Last Friday, 30th December, Jenson turned 9 months – 9 months already! I really cannot believe where the time has gone.
He is a cheeky little boy and on the whole is such a smiley, happy and fidgety baby – doesn’t stay in one place for very long!
He has started sliding along the floor now – not proper crawling yet but he can still get around very quickly. When he does so in his sleep suits and I see the state of them when I pick him up it reminds me that I must start washing my floors more often now as he is in such close contact with it!! It makes me smile that if I pop to the kitchen to do something I soon here him swishing along the floor to find me!
He loves his big brother and now that Burton has started playing with him a bit more the brotherly bond between them is really beginning to show.
When Burton is making silly noises or being a bit cheeky to me or Daddy, Jenson finds this very funny. I think Burton makes him laugh more than anyone else.
He loves sharing a bath with his big brother and when they both get splashing me, daddy and the floor get a soaking!
I think he enjoyed his first Christmas – not that he really knew what was going on of course. He liked ripping the paper off his presents and trying to eat the wrapping paper – I was constantly wrestling him for the bit he manage to sneak into his mouth!
He certainly liked eating his Christmas dinner, unlike his brother, and was fascinated by the Christmas tree
He loves his food and is a pleasure to feed, but then so was Burton at this age so I guess I shouldn’t count my chickens just yet. Breast feeding seems to have stopped now. When he was ill before Christmas I stopped giving him his bedtime feed because he kept being sick while I was feeding it to him as he was coughing and then choking and then bringing up milk and phlegm! So we kept the morning one going but that seems to have all but stopped as he is only on my breasts for about 5 minutes and then gets cross so we move onto breakfast. The only problem is that he appears to wake up hungry at stupid hours during the night. Anytime from 3.30-6am, he is waking up and crying and not going back to sleep. So I have been getting him up and feeding him weetabix! I need to address this because he should be going through the night now and he was just before he got ill. He certainly eats enough while he is awake!
As with all 9 month olds he is into anything and everything he can get his hands on or take the walker to! He loves opening the drawers and cupboards in the kitchen, getting toys out of the toy cupboard and trying to grab my phone, iPad, remote control etc…
He is still VERY much a mummy’s boy and although daddy looked after him for a few hours while I took Burton to a birthday party last week, I am the one who gets him to sleep and puts him to bed, feeds him etc… so not surprising really. It’s funny how if I am not in the room he is fine being left with Daddy or another relative but as soon as he spies me he cries and wants me to take him!
Before I know it his 1st birthday will be here and then he will soon no longer be a baby but a toddler. *sighs*
Where does the time go?

Thank you xx
Thank you xx
wow!!! time does fly by!!!! I see Lil monkey running all over the place and speaking his first words (he will be 2 in one week’s time) and the littlest monkey has grown so much too… memories… is all we get in the end huh… 🙂
Ahh he’s so lovely, in some pics he looks like Burton and then he looks so different on other pictures! I hope he sleeps through the night v soon, (and I hope mine does too!!) happy 9 months to him!)
He’s SO CUTE! Elliot is almost 11 months now and is doing exactly the same. I was nodding my head as I read your post as I can relate to so much of it.
FWIW, Elliot used to sleep through and now doesn’t. I think it’s a habit he got into when he was teething a while back and doesn’t want to break as he knows he gets cuddles and a breastfeed if he wakes up. I keep telling myself it will pass and that babies don’t keep.
Both your boys really are lovely Jenny and you must be so immensely proud of them for being so damn cute! I can’t believe he is nine months- where is the time going!
Loved reading this. He is so cute and becoming a real boy and less of a baby.
Harry moves around on his back. Kicks his legs and away he goes. He did this naked the other week. I left him wrapped in a towel, popped into the kitchen and then went back into the lounge and he was THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LOUNGE! He moved so fast.
The photos are lovely. Doesn’t he look so much like Burton in the last one?? xx
I can’t believe he’s 9 months already! It seems like only yesterday that he was all floppy and littley at the Luminarium!
i know, i can’t believe it myself. i know they have to grow but wish it wasn’t quite so fast x
once they discover they can be mobile there is no stopping them! i can’t see Burton so much but maybe Jon which is unusual because he looks so much like my side of the family normally. xx
thank you, yes i am very! i know its scary how fast the time goes by isn’t it x
thank you 🙂
i think a to of Jenson’s waking up could be from the couple of weeks he was poorly and was up in the night having calpol and cuddles! i hope it will soon pass so i can get some sleep x
so true x
9 months? So he’s officially been growing outside of you longer than he was in. I found that a really strange milestone to pass, because it always seems that you’re pregnant forever.
He’s so cute Jenny, and turning into a proper little boy. And I just love seeing pictures of him and Burton together, lots of brotherly love!

Aaahhh what a gorgeous post and adorable photos. Where on earth does the time go? You really do have two gorgeous little boys xx
Time goes too fast, doesn’t it. Your boys are gorgeous. xxx
lovely post and gorgeous pics. Jenson sounds just like my Baby G, into
everything and fine with anybody unless I’m about. 5 and half weeks till she
turns 1 and like you I can’t believe how quickly it has come round. xxx
What a gorgeous happy baby or not really a baby anymore he is. x
