Look what I can do!

Just when I was getting used to the idea of Jon David crawling all over the house, he decided to make things more interesting. He crawled over to a "walking" toy that was stopped against a chair and pulled himself up to play with it. I didn't even have time to take a picture with my phone when he sat back down. Lucky for me, he continued to pull himself up on the couch all afternoon and I was able to get some pictures. I think Shelby being on the couch was his motivation to get up! He sure loves that dog!

My poor laptop!

It has been a while since my last post, I've sent my laptop to the Geek Squad for repair! I should get it back soon and then I can post pictures of Jon David from Valentine's Day. He got his first cold this month and on top of that, he is cutting his bottom two teeth! I am thankful he went eight months before getting sick for the first time, but it makes me want to cry when I have to hold him down to suck out his boogies with the bulb syringe!
Jon David now eats a full dinner of meat, veggies and fruit! I also (finally) found some teething crackers that are gluten free, so he has been chowing down on those too! Although finding gluten free items has gotten easier since Jon was diagnosed, it's still a challenge to find specialty items like this. Anyone in the Houston area should go check out Hubble and Hudson in the Woodlands. It's a great specialty market with a FANTASTIC bistro. Look for my friend Burt and tell him Jennie Dlg sent you!

8 months already!

Jon David has been very busy lately. He has been "inchworming" around the living room for a couple of weeks now, but it has turned to official crawling! Now that he knows he can move fast, he goes! All over the house he roams and my floors can't be clean enough! He does know what "no" means, but he just flashes a devilish grin and keeps on touching the dvr, wii and everything else over by the tv.

Jon and I let him "cry it out" the other night for the first time. It was 4am and we cannot continue to get up to replace the paci. He doesn't eat at night anymore, so theoretically, we should be sleeping more. It was so hard to hear him cry like that, but 20 minutes later, he was sound asleep!

We are looking forward to our first Valentine's together as a family. I got him an outfit that says "My heart belongs to Mommy". Awwww, maybe I need a shirt that says, "My heart belongs to my two Jons"!
