9 Months Old

Jesse is nine months old today! I can't believe how the time has flown by! And to all those books and people who say things like "Just remember it took nine months to put on all that weight it's going to take at least that long to take it off..." Well they're full of crapola. It has been exactly nine months since my beautiful baby boy was born and I am just as lumpy and chunky as ever...but enough about me and bathing suit woes here are some facts about Jesse the nine month old wonder!

• He is rolling all over the house which is fun to watch but also translates into him eating the insurance bill the other day because I left the room to use the potty.
• He can get up into the "crawl" position but has yet to achieve locomotion.
• He can usually grasp a small puff (cereal type product) with his thumb and pointer and get it successfully in his mouth. Other times it gets caught in his fist and he just shoves his whole fist in and out of his mouth hoping the puff with magically find it's way into his mouth.
• Jesse likes to repeat actions and sounds. My favorite is this toy we have that sings Ba ba black sheep and when he hears it Jesse sings, "Ba ba ba ba...." so cute
• He has just started to "miss" me when I leave a room or the house to go somewhere. This is hard but on the up side he also gets very excited when I come back. Big smiles and arms out to let me know he wants me to hold him. Maybe someday when I have like 40 kids and they are all like "mom mom mom mom" I will not enjoy this but now it is pretty much my favorite thing.

I am sure there is a bunch more but I hear him waking up now so I have to go. Happy 9 months Jesse!
