I know, I know! Two and a half months have gone by and I haven't written! What can I say? Chasing after a little baby is CRAZY HARD work! I never thought I would get more excersize chasing after a baby then any other time! :)
So Jaybers (or as I've been calling him lately, Toots) is now 9 1/2 months old! And crawling! Can you believe it!? He is a crawling MONSTER! He LOVES to explore and go just about anywhere he pleases. He loves to play the game "Lets see how far up the stairs I can get before Mommy catches me". And then he gets mad when I put the baby gate up, hahaha! Mommy wins, always! lol.
He has also figured out, that when he's in the high chair, there is always a dog near by that would love some food. So what does he do? He grabs a handful of whatever is on his tray, and throws it to the floor for the dog(s). Or he'll grab a handful and put it on the chair next to him - which then usually falls onto the floor. It's driving me crazy! I swear, when mom cursed me with "I hope you have a kid just like you!", I got worse. This kid is SO much more stubborn then I ever was!
Last week, mom and I were sitting at the table across from eachother, and Jay wanted up on my lap, so I picked him up. He then proceeded to crawl up onto the table. Ok, no big deal. Dinner had been cleared off, and Jay wanted to see Grandma - he crawled over to her. Then Jay then starts to crawl down the long length of the table, towards the chips. Mom pulls jay away from them. Jay heads off for them again. I pull jay away from them. He heads for them AGAIN. Mom puts the chips in dads chair, I pull Jay away. Jay heads for them again. This game went on for about 5 minutes probably - and Jay NEVER gave up on getting to those chips. He wanted those chips and there was no way we were gonna stop him - he was gonna get them one way or another. lol. When this kid decides that he wants something - he goes for it. Which I guess in the long run of life, thats a good thing, right? But right now, its just stubborness, and with both of our stubbornesses (is that a word?) its double strong, lol. :)
Jay will be one years old in 2 1/2 months - and I cant believe how fast time has gone by! I still find it hard to believe sometimes that we're parents! I never thought that at 24 I'd be a mom - and loving every snotty nose, poopy diaper, screaming crying and hair wrenching moment of it :)
... speaking of poopy diapers, I smell one now, whew! So I better go. Sorry there aren't any pictures this time. The upload thing isn't working for me. I'll post some in a few days though, ok? I LOVE YOU! and BE SAFE!
