9 months old.......

Where did the past 9 months go and why did they go by so fast?! It's been so fun watching Jaylen grow and do new things each week. I'm still amazed at what babies can do and learn at such a young age and how they develop just as they should. God really knew what he was doing when he created us! We went to dinner with Gavan's parents tonight and after we got home she was in such a good mood tonight that we just sat in her nursery and watched her play. She's very close to crawling and loves pulling up on things, which is her newest discovery. She got her first boo-boo over the weekend while she was learning to crawl. She gets her left foot stuck up under her each time and she gave herself a carpet burn trying to get it out from under her over and over! It's not easy getting a band aid on the pinky toe of a 9 month old either! We go to the doctor on Friday for her checkup so we'll get her stats then.


We had a busy weekend cause Gavan and I, his 2 brothers and their wives all threw his parents a surprise 40th anniversary party. It was a great success.........1) it was a total surprise to Bev & Dennis 2) we had almost 60 people attend 3) us sis-in-laws didn't get into any fights over anything and 4) everything we had planned went smooth. It was a lot of work but lots of fun.


Here are some pics from the past week and tonight. Enjoy!


with Grandma & Grandpa at Earl's........

yes, i'm wiping her while she's standing up cause she just had a blowout that required this.......notice the plastic bag needed to toss the diaper immediately.

after the above incident she went straight into the tub.....

pulling up.......her new favorite thing........her face is priceless.....i love it!

i helped her stand cause she can only pull up to her knees right now.........she thinks she's such a big girl!

starting to get into the crawling position....

pulling up on her crib......

again......i helped her with this one.

she just now discovered the basket of toys below her bed......she emptied the entire thing!

She is adorable guys. I have been following your blog for awhile and I finally got one of my own. I can't believe she is already 9 months! So sweet.
