In a Pickle

BJ is crawling now! And look where it got him...stuck under the couch. Good thing Mommy was there to rescue him (after taking a picture of course).

I think he was actually trying to pull himself up but then got interested in the toys beside him. So he turned over and got stuck in a pickle :)

9 months

I can't believe BJ is 9 months old already. He's growing so big!! He's been wearing a few pieces of 12 month clothing for a while but he is now exclusively in 12 month clothes. I'm not sure of his weight or height but we'll find out at his 9 month appt next week. For now I just wanted to share some little tidbits of info about BJ:

• He loves to throw balls. It's his favorite game EVER.


• If you play with his face (either poking at his nose or giving him fishy lips for example) he'll just sit there, expressionless, and let you play. It is so stinkin' adorable that he just sits there.


• When he nurses he raises one arm in the air and plays with my face. He likes to grab my nose and lips. Sometimes he pulls my hair but he mostly concentrates on the face. I've also given him "high fives" which he has enjoyed.


• BJ likes to feel things. He runs his fingers across everything. When he goes to bed at night he'll stroke the sides of his crib till he falls asleep.


• Bj is not crawling. Yet. The desire is there but the ability is not. He gets up on his knees and rocks but just can't seem to take that first plunge forward. One day soon he will!


• He still just has two teeth. I feel like he's been teething forever. I'm expecting like 8 teeth to show up all at once.

I love being BJ's mommy.

Family Photos

A lot has happened this past summer. And I have not been a good blogger lately. To make the most of the few minutes I have I am just going to post two pictures - BJ's generation photos.




This is a photo of BJ's Great-Great Grandma (seated in center), Great Grandma (seated to right of Gr-Gr Grandma in green), Grandma (in teal to left of Gr-Gr Grandma) and the rest of the family.


This is a picture of my whole family at our annual chicken bbq. BJ's Great Grandma is seated in the front row. Of course, BJ and I are not looking. Oh well.



Hopefully I'll post pictures of our trip to Niagra Falls. We'll see. For now I need to go play with my son. He's growing up way too quickly!
