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.
