This past Sunday (the 19th), my little JJ turned 9 months old! There have been so many changes from 8 months to 9 months. It is just so insane how fast babies grow. I swear I just had a newborn, and now I am chasing a soon to be toddler around the house. He seriously crawls super fast! Lately he is changing in every way possible from looks to personality! He also amazes me daily with how smart he is. Nothing gets past him. So in this blog, I want to update you on all things JJ!
First of all, JJ LOVES to eat. He really will eat anything. He loves french fries, chicken, bananas, yogurt, noodles, peanut butter, and pretty much anything else I can smash up for him. He is a crumb snatcher. I’ll get myself a snack, and he’ll come crawling to me. He’ll sit a my feet and stare at me until I give him a bite. I never mind sharing with my little muncher. He is also still breastfed as well, but I’ve introduced regular milk in small amounts. He’s done really well with everything so far. He also has 2 bottom teeth coming in finally, and that helps with eating real foods.
JJ also has a new look! Between getting a haircut and his eczema getting so much better, JJ looks like a whole different baby. I’m very happy about these changes. His hair was constantly in his eyes. Also the eczema had been an ongoing problem. We went to a wonderful dermatologist that helped so much. They prescribed a liquid prednisone and a medicated cream for him. I saw an improvement within 24 hours! I plan on writing a separate blog about caring for eczema soon. Anyways, now people can see his beautiful face, and he looks so much healthier and cared for.
JJ is getting so big and smart! He crawls so fast, and he pulls up on the couch and the tv stand. Also, whenever Javier and I leave a room, he follows us to whichever room we go into. It’s funny because when he comes after us, we can hear him coming because we can hear his hands slapping against the floor while he is speed crawling. He also gets into everything (including the cabinets)!
He also knows where to get all of his toys when he wants to play! Also, when he’s in the bathtub, most of the time I have to get into the bathtub with him because he knows how to turn on the water by himself, and he tries to stand up on the side of the tub. I don’t want him to slip and fall. On top of all of that, he also hates being changed. He tries flipping over and wiggling when I change him. He’s a mess!
Most of all, JJ has the sweetest personality. He loves to sing with me with his sweet little voice, and he loves to dance and laugh with me. He is so easy to make laugh too. His giggle is so sweet. Everywhere we go, he likes to reach for people and smile. He definitely gets all of the attention! He also gets so excited when his daddy comes home in the evenings. I love to watch their bond grow. It’s so special to me. He’s been saying “mama” for a few months, but now he is saying “dada” too!
I hope you enjoyed this update. I enjoyed writing it. JJ is at such a fun age, and he surprises me every day! Stay tuned for more blogs coming soon! ❤️

He’s so cute and growing so well! My daughter was 10 months yesterday – they really grow so quickly. She also has eczema. I find that applying some Vitamin E oil several times throughout the day has been working wonders. Will loo out for your post 🙂
It’s so fun to watch them grow! My 10 month old is doing a lot of these things as well and it’s fun to watch!
Adorable. Babies do grow and change so much it’s unreal. My youngest is almost 15 months and the changes in him month to month are still insane. Enjoy your little crawly muncher. 🙂

He is such a cutie! I love his cheeks!
aww on the eczema. it’s so hard, especially for little kids, to have to deal with it. Have you heard of glysolid glycerin-cream? it helped me with my eczema. seriously. it was given to me by my friend who felt sorry for me bec i had eczema on my fingers and the balls on the side of my feet. for years that just wouldn’t go away. I’m telling you, it’s now gone. Look it up and ask your pedia about it first.
Thank you!!
He is so cute! Eczema is a hard thing to deal with, and unfortunately everyone is different with it. I hope you find something that works for your little.
