Jacob,
I cannot believe that you are 9 months old today! It doesn't seem like an entire month has passed since you turned 8 months old. You have grown an incredible amount this month, especially in the past 2 weeks. You started crawling on March 14. It was a Sunday afternoon, and we were waiting on Gammy, Camden, and Jeremie to come over, so we could go to the park. There was a toy on the floor that you wanted, and you just crawled right to it! Since then, you have started getting into a lot. You love getting into the DVDs and the computer cord if it is where you can get to it. You have also taught Ethan that you will take your toys back from him after he takes them from you! The first time you did that I just laughed! Ethan was not to thrilled, though. You also pulled up yesterday for the first time. Daddy and I heard you and Ethan wake up, and when he came to check on you, he told me to get up and hurry. I stood in the hall and looked into your room, and you were holding onto the side of the crib just a bouncing on your knees! Ethan was bouncing along with you in his bed. It was so fun to watch. Then, later in the day, you pulled up on the couch all by yourself!
You went for your 9 month checkup on Thursday (your Mimi's birthday), and you were 24 lbs. 7 oz, and were 30 in. tall. After comparing your stats to your brother's 9 month stats, you are only 1 lb heavier than he was! You are the same height. It is a lot of fun to compare the rates at which the two of you are growing.
Your Mimi is coming to visit you next week, and Ethan is terribly excited. I know that Mimi cannot wait to get her hands on you! We will also be making a trip back to Spartanburg with her for Easter. Mama, Reagan, Sandy, and everyone else are beyond ready to see you crawl and ready to hold you!
Jacob, we love you more every day!
Momma and Daddy
