9 Months Old!

Happy 9 months to Jake! Wow! Hard to believe! Jake has his 9 month appointment on Friday so we'll be able to give some stats as far as growth goes. I'm hoping he slows down so I can figure out what size clothes he'll be in for fall and winter!

This morning, Jake, me, and Addy went for a walk. I wanted to try going in another neighborhood instead of the same route. It was a beautiful neighborhood (reminded me of Spring Mill where Grammy & Papa live)! There was a nice cool breeze until we got to the end of our walk. We ended up walking three miles so that could explain why I thought it got hotter! Addy was exhausted, but it's best to take her on lots of walks now since in about three months or so it'll be too cold to take her on long ones.

Then we all took a family trip to the bowling alley next door. Daddy needed a study break! We thought it was going to be fine, but Jake was throwing a fit as soon as we got our shoes on and paid for THREE games a piece! He wouldn't eat food or a bottle, his diaper was just changed, and he didn't want to play with toys. Turns out all he wanted was for me to recline the stroller seat and push him up and down the bowling alley. So, Daddy bowled our first game alone while I pushed Jake. Luckily, there were just some old people bowling leagues going on, so there weren't a lot of people. Jake finally fell asleep mid way through the second game. Daddy won all the games! This was a first, but I blame it on me being worried about Jake and not concentrating! haha

After we got home, Jake woke up and played for a bit before having a LATE lunch (3:00pm). Then he went down for a real nap (until 5:30!). He was a bit off schedule to say the least. After I fed him dinner at 7:00, we all took a family walk around the block. It was chilly out and I even had to put a jacket on Jake! When we got home, Jake had a surprise poop that was everywhere, so I cleaned him up and it was in the bath tub again for him.

We did our nightly reading and he fell asleep around 8:30. Later than usual, but maybe this means he'll sleep in until 7:30am! Wishful thinking! Tomorrow, it's off to the dentist for Daddy and me!



Jake gets the hiccups!





Jake climbing on me and trying to say "Addy." He gets better and better every day! Notice when I ask him where Addy is, he turns his head right to her! I think he understands more than we think!
