Well for being 9 months old he has been doing pretty good! We went and had our 9 month check up he weighed 18 pounds and was 27 1/2 inches long. Dr.Neese said whatever I was doing was working. We have been trying to introduce table foods and he is not real sure about it. Everything we put in his mouth he gags on, and I mean everything, even mashed potatoes. The only thing that he doesn't have a problem with is the Puffs, and only becuase they disolve in your mouth as soon as you put them in. He likes to reach for is own in the container but doesn't quite know how to get them to his mouth yet. So this will be a work in progress! We went swimming for the first time a few weeks ago and he LOVES it!! He has a float that Uncle Craig bought him with a canopy(I bought the same one for us to have too) he really likes that but doesn't want to stay in it for long. He would much rather have someone hold him so he can kick and put his face in the water. I am so glad he likes the water I don't know what I would do if he didn't. We have booked our first family vacation. We are going to FLORIDA in September!!! We can't be more excited and can't wait to go. I am really anxious to see how he does on an airplane,hopefully well for the sake of the other passengers and ME!!! We would like to wish our good friends Adelyn and Ava a very HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY!! They both turned one within the last couple of weeks and we are so excited for them. My friend Ashley (Ava's mom) has decided to be our new babysitter and we couldn't be more thrilled. She has already started watching Jace and he loves going over there and playing with Ava. And the best part is that she lives right around the corner!!! No more leaving 45 minutes before I have to be at work. Well that is it for now.Love,
The Howard's
