We have a camera again!!!!!

It's been hard not having a camera for a month! Jase has four teeth now. He has started waking up at least once in the night to nurse, so just like I thought it was only temporary. He is getting really good at standing all by himself for up to a minute. He can even hold things and shake them while he is standing alone. He is ten months old and I just can't believe in less than two months he will be ONE!!!!!!!! Time flies.

Here he is sucking/chewing on some frozen peaches with his mesh feeder.

Self portrait.
MOTHER quit kissing me!!!!!
Tasty yogurt times
He has a temper and here he is getting mad that he can't reach the toys on the back of the coffee table! He gets very angry with us if we tell him not to touch something and he literally tells us off! If we only knew what he was telling us while he is screaming at us. I will be so glad when he stops putting EVERYTHING in his mouth! His saliva messes up the ear piece of my cellphone so it makes people sound like they are far in a deep tunnel for a day then I guess it dries up and goes back to normal.

9 and a half months

Jase is really showing off his skills lately. He loves to practice standing by himself but no steps alone just yet. He picks up food with his fingers and feeds himself. I still make his baby food and I feed that to him, I am not ready to deal with all the mess that comes with them feeding themselves. He has three new teeth coming through, two on the top and one on bottom next to the two that he already has. He has been sleeping without waking me up for the past few nights (which is 13 or more hours at a time). Of course I still wake up in a panic and I also know that this sleeping thing will change without any warning. He loves to have books read to him and gets very angry if you stop. He also loves to "read" his books and turns the pages all by himself. He still enjoys jumping in his jumperoo but not for too long because he is always on the move with crawling and cruising around. With all this activity he takes two naps a day and goes to bed at 7pm. Enjoy the photos!
My handsome fellow ready to party.
He insists on standing up by himself and will push your hands off of him.
Don't you just want to squeeze and bite those arms.

Just hanging out with Abuelito
So cool in the shirt Titi Maria gave him from Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
Always smiling!
Maybe the Offensive Lineman on a football team one day. Go Irish and Dawgs!!!!!!
They have me caged up in here.

So Sweet

Beach Time

My sister flew down for Boston for the weekend. Friday we headed to Charleston for the weekend. This was Jase's second time at the beach and he had a great time. Here are a few pics from the trip.
Tea time!

Daddy and I having fun in the ocean

It was really tiring.

Me and my cousin Elektra. Gotta watch out for her she likes to squeeze me real hard.
They had this playground in the backyard of the beach house. Abuelita enjoyed pushing me in the swing but not as much as I enjoyed her doing it.
Check out Daddy and Chopper in the golf cart. This made mommy laugh really hard.
Me, mommy and Titi Maria just relaxing in the sun.
One big happy family!

Nine Months Old

Jase had his nine month check up yesterday and he weighs 24.6 lbs and is 28 1/2 which to me equals...BUTTERBALL! He only got one shot which was so much better than the four he had gotten all the other times. When the doctor looked in his mouth at his gums all she could say was "oh wow"...which to meant..."holy cow he has a lot of teeth trying to come down and out!" Here is a little video that I took so you could see him crawl and stand, the rest was not part of the plan.

Tragedy

Our camera is broken!!!! We have to send the lense to Nikon for them to evaluate it and determine if it can be fixed. Sigh. So here are a couple pictures that were taken before it broke.
I have made my first two batches of baby food for Jase. I steamed parsnips and apples and pureed them, which is very tasty but the consistancy is not right for Jase because he just gags while it's in his throat. So that has to be mixed with creamier substance so he can swallow it. The favorite food so far is the Butternut Squash I made him. He gets very excited and even cried when it was all gone the first time he ate it.
With him crawling so good and fast we have to keep a close eye on him. He got a big bruise on his forehead today when he was cruising along the wall and slipped and hit his head on the door frame. If our camera worked I would post a picture of it. Here he was looking out the back door while Chopper wanted to come back inside. Jase thought it was fun to be at Chopper's eye level. Hopefully I will be able to post again soon with some new photos. Have a great week!!

Eight and a Half Months Old

Jase is officially crawling like a pro. It was overnight he went from shoving his face in the floor to moving on all fours. So now I have to keep Reese in the bouncy inside the Pack'n'Play so that Jase can't get to her and gouge an eye out. This past weekend Jase got his first experience in a pool. As with most everything else...he loved it. He just took it all in and was looking around. After we got home my parents came over for a few hours and we grilled out and off they went back to home. What a special treat for them to come over.

Jase loves to make this gesture by shrugging his shoulders and smiling so cute.
That is one big boy snoozing in that crib. (check out that cool bedding:)
He knows he is a big boy
Showing off and acting cool and relaxed while daddy floated him around the water.
He wanted to eat the float!

Just like his momma with the major wrinkled feet.
Time for chow!
Under he goes!!!
Coming up for air. What a good boy!
Daddy having a blast
