We spent Halloween at my parents house. There isn't many neighborhoods in their area, so we went to my mom's work, where the residents were passing out candy to all the kids. Here are some pics of him and Grandma. I didn't dress up...I'm not a huge fan of dressing up for Halloween.
Jacob is growing FAST!! He will be 9 months on the 23rd. He is crawling everywhere and pulling up on anything and everything. It is amazing how quickly he picked that up. Now he is starting to stand up, turn, and let go of what he is holding on to, and of course this results in a fall. He is on the way to walking very soon. He has also picked up this very annoying whine...it's terrible. I would much rather hear a cry than a wimpy whine. The last few weeks have been very very rough. He has been teething again, and with that has come sleep issues. He has started waking up during the night, usually 3-4 times, sometimes more! I don't know what it's like to get sleep anymore. Thank god for coffee!
Some other milestones lately has been the small use of a sippy! I have been giving him a sippy cup since 6 months. Until now he has denied it every time. If I would put it up to his mouth, he would move his face the other way and make a terrible mean face. He would even get upset sometimes if I would put the cup near him. I have continued giving him the sippy cup at every meal, and he finally caught on! He isn't chugging out of it, but he does take some sips. That's a start!
I have also started Jacob on some table food. I have started mixing his veggies with pasta. They are little tiny pasta stars that help him get used to eating chunkier food. At first he gagged and hated them. But now it's nothing for him. He tried avocado's the other night and liked them! He is also eating peas and carrots! I haven't given him too much fruit other than the frozen fruit in the teething mesh eater. I don't want him to be hooked on sweets at a early age. And honestly, he loves veggies. He's not even a fan of juice.
I am very particular on what Jacob eats. I don't want him having much processed foods if possible. There are so many chemicals, pesticides, and unneeded sugar is everything. Thankfully eating healthy and clean is helping me drop weight. I am 10 pounds from my all time goal! Yay me! Right now I am smaller than what I have been in years. By the time Aaron comes home, I will be able to fit in his jeans. Which you all now how tiny he is!
