JM 9 months

November - December 2016

Weight: 19lb

Length: 27

Eyes: Blue

Hair: Blonde/ redish

Daytime:  He started sitting up at the end of October and low-crawling around that same time. He now crawls on his knees, is a pro at sitting up, and is trying to pull up. Now that he is mobile he gets around very fast. He also loves to use the walker and zoom around the house that way.

He naps twice a day. In the morning around 9 and in the afternoon between 1-2. Sometimes he sleeps really well for 2+ hours, other times it's barely an hour. Typically he has one nap that's better than the other.

He is good at playing by himself. Some favorite toys are blocks, mirrors, the little people zoo animals, and his new wooden ball toy he got at Christmas. Also anything with sound and lights (cell phone, beepbo, his new turtle). And he still loves anything that crinkles.

He doesn't watch TV like his sister, but he likes when it's on; especially when there is music.

Nighttime: Everyone got sick in November and our sleep training went down the drain; then he got two new teeth. Sleep has been more erratic; some nights he is up 3 times, others just once between 12-2 to nurse. He wakes up between 5:30-6:30. Naps have also been more rocky; he only naps twice and only well once. Lately his good nap has been in the morning.

Eating: He is nursing 4-5 times a day now. He started eating food a little after 6 months and loves it. You can not feed him fast enough. He loves finger foods and feeding himself. He also eats packets. He likes puffs and teething crackers; mostly because they're foods he doesn't need any help with. He loves sweet potato.

Much less spitting up; now it's mostly when he is teething. And he burps better; although I think some of his sleep troubles are still gas related.

Other fun stuff: He is a sitter, very mobile.

He is going through a stage of wanting Mom and Dad in sight and not liking strangers; especially women or anyone loud.

JM: 8 Months

October - November 2016

Another month where I did not write things down. I think these two months got away from me because J was actually flying some trips, and we had a lot of company (and who wants to sit writing at a computer with family visiting?!).

His second beach trip occurred while Luke & Sara were vising.

Celebrated his first Halloween. He didn't have a costume, but he went out around the neighborhood to watch C trick-or-treat for the first time.

I think towards the end of the month everyone got sick with a bad, never ending cold which interrupted life quite badly.

JM: 7 Months

September - October 2016

I did not record anything specific when JM turned 7 months. But I do have some great pictures. Although his 7 month photo shoot happened about 2 weeks after the fact. 

He did have his first food; green beans. He took a little bit to warm up to the idea of food, but not long. 

He went to his first pumpkin patch and got his first pumpkin. 

Gigi and Papa came for a visit!
