Jayden at 9 Months!

Jayden is at a super fun age right now and has changed so much recently. He has so much personality and I can tell that he is going to be a spunky little boy. He often gets really hyper... he talks, squeals, laughs, dances, and makes the funniest faces. He makes us laugh and we can’t get enough of him! Sometimes... almost daily... I can’t stop squeezing him because he is so gosh darn cute! Now that he is mobile he is all over the place and into everything! We eventually had to replace the books with toys... He still army crawls everywhere… he is getting really fast!... but he rocks on his hands and knees all the time and does the “baby yoga” pose. (bent in half…up on his feet with his palms flat on the floor... can you picture it?)He just started pulling himself up on furniture but he doesn’t know how to lower himself down yet so it can be a little dangerous! He also just started climbing the stairs. He’s only made it up two stairs so far but I think it is time to get out the baby gate!... just after writing this I found Jayden climbing the stairs... he'd made it 3 stairs from the top! I just about had a heart attack! Baby gate is going up A.S.A.P! Some other memorable things about this cute 9 month old!

• He waves and says “ha.” (well he DID… a ton… but recently won’t do it for me anymore!)


• He always is sucking on his upper lip... especially when he is concentrating... and it looks so funny!


• He gets upset when Conner steals toys from him now.


• He loves to throw toys and have us keep bringing them back to him. We have lost many toys, socks, and the occasional bottle at the grocery store because he loves to toss them out of his carseat,


• He loves to mimic us. We shake our head and he shakes his back. He will make the same sound over and over until one of us makes it back…. He gets a big grin on his face and the game continues until he loses interest.


• He is already getting a little attitude… when he is upset and we try giving him something he doesn’t want he angrily throws it.


• He babbles “mamamama” and “dadadada” all the time… love it!


• He LOVES to play with remotes. He is always lunging for them and gets mad if we take them away.


• Has 6 teeth.


• He is already a t.v. junkie. When it is on he will just sit and stare and when we turn it off he looks from us back to the t.v. like he wants us to turn it back on.


• He refuses to keep his socks on. I don’t even bother most of the time because he has them off within 2 seconds of putting them on.


• He is a really good eater…. And therefore a very good pooper…


• Whenever the Xbox is on he is obsessed with touching the button because it glows and makes a little “ding” when he touches it. To keep him from turning it off Nathan entrapped him in his toy basket… and he was pretty excited about it!


• We gave him his first haircut two weeks ago. His hair stuck straight up… really cute… but it was getting really really long so we decided it was time to tame it. He looks so much older now!


• He reaches out for us when he wants to be held and gets so excited when we pick him up that he curls himself over our shoulder, buries his face into our neck, and squeals. I LOVE his hugs!


• He will make his way down the hall into his room to play with his toys... or into the bathroom to play with Conner's potty seat...


• He is a big boy... he wears almost all 12 month clothes!We LOVE this silly little boy!
