Little walker

Someone finally learned to walk over Christmas break.... but I have yet to get him on video. He's the 4th baby, but the oldest to learn how to walk. I've never had one walk AFTER turning a year old! It's so funny, but he's such a FAST crawler!

Guess walking is hard work...

Milestones

I think every parent loves milestones. It gives you this proud feeling when you see your "baby" grow up and learn these everyday tasks. Sometimes it seems as though they almost grow up too fast. Especially when it's your last baby....

Jayden will be nine months on the 16th of August. He is standing, crusing along things, wanting to eat "grown up food" and surprisingly, cut his first tooth!

I am surprised because Josh was the youngest to get teeth - he was 10 months... This took me by surprise! In fact I thought Jayden had been hurt because his mouth was bleeding!! Come to find out, his tooth was breaking through... Who knew!

He's growing up TOO fast!!! :(

Ah ha!

Look who I caught standing up all by himself!

My little munchkin is growing up entirely too fast!

At least he took time to smile at me :)

How To Roll Over...In Three Easy Steps....

Jayden has learned to roll from his back to his tummy....although he usually gets frustrated with himself that he can't just "flip over" yet. It still takes a little "umph" on his part, but he's getting faster and before I know it he'll be chasing the others around the house too...

Step 1: look cute for the camera so mommy can take a "before" picture

Step 2: swing your leg over and arch your back to be on your side

Step 3: move your toes to grab the carpet to make the rest of your body turn over. Be sure to pause for mommy to take a quick picture
