9 months/christmas

this will be two post in one...so here are his stats for 9 months

weight: 17 lbs 2 oz

height: 28 inches

head: 18 inches

sleeping: 2 naps during the day, and night about 6 to 8 hrs, wakes up around 5 or 530 and has a bottle and goes back to sleep for 2 or 3 hrs.

eating: 6 oz bottle with 1 tsp rice cereal, he is down to about 4 or 5 bottles a day, he eats cereal in the morning for breakfast, and veggies or fruit for lunch and dinner. he like oranges(yeah i know) mash potatoes, yams, pancakes, smash banana's, we are going to try tofu and real green beans tomorrow.

developments: he is sitting up on his own, been doing that for about 2 months, rolling around like crazy, he is army crawling, he gets up on his knees and than falls to his stomach, so hopefully in the next month or so he will be crawling. he likes to climb on things and try and pull himself up when you hold him on your lap.

now for christmas:

so christmas this year we surprise my mom by flying my little brother out from missouri to arizona, she thought he wasn't coming out, best christmas ever!! :) and my dad also surprised my mom with a trip to hawaii next december, which she has been talking about FOREVER!! so all in all it was a great christmas. dustin came with me and jaxson to arizona, and we spent christmas eve with my family, and than drove back to san diego christmas eve and arrived back at his mom's house at 530 am on christmas morning and spent it with her and her wife tanya. here are some pictures from christmas enjoy...hope everyone had a great christmas and has a happy new year!!

and then there were two

so dustin is now in san diego and jaxson and i are still in port hueneme, until april 1, 2011. that is when i transfer, i can't wait for the day, i am not enjoying being away from dustin and i know jaxson isn't either. i know this is kind of preparing us for what deployments would be like, but it feels harder only cause he is close but yet so far away if that makes any sense whatsoever...and the loneliness is not helping, and that the only people i talk to are people are work and i come home and i have jaxson, now don't get me wrong, i love my son to death, but i need someone to talk to other than a 9 month old...and i can't always talk on the phone to dustin cause he or i are usually busy doing something....it just hard..*tear*

lets compare

Jaxson 8.5 months
Jaxson 1 or 2 days old

it's crazy how much he has grown and come in such a short time, he now has his bottom two teeth, and it's army crawling/worm crawling around..i called it worm crawling because he pulls himself forward and that wiggles and kicks his feet, it's pretty funny to watch. i can't wait to see what the furture holds for this little guys
