number nine

nine nine nine number nine... as I sit here and type this out.. it is officially 9 months since I became a mom... that is still kinda weird to say! I am someones M.O.M!
Jackson has been quite busy these 4 weeks!!
He is a crawling maniac-- he does a one knee crawl with a leg push-- apparently he goes faster that way than on bith knees! He is pulling himself up on anything he can.. he is a little bit of a dare devil.. he will just let go or try and and stretch as long as he can between furniture items!
he just poked 2 more top teeth through today!!!
We went to the doctor on Thursday for his 9 month check up-- Dr Serb was quite happy to see us :) He is great! he was crawling all over the room- trying to pull open the drawers and cabinets! There is a full length mirror behind the door- he crawled right over to it and was trying to make out with himself!
he is 21# 8oz and 29 inches long! I swore he would be heavier than that!! He is a lug to carry around!!
Just got his new car seat too! Couldn't pass up the deal at Target-- we got to use it all of 2 times before my window motor broke and the Jeep as been held up in the garage... :(

Well what else is going on around us...
Dogs and cats are still battling fleas... :( will have to treat them again...
I have been taking a zumba class- super fun!
We are slowly working on the savings challenge.. waiting patiently to talk with our coaches again.. still don't have our goal #'s yet!!

visiting last weekend...

Candy and Stan are down this weekend... it has been sadley a year since Brad left the earth... It will be a busy and sad weekend...
I haven't said it in awhile.. WEAR YOUR SEATBELTS!!!

Month number 8

Seriously where is the time going..My lil baby is turning into a lil boy soooo fast! He is so long!! We go to the doctor next week so we get all the official numbers -- his infant carrier is getting SO heavy!! He definitly won't be in it for long! We really need to get his next car seat really soon!

So what has he been up to-- he is a crawling machine!! He is pulling himself up on EVERYTHING! He can get himself up and get himself down :) He is still eating like a champ- haven't found anything yet that he doesn't like! He loves playing with his friends at daycare!

We have been enjoying the summer greatly! We have been out on the boat a bit- it has enough room for him to crawl around- which is nice! He loves splashing around in lake with dad! We went today to the Whitewater aquatic Center so J and I got some swimming in ourselves-- he LOVES the water!!! He is a kicking and splashing machine!! I will be looking into some early swim lessons for us to do :)

We went to a family wedding out on a dairy farm last week-- this is J by the HUGE tractor!!

He is working on getting tooth #3.. it is his top right tooth- there is a little white bump and of course he is drooling and chewing on everything! He has been a little hard to put down at night and staying down has been a problem.. hopefully it will be short lived!!!
