I am sorry I didn't write to you last week. Life has been crazy. You are exploring everything and I am just amazed at how much you learn each day.

You officially have 7 teeth now and you may be cutting another one soon. You've been running a slight fever ~ we'll see. You don't like for us to look in your mouth so I'm not sure but you still have many more to go.

Tuesday was Daddy's birthday and I made pancakes, sausage and eggs. I let you try a few bites of my eggs and you liked them. But you loved the pancakes I made for you. They were apple cinnamon pancakes with a little bit of butter and some syrup. You mad the funniest faces and you kept squealing when I didn't feed you fast enough.

Yesterday I made you a blueberry waffle and you loved it too. This morning I made you big boy, apple cinnamon oatmeal. You also had some toast and fruity cherrios and diced apples. WOW!! You had a big boy breakfast and you loved every bit of it.

I am so proud of you. You are growing so fast and eating all this new stuff. Grammy gave you some of her spaghetti too. You've had some baby food spaghetti but you liked her big boy spaghetti too. You've also eaten baby mac and cheese, and baby lasagna.

You are crawling so fast now. You pull yourself up and sit back down again with such ease. You have been walking along the furniture for several weeks now, but you're trying to stand by yourself. You'll pull yourself up and then let go for a few seconds before sit down again. It won't be long before you can walk on your own.

I can't believe how fast you're growing. Sometimes it seems like just yesterday you were 1 week old and other times it seems like we've had you forever. I can't believe in a little more than 3 months you'll be 1 year old. It doesn't seem possible.

I can't wait until we go to the beach. We leave in 4 weeks. You are going to love it. We're going to sit in the sand and let the water splash us. I know you will love the ocean.

My sweet little Jesse boy!! I love you so very much. You are such a wonderful little boy and I am so proud to be your mommy!!

I love you!!!
