Our little Ju Ju Bee is still as happy go lucky, but sometimes developing more of an opinion about things. He still amazes us with his little ninja roll that we can't quite capture on video. He basically falls down from staring up and instead of bonking his head, he does a quick roll to get out of it. He's especially good at this when very sleepy.
Here's some of his new tricks or preferences:
- Shakes head "no no no" when sleepy and makes us all laugh (especially when at Disneyland at dinner)
- Loves tackling his brother and sister...his way of "giving them a hug"
- Tries to say "all done" by either shaking his hands around or imitating my word intonation
- Continues to love string cheese, fried eggs, pears, oranges and apple sauce squeezers
- Loves when Ethan and Eliana push him very fast in his umbrella stroller
- Makes trips to the bus stop via his new 4-in-1 trike (thanks, Nonna and Grandpa) and loves it
- Usually takes two naps a day...where he naps is mostly in his crib...but given our activities, there are times he only naps in the car...sorry, Drew!
- Loves when Daddy gets home
- Still nursing exclusively and now up to 23 lbs
- Letting go and standing and balancing...has taken a few stutter steps but nothing very solid yet. I'm sure walking will happen pretty soon
- Still no teeth, but I can see the indentions in the bottom part of his mouth
- Loves to read touch and feel books like, "Little Giraffe" and "That's Not my Bunny"
- Getting more opinionated about diaper changes
- Drools all over, but spit up has significantly slowed down
- Has a new love affair with balls, especially Ethan's basketball and my little butterfly ball from growing up. The other day he sat in the kitchen and bounced the basketball forever while I got dinner ready
- Still loves baths and all the silliness that comes with it with three kiddos in the tub
- Continues to make "da da" "ba ba" as his main consonant sounds
He is such a joy to be around. He can play on his own, but happily comes to us when he needs us and wants us to be silly with him. Still loves the "I'm gonna getcha'" game.
We love you, Ju Ju!

Drew at 9 months
Drew still remains his happy, easy-going attitude.
- He weighs 22 lbs (85-90% tile), is 29.4" long (90% tile) and HC is 18.5' (95% tile). He actually lost a little weight from last check in, but doc thinks that's because he's so busy crawling and cruising.
- He now sits up in the bath tub with a towel underneath him and loves sibling craziness and the water.
- Survived his first family ski trip to Mission Ridge, even loved the cold pool water at night. And did fine at the daycare while Mommy skied and came in to nurse him every couple hours.
- Loves gross motor skills and exploring the house. When we follow him up the stairs, he loves to crawl up them.
- Loves his walkers and things that make him move, including his new train that Ethan can push him around on.
- Loves his eggs, sausage, oranges and string cheese. Not a huge fan of berries or broccoli yet, but we are working on that:)
- Easily uses sippy cup on his own. And if given at every meal, would love the spoon to naw on for his gums.
- Still no teeth, but having solid naps and night time sleep. Usually 2 naps day for 1-2 hours each.
- Loves playing peek-a-boo and keep away with mom or Ethan or Daddy.
- Is obsessed with the "Little Blue Truck's Christmas" book. He loves the twinkling lights at the end.
- He also loves any books with sensory objects like, "Little Lion" (puppet book) and "Little Giraffe" (Puppet book).
- Got some new bath toys for Christmas and is loving those.
- Gets a couple bumps and scratches a week on his head or face. He's so active, he can't control pulling things down on himself or over.
- Attempting to sign "all done" when at the table
- Loves to clap and give mommy kisses (by sucking on my nose)
- Is a bundle of joy and so happy, we are truly blessed.

- Loving sibling time
- Loving eating, especially eggs, other meat, carrots and squash
- Taking 2-3 naps/day
- Super happy in any situation, even with strangers
- Survived mommy leaving for a girls trip to San Diego. Polished off all frozen breastmilk and even gulped down some formula (good job, peanut!)
