Month Nine: It's Teething Time!

18lbs 9 oz.         28" tall

9 month updates:

• Check in with dr B! All is well!
• Back crawling with purposeful direction...still not interested in traditional methods. However, in the last couple of days J has discovered pulling up on tables and couches n' things! Haven't quite mastered it but soon...
• From here to there and there to here funny things are everywhere! [video]
• Poop face video
• Nap time 3 hours after waking.
• Consistently sleeping through the night (just feeding once around 4am) until that second tooth came along. Then we had some troubled days followed by the worst night ever with a 101 degree fever and the crying in pain every 30 min/hour. It was almost unbearable knowing there wasn't too much I could do to help. I brought him into bed with us for the first time in a really long time but it seemed not to help. I'm hoping that it at least gave him some comforting reassurance.
• Slowly started the weaning process...we were down to nursing 3-4x in a 24 hour period, a 50% reduction but this teething thing has killed his appetite for solids and now we are back to 5-6x.








• Mastered the 360 roll.

So.....it seems like we're the same baby......

Last weekend Gma Sylvia and Gpa Paul came to visit! Ben & I got to climb together one day and go snowboarding at Eldora the next. It felt like old times again! Jaxen did very well all day long with Gma while we were snowboarding and even took a 3 hour nap. Thanks again for all your help. It couldn't have come at a better time. The fussy teething thing was really starting to get to me. Luckily he's over it and my happy lil' guy is back.

Looking forward to our trip to Arizona! First out-of-utero plane ride!
