<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The year is flying by and you are growing up more and more every day. Your four little teeth have really filled out your precious smile and we just fall more in love with you everyday. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">You're definitely starting to develop your own little personality this month and you're doing everything in your power to communicate with us. You can say your own version of "momma" "dog" and "baby" pretty well but you've learned how to shake your head yes or no when you see something you like or don't like and you point to everything. We've also managed to find other ways to ask for more of your favorite snacks instead of your original approach which was yelling at the top of your lungs. Those favorite snacks currently include Kix cereal, mandarin oranges, Pirate Booty, freeze dried strawberries, and bananas. Boy, do you love bananas. You've started eating noodles, eggs, soup, potatoes, chicken, brussel sprouts, and whatever else your Mommas are eating at dinner time as you've decided you're too grown up for any more baby food. Even some of your favorites will no longer do. You are drinking juice, water, and whole milk out of a sippy cup but your favorite is still your bottle. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">We kicked off the month with a few special events. Our good friends, Ellen & Nate are having a baby and we threw a party to reveal the gender to them in front of their family and friends. It was an excellent time and we can't wait to meet baby BOY Scott!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">You also helped your mommas in a very special Jones family tradition; setting up Nana's Christmas village. It has grown quite a bit every year but the ritual is essentially the same. It is bigger and better than ever before, adding an additional 30 inches to accommodate a Dickens themed graveyard. It turned out fantastic. It takes a few hours and you patiently (and not so patiently) waited for us to set up the scene. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">We upgraded our car this month! Your Uncle Silas helped us get a brand new Honda Accord! We got to the dealership late and had to wait a bit for everything to finalize so you and your cousin had to find some way to entertain yourselves...and each other. Your cousin Sydney has really taken an ownership in making sure you have everything you need. She makes sure you have your pacifier and/or ample snacks at all times. You two kept us laughing even though it was very late and you were both very tired.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">We experienced a bit of tragedy this month in the Webster House. Your buddy and Mommies' dog of over 8 years, Shane, passed away. You loved to play on him and kiss him straight on the nose. It was very sad and we still miss him and watching the two of you bond together. Its a bummer to know that you probably won't remember him but he played a very special role in your Mommies lives, he was our first baby before you. You two were good friends for however short a time.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">This Thanksgiving was an exciting weekend of family events! </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">You've started pulling yourself up on your feet more and more but haven't quite gathered the confidence to walk without holding someone's hand. On Thanksgiving morning before we left the house, you decided it was time to give it a shot. Since the Christmas decorations are </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">already out, the Disney christmas band your Mommies bought a few years ago has been on the window sill for a few weeks. You love it! You love to point up at the silent characters and wait with delight for one of your Mom's to cue up the band! Your hips swing back and forth and you crawl up as close as you can get to dance along and ask for encore after encore. But on this particular morning, you were so excited that you didn't even realize you'd left the safety of your walker and took 5 or 6 big steps toward the band! And we got it on camera! We sure love sharing these precious exciting moments with you, buddy.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">We celebrated at Nana's house in the morning with Great Uncle Ray and Great Aunt Connie, TT Nicole, and Keenan. It was a beautiful day and we took some family photos outside in the cool, clear weather. They turned out great for just some snapshots taken on momma's iPhone. The food was delicious and our tummies were full as we headed to your great Great Aunt Maribeth and Great Uncle Randy's house for our second Thanksgiving and round of family </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">shenanigans and good food. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">It was a packed with friends and family, some new, some old, and you vibed off all the positive energy.

You're really starting to take off and every time you try, you just get that must better. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">We ate, we laughed, we played games, we listened to your cousin Zack lay down some sweet tracks, and we headed over to your Aunt & Uncle Lal's house for a short sleep before meeting Grandma at 5 am for Black Friday shopping! We got you and your cousin hooked up with most of your Christmas and Birthday presents. It made for a 5am - 8pm day full of shopping, coffee, laughter, food, and good company. Your aunt Leslie was singing beautiful christmas carols as we drove from store to store to keep you happy. You sure love music. Even Auntie's acapella version of "O Come All Ye Faithful."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">You slept when you needed to and though you were getting fussy by the end of the day, we were not surprised.

<span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;">You are growing so fast and we are just doing our best to keep up with you. You are so sweet and easy going. You're happy to open up your mouth and give some nice sloppy kisses when you want to and we couldn't be happier to wipe your drool off my face after you give them. You'll be 1 next month and we get to celebrate Christmas for the first time together. We couldn't be more excited. You have a lot of people ready to give you fun toys and precious clothes. Let the party planning begin. Your first year of life is already coming to a close. How does it feel, buddy? We have loved (nearly) every minute of it.</span><br />

Can you believe you are 10 months old already? It sure has been a fun month for us! We are already drenching in you in holiday tradition. Of course, we would do anything to see that little face light up.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">We went on a rainy camping trip with your Aunt & Uncle and your cousin, Sydney. You two are really warming up to each other. Sydney had some reservations about this little baby that started coming around and sitting in her Momma's lap. That is her spot and she would have at least appreciated you asking her permission. Sydney showed you how to eat Crunch Berries and you showed her how to play with trucks. We stayed in the trailer most of the wet weekend but built a big fire and you and Sydney alternated taking naps throughout the day in the stroller. You sure do love being outside.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Your Mommas have been taking your uncle Jaiden to the pumpkin patch every year since he was 3 years old!! It was pretty special to take you with us this year, our fifth year in a row. It was wet (again) so we just bundled you up and strapped you onto your Momma's chest for safe transport. You were a total trooper as your uncle walked us around the entire patch looking for a round pumpkin with no green and a long stem. Finally we walked out with the perfect one and enjoyed a little bonfire and hot cocoa. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">We also went to the Harvest Fest in Hood River with your Grandma, Mike, Uncle Larry, Aunt Leslie, Uncle Silas, Sydney, and your Mommas for a little fall tradition, good food, and fresh fruit. Your Uncle Silas rented his dream car, a brand new Honda Odyssey mini-van. He was so happy to finally have an excuse to take 'er out for a spin. You are getting more and more adventurous and it is sometimes a little difficult to stay on the sidelines in the stroller but you did the best that you could! It is pretty awesome to continue our yearly traditions with you as a part of each one. You are a very flexible dude and don't mind a jam-packed social schedule.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">We took your first two flights this month...nearly back to back. One week, your momma and you flew to Texas to meet your Nana and uncle Mike, aunt Amanda, and your cousins, Aaron, Aidan, and Ella. That was an adventure. It was almost 6 hours on a plane, 2 hour layover, and an hour long ride to uncle Mike's house. You slept most of the way but Momma was still getting over a cold and we were both very happy when we saw your grandma, aunt, uncle, and cousins at the gate! In fact, you were so happy that you squealed out and started waving like you'd always known how. Ever since then, you started waving back to anyone who catches your glance.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">We went to the pond and fed turtles. There were tons of turtles, all different sizes, shapes, and colors. They kept coming out of nowhere, you could see their little heads poking out of the water as they swam toward us from across the pond. We spent some time down by the ocean and spotted sea turtles and pelicans on the pier. You even took your first ferry ride! You sure seemed to enjoy the sight seeing!! You really loved your cousin, Aiden in particular. You kept following him around the house and planting kisses on him. He was happy to claim you in return. He kept calling you "his baby."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">As luck would have it, there was a Hurricane developing off the Gulf of Mexico near your uncle's house and the weather caused the airline to cancel our flight home. We had to arrive early for our new flight because Mommy left her ID on the plane to Texas and we needed extra time to clear security. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">The next several hours sort of went like this: Full pat-down and luggage search at security for Mommy. Thankfully, your Nana was traveling with us this time and you sat with her and flirted a bit with the TSA ladies. Weather conditions delayed the new flight schedule three times, by three hours. A lightning advisory at Corpus Christi airport would not allow fuel trucks to refuel our plane, leaving us on the runway for an additional 45 minutes. After we arrived in DFW Nana, Momma, and you (in stroller), sprinted and light railed more than 20 minutes through one of he busiest and largest airport in the country to make our connection flight home. We made our boarding call by 10 minutes!! You seemed to reach your limit on that last flight home. Your snacks seemed less exciting, toys less interesting, and Mommy and Nana less entertaining. We passed you back and forth as much as we could to mix it up and keep you comfortable but you were thrilled to get off the plane and see your Mommy!! Luckily, your carseat made the connection to our flight in Portland. Unluckily, none of the luggage did.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">There was a lot of excitement between the tropical storm weather, meeting all those new family members, and over 10 hours in a plane, I guess we shouldn't have been too surprise that you caught some sort of bug. We got home late Saturday night and by Monday morning, you had a 103 degree temperature and couldn't do much but sleep and snuggle mommas. We already had a trip to Fort Collins planned the following Wednesday and we were relieved to see you snapping out of it Tuesday night and perked up to your normal self for the journey Wednesday morning. It was pretty heart wrenching to see you feeling so crummy for these first time mommies. You were feeling good enough to plant a few smooches on yourself when we arrived at the hotel in Denver Wednesday night.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Fort Collins with the Smallies was an absolute blast. You had a terribly upset tummy your first night there and didn't sleep for most of the night and your Mommies did their best to comfort you. Things turned around for you the next morning and, per usual, you loved being outside. Colorado was a great way for you to get outdoors and adventure. We bundled you up and took you to see your first snow. You thought it was delicious.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">This month flew by and the holidays sneaking up around the corner, our calendar is filling up quickly. Your birthday will be here before we know it! You have really developed a lot this month and we get excited about every little milestone. You are getting better and better at cruising your walker around the front room, feeding yourself snacks by taking bites of things like cookies or crackers, saying "mama" when you see one of your moms, and pointing to and recognizing objects that make you excited. You love small stuffed animals, trucks or anything with wheels, any toy that makes noise when you shake it or hit it against something, and sharing whatever your mommas are eating. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">You are definitely giving your mommas a run for their money this month. You are a speed crawling machine. You love crawling around the house following The Mommas or your dog, Shane, everywhere they go. You crawl from one side of the living room from toy to toy stopping for a yogurt melt or two along the way. You LOVE to be picked up and held but you're also really enjoying your independent exloration time. You've gotten quite a few bonks on the head but we just can't stifle your adventerous spirit. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Now that you've mastered your crawling skills, you're ready to stand on your on two feet, literally. You are steady on your feet and enjoy standing up and crankin' out some tunes on your music table (thanks Aunt Leslie!), cruising up and down the hallway on your walker, and pulling yourself up on everything from the couch, to the garden bed to smell Grandma's flowers, or to climb up your Mommas' legs. We even had to lower the crib to keep you from jumping out!</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">One of your favorite things to do is pull your self up on the back patio door and slap your little hands on the glass while you squeal at your dog. When Shane is inside, it is hard to keep you two apart. You're always crawling on him and using him as leverage in your leg work outs by grabbing on to his ears, head, or chest and lifting your little body up and down and up and down and over and around and back down again. That old dog just sighs and licks your face. Annoyed? Maybe. But definitely smitten. And patient.</span></div>

You, Sydney, Kennedy and Swen all went to the zoo with your Mommy, Aunt Leslie, and their cousin Shulamith and Aunt Terrianne. We all had a delicious dinner at your Nanny's house and it was really special to see so many generations in the same place at the same time. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Your Momma, Carley, went on a business trip to Brazil for a whole week! It was just you and your other momma at home at the bachelor pad and let's just say we were all very happy to be reunited. It takes two Mommies to keep this house running. Luckily, you've been doing really great and you slept in your crib every single night until at least 6:00 or 7:00. It probably helped to see your momma everynight on FaceTime!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">You are getting to be such a big boy! We are both so proud of how much you are learning and growing. You are so eager to try new things and see new places. You're becoming quite the Mommas' boy and that is no problem for us. All three of us will be happy when we get though your teething stage. Your two tiny bottom teeth are getting some company in that precious little mouth of yours as your top two teeth make their way in. They still haven't quite cut through but they are well on their way.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Hey there baby boy!</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">You're 8 months old and even though we wouldn't have thought it possible, we love you more every single day. We better just warn you now, you're destined for a life of "awww" and "you're so cute" and two very emotionally invested Mommas. We have absolutely loved this month. You are really starting to connect with us in the most precious of ways. Nothing seems to make you as happy as seeing a Momma after they've been away for a while a work. It sure melts our hearts. You light up and start jumping and clapping your tiny little hands together. It makes the days at work go by just a little faster and it makes shaking off the stress of work a whole lot easier.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">You finally did it, little man, you inch-worm crawled your way all the across the room!</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br>We couldn't believe it! You've really been working at it and apparently all we needed to do was tempt you with a little piece or two of watermelon! Now that you've got it down, your baby soft knees are feeling it. You're in the process of building up some calluses on your knees and they get all red when you've been crawling around a bit. </span><br>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We wouldn't be too surprised to see you take your first few steps on your own in the next month or two. We even thought you might just skip crawling all together. You are always pulling yourself up on things and standing solo for 5-10 seconds all by yourself. (We're sure when you read this, you won't think that's a big deal. Just wait til you have a baby of your own, Son.) Can't wait to see what you learn this month!</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Speaking of being tempted by food, you are loving everything you eat! We are doing our best to find something that you don't like but we have had no luck. Your favorites are avocado, banana, melon, and oranges. You are always happy to share a piece or two of licorice or a few licks of a mommas' ice cream! You've sampled a few handfuls of sand and twigs which have all been well received. Nothing seems to sooth you as much as curling up with a fresh bottle.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br>You finally cut through your second tooth. Although we loved your single little "Popeye" tooth, your two bottom teeth fill up your precious little smile and help you chew up some of your favorite treats.</span><br>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We went to the zoo for the first time with your Mommas and your uncle Jaiden. It was hot and a lot of the animals weren't out where we could see them. We spent a lot of time running your stroller through the misters stationed around the zoo while your uncle ran through them next to you. You did have an awesome interaction with a chimpanzee who picked his nose but other than being the cutest tiger in the zoo, you didn't seem to care about the big animals yet. It was no disappointment as you were in the best mood all afternoon and kept everyone's spirits up.</span><br>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br>We went on what we are sure will be the last camping trip of the summer. You and your cousin Sydney got some serious bonding time. It is really awesome to see the two of you creating memories together even before you'll remember them. We all got a kick out of watching you and Sydney play together, share your toys, and teach each other new things.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Watching you in nature definitely feels like watching you in your natural environment. You love being outdoors and seem to derive a sense of inner peace from it. In fact, you were so at ease, you were taking 3 naps a day! You love getting in the water and watching everything as it flew by you on the pontoon. We are so proud of how well you sleep in the tent, stay calm and relaxed by yourself (or with your cousin Sydney) in your pack and play while the Mommas tidied up around camp or cooked dinner.</span></div>

You have spoiled us by sleeping through the night pretty much from the time we brought you home. You are giving it your best efforts but some nights you just need to snuggle your mommas while your second tooth makes its debut. Between Mommas and Nanny Cheryl, you've been on many grocery store runs this month for your absolute favorite teething pain reliever: celery! (its also worth noting that you had your first successful unassisted shopping cart ride in your Tigger outfit below...)</span></div>

We welcomed a new member to our family this month, Ursula the African Leopard Tortoise. We drove out to Oregon City to pick her up and met her mom, Tank. She weighed more than 30 pounds! Ursula is almost a year old, fits in the palm of your mom's hand and will hopefully grow up to be as big and beautiful as her mommy.</div>

On your first trip to the river, you waded right in without hesitation! You were the cutest babe on the beach!</div>

Searching for more fun in the sun, we headed to the 2015 Sandy Mountain Festival. Sandy is where your mom, Julia, grew up. It was really special to take you there and watch you soak up the sights around you. You are so curious and anxious to learn, see and try new things. Your Nana and Aunt Connie are absolutely smitten with you and the entire morning turned out to be an excellent event for all of us.<br />

You also helped your Mommy, Julia, and Nanny Cheryl "babysit" Ethan and Gwen while their mom, Brooke, was working with your other mommy, Carley. We all had too much fun at OMSI and Bullwinkles playing with shark teeth, learning how to unload a crane, and laughing at Gwen and Ethan while they completed an electric current. Of course, you napped when you needed to and almost made it the full three days before losing your cool. We actually slept like a rock that night. Such a trooper.</div>

enjoyable moments for your mommies this month was probably our very first
Mother's Day as a family. We packed up and headed to Seaside to enjoy the beach
together for the day. We set up our sunshade on the beach and watched you play
in the sand (and eat a little bit of sand) and tell stories to us at the top of
your lungs. </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">Your smile and little voice are infectious. </span><br>

growing up so fast, we can barely keep up with you! At your last pediatrician
appointment, you weighed 16 lbs. and 12 oz. (+9lbs 14oz since birth) and 25.75 inches long (+6.25in since birth). You have started
to recognize both of your momma's, finally realized that we have dogs, eating
Stage 1 baby foods (bananas and carrots are your favorite), laughing, playing
with toys and putting everything in your mouth. The last few weeks, you've even
given a few solid attempts at holding your own bottle and putting your pacifier
in your mouth.</span></div>

celebrations this month as well!! You celebrated Red Nose Day, your aunt
Katie's birthday, your aunt Sam's doctorate dissertation, and your momma
Carley's birthday. Momma's birthday this year was pretty special because your
great grandma and grandpa, and your great aunt and uncle came to town to
celebrate. We all spent the day together enjoying our city and you got to know
a whole other side of your family. You sat through Aunt Sam's dissertation and
you were so quiet that no one even knew there was a baby in the room! The heat
ended up getting the better of you that day but you were a total champ the
whole time!</span></div>

AS always, you're always improving on your crib sleeping but you really love to snuggle the mommas and you make it really hard to say "no" when your so happy to see us in the middle of the night at your cribside.</b></span><br />
