9 months already

Jonas is 9 months old today. I'm watching my baby boy change so much lately. I'm excited and sad at the same time. Joe found him standing in his crib for the first time yesterday! We were shocked he has made it to this milestone. While taking a bath, he is all over the place! He has no fear in the tub and tries all kinds of crazy things. He is crawling all over the place and doesn't like when I leave the room and he can't see me. I believe we are in the attachment phase a little bit. I do love when he comes crawling to me and wants me to pick him up. The picture above was taken yesterday. We laughed so hard. I don't think Jonas knew how to get himself out of this perdicament. Jonas and I made a quick trip to Babys R Us tonight. I took my time looking around. We were walking down the swing and high chair aisle and he was looking so intently and just started laughing at the things he saw. He would make that gasp, breathing in sound and laugh. It was so cute and had me laughing pretty hard.
Last week was a very stressful week for me. Jonas' schedule was off pretty much every day. He has the sniffles and is teething. It made it difficult for me to work and get my hours in as well as keep him entertained a lot more! (and don't forget I have a Jack Russel too) Also, Joe is on nights and is trying to sleep during the day. It felt like a circus a couple days. I did start Spring cleaning though. I can't say I've done this every year, but I need to. I started washing all my curtains and cleaning windows. There is still more deep cleaning to be done. Thankfully Joe helps out a lot with that type of work. We just need a couple days together to knock it out.
This week is going much better so far. Jonas seems to be more on track.
We look forward to Aunt Barb and Doc coming into town tomorrow. Aunt Barb is everyone's favorite Aunt. We hate living so far away from them. She is recovering from Breast cancer treatments this past year and has an incredible outlook on life. We will get to spend tomorrow evening with them before they, along with my parents, go to the coast for the weekend. Thursday night, Joe and I get to go on a double date with one of Joe's co-workers and his wife. I'm really looking forward to it.

I hope you are having a great week!
