Jared Nine Months


This was a huge month for Jared developmental. Here is the latest info:

1)   He waves and claps. At the Easter service he was clapping to the music… so adorable.
2)   Jared has turned a corner with solid food. He will now at least eat something every meal and has started having a morning and afternoon snack. We still have to give him something to self feed so that we can get spoon in his month, but he will now will open his month for us once he decided that what we are offering is acceptable.
3)   Still no crawling, but he tolerates being on his stomach for short periods of time and he pushes himself backwards. He also moves around in the sitting position, but he mostly just spins himself around. He still loves to stand and is starting to slowly move around furniture.
4)   He still wakes up once in the night to feed. He is also in a habit of getting up for the day at 5:30am…. A habit we are trying to break.
5)   He loves story time before naps. His favorite books are ‘Eyes, Nose, Toes, Peek-a-boo’ (he giggles at it every time) and ‘Have You Ever Tickled a Tiger?’
6)   He gives the best hugs…He will just snuggle into your shoulder. I love it!
7)   He has been teething and his two top teeth are just below the surface.

Soccer




 On March 31st, I (Ryan) took Micah to his first Major League Soccer game (and mine too!) to see Toronto FC play the Columbus Crew. It was quite the trip to get there from our apartment in Yorkville as it took about an hour by subway and bus to get to  BMO Field. Micah was very excited to go and he watched the the game intently, asking me often to explain what was happening.




Near the end of the first half, we got to see a penalty shot taken by Columbus (on an awful call by the ref), which the TFC keeper saved. After hotdogs at half time, Micah was done so we went to a near-by park and then went home.
