Jacob is 9 Months Old!

I can hardly believe that 9 months have passed since our precious Jacob was born. Oh my goodness I love this baby boy! We had his 9 month pediatrician appointment and I was excited to hear that Jacob still appears to be in great health. Jacob weighed in at 18lbs, 15 oz and measured 27 1/2 inches. He is now in the 25th percentile in both height and weight.

Jacob is cruising and crawling everywhere but his favorite place to cruise is under and around the kitchen chairs and table. He think he's such a big guy and he is so fun to watch!

He loves using his push walker although I monitor him like a hawk with that thing. He starts going way too fast for my comfort level!
Jacob also loves his basket of books. He spends a lot of time standing and sitting by the basket pulling out all of the books and looking at them. I love how captivated he can be! His favorite books are "Quack, Quack", "Nighty Night" (because of Big Bird on the front), and anything with Elmo.

Both day and night, Jacob loves standing at our back door and looking outside. He's also so much fun in the bath but all onlookers will get wet. He LOVES to splash!

Some of his other favorite things at the moment are his jumperoo, musical table, balls, clock faces, our fall wreath, and his elephant crib mirror. The crib mirror has a pull that produces funny noises, music, and a mouse to go around and around. He loves playing with it before and after sleep and sometimes even in the middle of the night. It totally cracks us up!

Jacob is such a happy baby and has the most precious laugh! He loves to be bounced, lifted up and down, twirled around, and have his neck and belly kissed. I just can't get enough of his giggles and squeals! I am truly enjoying every day with my sweet Jacob and am so thankful that I am able to be a stay-at-home mom. It is definitely the best job I've ever had and ever will!
