Silly Faces

This little guy has the ability to make the funniest faces I have ever seen. I was lucky to catch a few on camera. Silly Baby!!!

Jasper's Playroom

Jasper has become more and more mobile the last few weeks. In fact he is now able to pull himself up as well as crawl on his hands and knees. With our little one yearning to explore with his new found mobility, we decided that it was important that he had a space to play and learn. This was especially necessary in my book since we don't have him in daycare and he spends his entire day at the house. Our front living room has been where Jasper has been spending most of his time so I decided to make the dining room into a playroom for him. We put gates up blocking the kitchen and the foyer so Jasper has two large rooms to crawl around and explore. Of course we baby-proofed these two rooms. However, I have to say that baby-proofing before you put baby on the floor is only half of what you need to do. No matter how hard you try to pick up and put away everything they might get into, there is always three things you forgot. But don't worry, Jasper has been quite helpful in letting us know what those things are :). Jasper's playroom now has a mat that spells his name and toys galore!! We all can't resist getting down on the floor with him and playing.

Oh my Gosh...Real Food!!!

MMMM....mashed potatoes and broccoli


Spaghetti and Meatballs...mmmmmmm

So Jasper's 9 month check-up was last Thursday and the doctor told us to start him on Stage 3 foods. Stage 3 foods is really code for table food, so Jasper has been enjoying mashed delectable treats. We have also started giving Jasper finger foods and he is having fun figuring out whether he wants to play, eat, or do both.

According to the doctors Jasper is in the upper percentiles in regards to his physical development. Translation...Jasper's a big boy. He weighs in at a whopping 24.1 lbs and is almost 2 1/2 feet tall. The doctors are amazed at his size because he isn't really overly chubby, he is tall and lanky like his dad plus a little extra from my side and voila we have GIGANTOR BABY!

"So hurry up already!"

I have had requests that we get to the recent pictures of Jasper. I wish I could share every picture of Jasper. Babies change so fast and we have been keeping the camera on the coffee table ready all the time. However, even preparing for the cuteness does not guaruntee that we will be able to capture it :). So needless to say we have a TON of digital photos of Jasper over the past 9 months, yes Jasper is 9 months ALREADY!!!

So here you have it guys, recent photos of Jasper, hehe. :)>
