9 Months and Loving It!

Well, here we are at nine months! I can't believe it!! It is flying by. Each month just gets better and better. Yesterday was actually Wells' nine month birthday, but I couldn't find my camera. Thank goodness I found it today! I am so scattered these days being pregnant and having a very mobile little boy. He hit 8 months and 3 weeks, and all of a sudden he decided to crawl everywhere, VERY FAST I might add. He is also loving Vedder, our dog. ( I have added a video below...just ignore my voice!)He then decided this past week to pull up and try to stand on things. Therefore, notice the bruises on the nose, knee, etc. I'm sure you'll have a hard time seeing these things since the pictures are all blurry, but they are the best I can get these days! He is seriously all over the place, but we are having a blast! Long gone are the days of putting him in the johnny jump up, the exersaucer, or in the boppy. He only wants to be on the move or he is unhappy. On the other hand, he is loving the minivan! It's hilarious to see him stare all over the place in awe of his new ride. I'm just ready to turn him around and actually see him. Hitting this nine month milestone has also meant another round of baby bootcamp for Wells! Last week I spent all 7 days (and i mean SEVEN) doing the same routine for naps of reading, listening to music, rocking until drowsy and then putting him down and lifting the gate on the crib. then came the wailing for an hour an a half for the first five days for EVERY NAP and nighttime. Then finally on Sunday he gave up and just went down, talked to himself for a while and put himself to sleep!!! success!!! We had to get to this point because I'm getting uncomfortable and can't get him into the crib anymore without waking him. I also just wanted him to get used to this early before the new baby comes. I still have the sweet rocking moments, just not for 45 minutes!! yahoo! One last thing, we are also flying (just wells and me) and meeting up with chris on Friday in Virginia. We are going to see his PawPaw who is so precious. He has never met wells and has alzheimers. He has had it for years and we really think Wells needs to meet him now. Please pray for our health in traveling as I have really gone back and forth on whether we need to go. But I decided to just put it in God's hands and pray Wells and I have a great trip. Any tips on flying pregnant with a nine month old would be greatly appreciated!!
