Alexis: Months Ten & Eleven

"Hickery, dickery, six and seven, hollowbone, crackabone, ten and eleven..."

Gotta love a good google search when trying to come up with a title for a blog post about months ten and eleven.  The above is an snippet from "Nursery Jingles" by Clara Doty Bates.  They say you learn something new every day, and for that you're welcome. I'm compiling another two-fer blog post for Alexis because I'm way behind in getting this out there and I'm afraid I'm going to lose the little piece of paper I have with scribblings about each month.  

Number Nine... Take Two

Number Nine... Take Two

So... I'm backdating this post to October 4, 2017.  The actual date Alexis turned nine months.  Why?  Because life got in the way of posting in a timely fashion.  So let's get down to business before I forget anything:

Number Nine

Nine has always been my lucky number.  It was my varsity soccer jersey number, Justin and I started dating on the ninth of February in 1999, my first dorm room was 309, and Justin and I got married in 2009.  It also just so happens that Jayson was born on the ninth of May, which means that this past Sunday (the ninth of February) he became 9 months old.  Yeah... nine whole months.  Which means I have three months until his first birthday.  I don't know whether to be happy about that fact or if I should start bawling.  What I do know is that month nine for Jayson has brought a lot of changes and this by far has become my favorite age of his.  He's just so much fun right now!
