My poor baby...

He found his toys!

Jack is nine months old today. He has grown so much and learns new things every day. He Has 4 teeth and 2 more are on their way. His favorite activities are: trying to eat leaves off the floor, crawling everywhere, bath time, looking at himself in the mirror, opening drawers, standing in his crib, looking for trouble and eating Kix. He gets more and more independent every day and looks more like a kid to me now than a little baby - I'm loving every moment of being his mommy.

This last week the poor thing was really sick for about 3 days. He had a sore throat and was running a temperature that got up to 103.8. All he wanted to do was sleep and cuddle, but other than that, he barely complained at all. As a mother, I was conflicted with loving the fact that he wanted to cuddle with me all day and feeling sad that my baby was sick. It's a weird mix of emotions. Of course, all I really wanted was for him to get better. And now he is! He just has a case of Roseola(a rash) from getting over the infection.

The good news is that he is better just in time for finals week and will be good as new by the time we come to visit you all for Christmas break!

While he still looks so much like you, I'm finally seeing more of Juan in him. I'm glad he's doing better, roseola is never fun (although I understand the mix of emotions) and we can't wait to see you.

He is so adorable!!! I'm going to see him, right? I want to play with him :) He's looking so big! I'm glad he's starting to feel better. And I, too, understand the mixed emotions. Like the days when Jonathan naps a lot because he's so sick--it's awesome to have time to myself, but I'm still sad for him.
