enough there was a little bitty ridge of a tooth poking through. At first Jeff didn't believe me since people have told us he is teething for the past 7 months. Over the weekend the tooth emerged more. He has been dealing with it alright, but I think we have restarted some of our sleep issues.

Over the weekend Jason also decided it was time to get off his butt and go! Yes, ladies and gentlemen we have a crawler. He is still a little wobbly, but with the right motivation he will crawl. His favorite thing to go after is the Christmas tree and wires. I ran around the house yesterday baby proofing as best I could.

A while ago Jason discovered he could stand in his crib holding on to the railing. I though oh this is cute and he loves to do it. Now instead of sleeping he is standing and calling out for us all night. I am not sure he even knows how to get himself down. We may have to look into doing some more sleep training with him in the next week or so.

Nine Months Old!



Where did my baby go? I know I start just about every monthly post with this, but seriously he is looking and acting more and more like a little boy lately. Almost every morning when we go in to get him he is standing at the railing of his crib. Today he had not even been crying out for a minute when Jeff went to get him and sure enough he was standing up waiting for him. In fact when I want to get him into a better mood we go in there and he shows off how great he is at standing up.



Jason scoots around the floor like no ones business. He isn't crawling yet, and honestly I thought he would be. He doesn't let that stop him. Jason goes from the back scoot to the back crawl to sitting and scooting to get all around any room. He might be one of those babies who skips crawling to go right to standing. His next development is anybody's guess. Last week he just randomly started clapping. Now he has gotten the hang of it and claps when others do. It is the cutest thing and he is so proud of himself.

Tigger says Happy Halloween

Jason was the cutest little Tigger for Halloween this year. We didn't go out trick or treating because Jason didn't need to be out in the cold or the candy (neither did Mom and Dad.) He did wear his costume all day on Saturday and we got quite a few comments on how cute he is.



We also went to a Halloween party on Friday. There were 2 other Tiggers there!!! We were so surprised that Jason wasn't an original. Jason really did enjoy watching the other kids playing, especially the bigger ones.



Since Thanksgiving is celebrated early here all the stores are getting out the Christmas stuff. Jeff and I even went out and got a fake tree this weekend. Jason loves to run into it in his walker and we are trying to train him to stop doing that. I haven't quite put on the Christmas music yet, but I am seriously considering it.
