Auntie Pepto!!

Jotham and I were so blessed to get to spend a few fun days with Ashley (Jotham's Aunt Pepto).

He loved playing with her sunglasses!

He flirted with her the whole time, just playing and giggling! :)
He loved all her sugars too!!

Auntie P taught Jotham how to have fun with a cup...it was hilarious so we got it on video...

Got Teeth?

The morning after Jotham turned 9 months old he woke up with two things he didn't have the day before...two bottom teeth! Now he's chomping on everything! :)

9 Months Old!!

 We tried to get a good family picture on his 9 month birthday but we were so tired so...well as you can see...they got silly...Take 1

 Take 2...

Take 3!

Time really does go by so quickley!
Jotham turned 9 months old on May 23rd!

My 1st Mother's Day!

Mother's Day 2010! I felt so special! My boys bought me a beautiful yellow necklace and took me shopping! How sweet?!?

I am so blessed to be a mother. I cherish my God-given role as a mommy.

Sweet kisses for a sweet baby boy! :)

Fun at the Lakehouse

Jotham wearing my sunglasses on the boat ride!
Our family...the three of us! :)

Philip driving...hold on! :)

Me and Jotham suited up and ready to ride!

The test drive before we all went out...they had too much fun! Is Philip watching while he's driving?

Jotham had some fun time to play with his Papaw Jim...

Even had time to eat his sunglasses!

Papaw Jim bought Jotham a baby pool while we were at the Lake and Jotham tested out his swimmy

We went for a boat ride...Mr. Jim putting up the shade...

A visit from Grammy & Papaw Jim

Jotham got to go swimming with his Grammy Vi and his cousins, Emma, Andy and Lauren. (We sure did miss Catherine, Daddy & Papaw Jim!)

After swim time, Jotham needed some guy time with cousin Andy. They watched cartoons and read Spiderman (I think, who knows?!)

Gettin' sweet kisses from Grammy...

and hugs from Papaw Jim!

Jotham & DD

Jotham loves to play with DD every night before bedtime.

He also loves any drink she has...sonic included (she started this habit as well)

still more things...

Jotham has been practicing putting some weight on his little legs, but he pokes his little butt out while he does it and it is so cute!

 

He thinks it's fun to sit in the laundry basket or for me to dump the clean laundry on him and play the "where is Jotham" game...it just never gets old!

He likes paper plates...so, I'll never have to buy another toy right?! :)

He sat in a high chair for the 1st time at Pit Stop BBQ! He did a really great job! :) Big Boy!

other things he's been up to...

We let him practice sitting up...he's getting better, but has NO fall response...making for lots of face plants...ugh!

We've been trying to get him to put weight on his feet, but he doesn't want to...so we bought him this walker at a consignment store...but he was too short for it...so we had to improvise...thanks Papa Johns :)

He doesn't crawl, but he rolls everywhere...so I found him (off his play mat of course) playing the drums with his feet on this big jug...he loves to do this from time to time :)

He has started scooting a little, but he can only go backwards and he backs himself up under the ottoman, couches, chairs, you name it...he can back up under it!

Things Jotham is doing at 8 months old...

He likes to play in his bumbo seat and is getting better at picking up his toys.

He likes to play with magazines. (His DD started this habit)

He likes to roll all around on the floor...everywhere.

He likes to watch his favorite TV show, Yo Gabba Gabba.
