8 Months Old!!

I can't believe he's already 8 months old.


Time keeps on flying by, whether I like it or not my baby boy is growing and growing fast. He has mastered the art of crawling normally, sitting up on his own and his new trick he has recently mastered, crawling up on stuff to start to stand and slowing learning to move a little bit, cruising or whatever they call it. Oh joy, even more baby proofing work for me to do now. He's learning things so fast now, He talks constantly, loves blowing spit bubbles and is getting better and better at his belches. Jayden is becomming even a bigger handful, I was hoping he would calm down a little bit, but who am I kidding look at who his daddy is. His daddy never stops.


I was in the kitchen and i heard Jayden giggle (which usually means he's up to no good) well i go in the living room and didn't seem him and got a little worried, well then i looked up and low and behold there he was, standing up. I was kinda sad i didn't get to see him climb up it the first time but still pretty exciting.





Also, We headed to the doctor yesterday to get completely caught up on this immunizations, until he's a year old at least, he was pretty good. Of course he flirted with the two nurses doing the measuring and the weighing. Jayden is already a heart throb. Anyways, He weighed in at over 20 1/2 lbs and 28 inches. He dropped from the 90th percentile to the 75th but doc said since he's so active now his weight will be more stable and won't gain so much like he has been. Whew, relief for me, I'm glad he's slowing down, we can't keep clothes that fit him in stock. So we were in there and apparently he's turning orange, since he's being eating a lot of carrots and sweet potatoes lately they can actually start to change skin color if they eat enough. Rather funny. So he got his shots, cried for literaly 2 seconds and he was done.




He has officially 4 teeth through on the bottom, and 2 almost all the way through on the top and then 2 maybe 4 more still moving in. He hasn't been as grumpy though which is a blessing. He sleeps till 7 in the morning for me and wakes me up with his awesome squeal he does now. Oh the joys of Motherhood. He also is such a little weirdo, he has this thing he does, he gets into a position where it looks like he's trying to do a head stand and then will stay that way and play with a toy, watch you or just kind walk in circles. I was finally able to get a good video in all his glory.

Fireworks

That night we all loaded up and headed to the park for some magnificent fireworks. Even if they are rather puny compared to the big cities, I still love the fireworks. It is hands down my favorite day of the whole year.

Jayden waiting to get fed, as soon as he sees his food, he stays fixated. We were hoping with a full tummy he'd be able to keep focuses on the fireworks. Not so much.

Part of my family, waiting for the Boom Boom display

Jayden loved playing around, watching all the people, watching their fireworks, the grass the whole thing. He never stopped, so once the fireworks started, within 5 minutes he fell asleep. I was amazed he usually doesn't handle loud noises when he's sleeping, but he zonked out and was even snoring. I hope next year he'll be able to appreciate it a little bit more.

Just a couple pictures we caught with our camera. Its pretty cool all the stuff our camera can do.

4th Of July weekend

For the 4th, my family and us headed first down to the parade, which amazingly Jayden seemed to really enjoy. None of the sirens scared him, he would just stare at everything, it was rather funny, he really hardly moved. It was pretty fun, really long parade but I was just glad Jayden was enjoyed it.


We tried to keep as much sun off of him as possible since i forgot to take his sun tan lotion..oops


Hanging out with Grandpa, Jayden has this thing with beards and mustaches, he will pull and, yes he does pull out the hair, ask his daddy. :)


He was not only amazed with the parade but with so many people around he just couldn't' keep up with all the staring he thought he needed to do.


Hanging out with Grandma, and two of my brothers Jason and Tyler watching the parade


One of my other brothers, Mykel on the left, and pretty sure this is when Jayden was trying to get the the licorice my mom was holding. Either way good times.


Pretty sure he was the smartest of us all, he chilled in the back of the car out of the sun. I call it a party pooper, whats a parade without a sunburn. :)

Randomness

I've decided that I am terrible at keeping this updated, but hey at least i get to it once a month right.




Pretty sure Jayden thinks he's the cutest kid around, whenever he sees me pull the camera out he all the sudden starts to pull these cute faces or he trys to attack me to eat it. I get a couple cute ones though








He just loves his remote control, pretty sure if we took it apart a steady stream of drool would come out, whatever entertains him though right.

He's really starting to like to be on the 4 wheelers, he just loves to be outside and look around.
