Jaxten is 9 months old!


Jaxten, you are 9 months old!



I am so very thankful to have you.  You are such a blessing sent straight from God and your dad and I cherish everyday with you.  Here are some fun facts about you this month!

*We went to the doctor today and you weighed 18lb 15oz!!  That's only in the 25th percentile, which means you are little.  What???  Have they seen your thighs?!? lol

*You were 27 1/2in long which is also in the 25 percentile.  But we knew you were kinda short already!

*You are wearing pretty much all 9 month or 9-12 month clothes now. 

*You are still in a size 3 diaper, but I have been thinking about putting a size 4 on at night.

*You have FINALLY started sleeping all night again.  You went through a period of about 7 weeks of waking up several times every night.  Mommy and daddy are so grateful you decided to stop doing that! (It may have helped since I started putting you in your own room at night instead of in our room! I was being selfish, I know ;) ) You take 2-3 naps every day too.

*You seem to be weaning yourself off of my milk since you only want to nurse once a day.  You drink 4-5 bottles of formula during the day and eat baby food for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  I have been trying to make most of your food and you like it really well.  We just started puff and yogurt melts this past weekend and you LOVE them.  You can grab them with your cute little fingers and put them right in your mouth!  We have started offering some table foods too like pinches of bread or pancakes.  You tried chicken today and loved it too.  You don't have any teeth yet but you sure do chew and gum everything really good!

*It snowed in Pigeon Forge while we were there.  It was your first time seeing snow but I'm not sure you really cared too much.

*You said "dada" for the first time in the car on the way to Gatlinburg. 

*You have been crawling really well over the past month.  You have also started pulling up on everything!  Caden took his first steps at 9 months and 3 days old.  I don't think it will be too much longer before you start trying to walk!

It is getting so much harder to take your monthly pictures! You are all over the place and it's hard to get you to sit still even for a few seconds to take snap a picture.  Every day with you is so much fun and even though we've technically done all this before with your brother, it's all brand new for us again because you two are different in many ways!  We love you!!


(Almost every picture we took for the 9month shot have this wooden painted fish in it because he was ABSOLUTELY NOT going to sit down until I handed him the fish!)
