9 Months and growing big

It is amazing the changes we have seen in DJ in the last month!! He is getting so big!
Well we have an advanced crawler in our house.  He is getting into everything!  We bought a "corral" to keep him contained in his play area or a smaller area so we can do some work and not worry about him getting into anything.  Lots of new things this month.  He has also officially learned how to pull himself up into a standing position! He now is a big clapper!! If he sees you clapping he will def clap with you!  His dad was teaching him to crawl up stairs while we were in Springhill, TN visiting Uncle Derek, Aunt Rachel, and Cousin Devin last month and he learned how to crawl up onto the fireplace hearth! Thank goodness it is getting warmer out and we won't need the fireplace on very much more!

Happy 9 Months Old Little Man!!!

"In Jail" in my Corral!!!!

8 Months

Well I'm a little behind….we spent our 8 month birthday in the ER.  We were at the gym and DJ was in the Kids Klub and fell out of the girls hand and hit is head.  Let's just say mommy was very scared…..he had blood encircling his eye and a scrap on his nose when we first got into the room.  We went straight to the ER.  He ended up not needing stitches.  He had a large gash over his eye, skin on his nose torn off, and a bruise on his cheek.  DJ was very good in the ER…he made all the nurses smile….like he usually does!

We started crawling this month.  He didn't go very far when he did take off crawling.  He was getting more interested in trying to pull himself up into a standing position too.  Lots of growth happening very quickly!
