Time for another monthly update! Feels like I just posted the 8 month one! Jonah is SO much fun these days. His personality continues to develop and blossom. I truly think he is going to be a kind hearted boy when he grows up, with a side of rough-tough of course.
What he is doing:
***Crawling, pulling up, and cruising like it is his job. It's constant. In the last week he has mastered being able to go from standing back to sitting without having to throw himself down. He sits much more gentley now.
***Clapping. He gets so proud of himself when he does this. We are trying to teach him how to do "high five."
*** Lots and Lots of babbling. His favorite sounds for now are "Ba Ba Ba Ba," "KKKKK" and "Ga Ga ga" he occaisionally does "da da da" but definately no "ma ma ma" yet
***Feeding himself. Now he has been able to feed him self for several months, but I'd say out of 10 puffs he'd actually get like 2 of them in his mouth. Now that his pincer grasp is much more proficient, he can get about 8 out of 10 puffs in his mouth. He loves to eat chopped up green beans and carrot slices. Puffs also remain a fave.
*** Drinking from a sippy cup. He LOVES water. I have not introduced juice to him yet and really have no intention of doing so any time soon. There is not much nutritional value to juice and really its just a ton of sugar. So for now we will stick to ice water in a sippy cup.
*** Bangs his toys. Its like a little Jonah Band in my living room some days.
*** He chases balls and any other toys that roll.
*** He cries when we tell him "No." I know I am not supposed to laugh when I am supposed to be stern, but it really is just the cutest thing to see that little lip drop just before he starts to cry.
*** He comes to you when you ask him to.
*** He cuddles a lot more. I think he had been so busy figuring out how to become mobile that he was not interested in cuddling. But now, I've got my cuddle bug back.
What he Loves:
*** Green beans. Sheesh, I can't seem to keep enough in the house. I put a few on his try and within seconds he has devoured them and is asking for more
*** Eating off of Mama's plate. He could have just eaten half a can of green beanss and will still want whatever I am having.
*** His leap frog musicial table. Best $8 I ever spent (bought it at a consignment sale for a a steal...its normally like $40). He plays with this thing all the time!
*** His computer. While he loves this thing and its a great tool for distraction, he still loves Mama and Daddy's laptops better.
*** Climbing up on the ottoman's
*** His big wooden activity block. Another great consignment sale find. These things sell in the stores for about $50, I got it for $20. He loves it, because it has TONS of things that spin and flip, and anything that spins and flips automatically gets his attention.
*** His race car track. Again the center of it spins...so well there you go.
*** Books and reading. I love story time too.
*** Swinging. We have taken him to the park a few times and he is all grins when he is in the swing.
*** Elmo. Still his favorite.
*** The kitty cats. He has always been fascinated by them but there must be a little something else about being able to chase them that makes the kitty cats just a little more exciting.
Stay tuned...more to come!
