Stimpy love

Stimpy has been with me for a long time. He's 12 years old and has always been grumpy, even as a kitten. We joke that he was destined to be an only child but never was. Stimpy had never really been around dogs when we adopted Dexter so they took a while to warm up to each other. I do catch them being nice to each other every once in a while though so there is hope. Stimpy wasn't thrilled when Jack came home with us from the hospital either. He likes a quiet house and Jack is definitely not quiet. He normally keeps his distance which is why you don't see him in many pictures but every once in a while he'll get brave and walk next to him.

And then Jack gets to give him some loving.




Stimpy wasn't really a fan of Jack's loving. He spent the next hour grooming himself and dodging Dexter.

Jacks first lemon

Jack meet lemon. Lemon meet Jack.




I was at dinner with a few of my friends and Melody (Jacks Godmother) wanted to give him a lemon. I just had to capture his first taste of something really sour. We're pretty good about giving him a variety of foods but he'd never had a lemon before.

9 Month Stats

I am sorry this is posted a bit late but I wanted to wait 'til I'd taken Jack to his 9 month well baby appointment. I had to wait 'til my contract was up at work before I could take him.

Our "little" man isn't so little.

He's 24.5 lbs which is the 95%
He's 30 inches long which is 94%
His head is 45.5 which is 50%...who would have known his head is average. He is Jay's kid.

He's the size of a toddler! The doctor isn't concerned though becuase at least he's proportionate and he's always been a big little man. Luckily (for my back) he's slowing down.

Check out these chubby legs and belly!

He's always happy.

Did I mention he's into EVERYTHING!!!

Then he gives me this smile.

And goes right back to doing whatever he wants.

Did you know he's got 6 teeth? His bottom two came in first, then his fangs, and now his top teeth finally cut.

And in case you were wondering he still sucks his lower lip.

He's talking a lot too. He loves saying, "Dada," "Mama," and even responds, "Yeah," when we ask him questions. He wakes up by yelling, "Dada," 'til Jay comes and gets him, and when he's tired he crawls to me saying, "Mama." He gives hugs and baby kisses that are slobbery and absolutely wonderful. He also loves everybody he meets...I swear he's the only baby I know who never got stranger anxiety. His favorite place to visit is the grocery store (not suprising) but he might like the splash pad just as much after this weekend when I take him for the first time.

Jack came and woke mom up and he gave her a picture he made while he was in daycare this week. I'll have to post this later. I didn't get a good picture.

Dad got Jack dressed for Church.

We went to Church to meet Grammy and then headed for a quick lunch. We also headed down to Buy Buy Baby to buy Jack some stuff. What's Mothers day with out spending a ton of money on Jack?
We took a few movies but those will have to be posted later becuase they take forever to upload and I'm tired.
