Jesse's New Tricks

Jesse is 9 months olds and he's learned so many new things in the past couple weeks that Dave and I are just trying to keep up. He's learned how to crawl which has changed our lives dramatically. Now that he's mobile, he's nothing but trouble. It seems like once I get one mess cleaned up I discover the next one he's already made. But as much trouble as he is, all he has to do is looks at you with his big, bright eyes, and flash you his huge, toothy smile and your instantly in love again.

Jesse has also learned how to pull himself up to standing and walk along the furniture. He loves to clap his hands (especially to the song If You're Happy and You Know It), and he's said his first word. He's been a very busy baby.


This is Jesse's first day of crawling (forward).


Here's Jesse saying his first word and clapping his hands.

Hi Rachel! That's so funny that you used your phone to get Jesse to crawl. That's what Nathan went for, too. Now he's pretty crawling-proficient and follows me around the apartment :). Good to see what you guys are up to!

Jesse is such a cutie. He and Annie need to have a play day so they can crawl around. The other day she stood up in her high chair (help!) It's amazing how much happier they are once they get moving.

Jesse and Annie need to hang out and just crawl around. It's about time wouldn't you say. Let's make it happen!
