9 months


It is hard to catch a picture of this little guy because he is EVERYWHERE all the time. It is even harder to think that he is 9 months old! The last few months have flown by and it is getting harder to remember the times when he was content just to lay in my arms all day. Now he wants to crawl all over me and roll everywhere and pull up on everything! 
He is a very busy boy! 

This is Jedidiah eating diced carrots. He has gotten to where he isn't a fan of mushy baby food. He does not want a spoon near his mouth and he only wants to feed himself. He will still eat his yogurt, but other than that it's bananas, corn, carrots, and peas, and oh yeah ice cream! He's a little young to be this picky don't you think? But it hasn't stopped his growth. He is now 19 pounds and 11 ounces. He is also 29 inches long. That is the 75% for height, hope he's tall like his daddy. He's wearing 12 months clothes and has big boy pajamas. I think I tear up every time I Iook in his crib and think about how big he has gotten!


This is my little water baby. He loves the pool, the lake and the tub. Thank goodness because int his family we live on the water. He also loves to be outside, but loves to pull up grass and sticks and put them in his mouth.  


This is Jed at his 9 month check-up. Joel trimmed his bangs becuase his hair was getting out of control! Thankfully it was shot free visit. That probably explains why Jed was all smiles. Speaking of smiles, Jed now has 3 teeth. His 2 bottom teeth have come in and a random snaggle tooth on the upper right side. He is working on getting his 2 front teeth. He was a little late getting them and now they are coming all at once. That will mess a guys sleep up fast. He sleeps 10-11 hours on a good night and will occasionally have a rough night with a few wakings. He is handling it pretty well as long as he has something to gnaw on. He is starting to make different sounds and noises now too. He has finally squeaked out a few mama's, enough to melt my heart. I love this sweet boy and am thankful to the Lord for the blessing he is to Joel and I. He fills us with joy daily.

Uncle Kyle

My little brother enters the real world tomorrow with his first 8-5 job. His endless summer is over...not sure if it has really hit him yet. I can't believe the little kid who drove me crazy when I was little is now a grown man. Now grown-up is another question? But one thing I know for sure is that he loves his family and loves this little guy. We love you Kyle and can't wait to see what is in store for you in this stage of your life!!

Three of my four favorite guys!
Shaggy headed boys!

Houston

Jed and I traveled to Houston for my little cousin Shelby's high school graduation. We had a great time seeing our family and Jed had a ton of new experiences:

  • eating lots of table food such as bread, ice cream, corn pudding, & Cherrios 
  • falling off the bed 
  • swimming in the pool and the lake
  • riding in the car for 8 hours (twice)
Here are some pics from our trip:

As you can see, the trip wore us out. But we had a blast and can't wait to see the Tackett clan again. We love you Shelby and are praying for you as you enter your first year at Oklahoma Christian!!
