9 Month Professional Pictures - Sneak Peek

We had Davis' 9 month photo shoot yesterday with our fabulous photographer Emy Zolg of JEM Photography.

Check them out HERE.

I'm ecstatic at how they turned out because Davis did not want anything to do with the pictures he was more concerned about her lights, camera, cords and anything else he could get his hands on. I spent the entire 2 hour shoot chasing him

Weekly Memo

To: Davis

From: Mommy

Oh Davis, I know you love your new scream, I'm not really sure what it is all about but you seem to enjoy it. You scream constantly, every time you stand up you scream, it must be out of pure excitement. Not to suck the fun out of the screaming, but it really hurts mommy, daddy and Maizy's ears, so try to tone it down, just a bit. I'm not asking you to stop, let's just change the pitch. OK?

Remember My Baby Food Review??

Remember I said how pricey Earth's Best was, well it is still pricey, but I bought some at Babies R'Us the other day and guess what?? Yep, Davis loves it so I've been buying it for him. Good thing BRU is having a sale, 10 for $5, which reminds me, I should go get some more but I'm being lazy today and it is really cold outside.

What Happens When Davis Does Not Want to Sleep

It is rare that Davis doesn't crash by 7 p.m. every night, so on this rare occasion last week I got a chance to tape him in his overtired glory. He stayed up until 8:30 p.m on this night, I called him my little drunk. The funniest part is the beginning when he falls.

What Has Davis Been Up To?

He turned 8 months!

He wants to watch Sex & the City, I told him he is too young

He is still crawling like no tomorrow

He pulls himself up on EVERYTHING

He finally met Stella, I think it was love at first sight, look at that adorable jean dress

We Bought a Baby Cage

Errrrr, I mean baby gate contraption thingy. Anyways, it is a big octagon and contains Davis in one spot, it is a fabulous invention, if your baby likes it. Davis sees this thing and starts crying. That was a well spent $60. So we are back to mommy chasing Davis all day, I look at it this way, I might lose some weight.

I Pretend he is Still a Newborn

I still rock Davis to sleep for his naps and at night, I know, I know, I know, I should be letting him try to fall asleep on his own and self soothe, but I'm just not ready yet. Every night I turn the TV off, turn the lights off, give him a bottle and rock him to sleep. I put my little man up on my shoulder where he rests his adorable little head, I put his favorite blanket over him, close my eyes and enjoy the fact that he is still a baby (a bigger baby, but still a baby). I give him tiny little kisses and hum him a lullaby. I know these moments will end sooner than I realize and need to take in every minute. The only time he lets me cuddle him is when he is asleep and I have to enjoy every moment of it. He rarely wants anyone holding him when he is awake, he is to busy exploring the house and being nosy. The minute I pick him up he tries to dive off my lap after something much more exciting than me, like the dog's tail, the remote, my hand weights and the occasional dog toy.

Just remember, these moments don't last forever and enjoy them all to their fullest because before you know it that little one will be off to college and you will stand their wondering where the time went.
