I can't believe that Jamison is 9 months! He has been the most amazing thing in Andy and I's lives and we couldn't imagine life without him.
We had our first mother's day together and Andy, Liz, Roxanne, and I ran the Race for the Cure 5k. It was a great time. After that we went to Thelma's and had a brunch. It was the best mother's day ever.
In other news Jamison is almost standing on his own! He stands by himself for a few seconds at a time and is walking behind and around things. He is starting to open and shut doors and he said Dada for the first time! He is such a happy baby! He is also starting to eat more solid foods like rice cakes and graduates puffs and yogurt melts. He still has a lot of formula (about 4 bottles a day) but he also eats 3 meals a day. He loves to get into everything including our pantry and cabinets.
We have also had another recent change. Andy has accepted a new job with Mid American Energy as a computer programmer and he is looking forward to the new opportunity.
If you want to look at some more pics of mother's day, our minneapolis trip that we took in April to see Dana, Aaron, and Kaden, and recent pics here is the link http://www.flickr.com/photos/thegouldfam/sets/72157624086431630/show/with/4613185775/.

8 months old!
Today Jamison is eight months old! I can't believe we have had him for 8 months already. He is growing so quickly. Sometimes when I rock him I just want time to stop so he can always by my baby.
Last week was a rough week. Jamison had an upper respiratory infection and ear infection. I took off work on Thursday so I could take him to the doctor and so he wouldn't have to go to daycare. Andy stayed home with him on Friday. He will go back to daycare tomorrow.
Jamison is now starting to be able to sit down after standing! Before he would just fall down, but now he is intentionally sitting down when he doesn't want to stand anymore.
By the way the pic is from Easter Sunday. Well better go the little guy just woke up from a nap.

He is also eating a lot more. He has tried cherries, blueberries, peaches, peas, squash, ground turkey, sweet potato, and bananas to name a few.
We also needed to do another sweat test from our last follow up appt with Dr. Wallace, a pediatric pulmonologist. He suggested we do another one because Jamison was borderline on his first test. We did the sweat test last Friday. Jamison did awesome and didn't even cry. All the nurses were surprised that we were done with the test cause they usually hear kids screaming blood murder, but Jamison was a trooper. If you remember from one of my previous entries we did a sweat test to check for Cystic Fibrosis. You have 2 electrodes and current will go through the electrodes to make him sweat. This last test was negative which means that he definitely doesn't have Cystic Fibrosis, but he does carry the gene. We were so relieved.
While we were up in Sioux Falls getting the test done we went the the Kids Superstore and bought a jogging stroller. We absolutely love it! We have been running with it almost every day since we bought it. Jamison likes it too. He is pretty chill in it and usually falls asleep. Andy and I are training for the Susan G Kommen Race for the Cure on Mother's Day. We are super excited for the race! We will let you know how it goes!
Andy just ran a 5k and placed 3rd in his age group and Roxanne also ran the race and got 2nd in her age group. Well it is getting late and Jamison is in bed so I am ready for bed also.

Having fun with Jamison!
The most amazing thing ever is to hear Jamison laugh! I hope you enjoy this video. We were having a fun Sunday at home.
Cancun
We just got back from Cancun, Mexico a week ago! It was such a great time and we took Jamison with us. We went to Crown Paradise Club, an all inclusive resort, and that was definitely the way to go. We went with Andy's parents Steve and Roxanne. Jamison loved the ocean. When we put him in the pool for the first time he cried but he soon got used to it. Here is the link for all of our pictures http://www.flickr.com/photos/thegouldfam/sets/72157623527650036/show/
Onto other news Jamison is 6 months old! I took him for his 6 month appt last Monday and he is 13lbs 2 0z and is 25 3/4 inches long. He has grown 2 inches in 2 months! He is in the less than 3rd percentile for weight and 25th percentile for height. The doctor didn't seem to be too worried about his weight since he had grown 2 inches.
Jamison is also scooting everywhere now and grabs and swats at objects. He is starting to sit up unassisted and he is getting pretty good at holding bottles himself. His new fave thing is to make farting noises with his mouth. (Pretty sure he learned that at daycare!) We have started him on solids and so far he has had peas, zucchini, squash, avocados, and bananas. He doesn't seem picky at all. He also loves rice cereal and says mmm when he eats it. I think he will be a good eater!

5 months old!
I can't believe it! Jamison is 5 months old as of yesterday. AS you can see in this picture he likes to put everything in his mouth. He is truly starting to look like a little boy. He can now sit up assisted. He loves to use his hands and you better watch out cuz he will pull your hair and anything else he can get into his hands. He is doing really well with rice cereal and we are still breastfeeding and supplementing with formula. He has also started laughing and it is the cutest thing ever! He also rolls on his side but hasn't rolled all the way over quite yet. He is just a joy to have around and we coulden't imagine life without him!
Jamison's Baptism
We had Jamison's baptism on 1/10/10 at Sunnybrook Community Church. The baptism itself was short and sweet. Then we had a reception at our house. We had a good turnout to the baptism and Jamison got a bible, a monkey blanket, money for his college fund, and a 10 commandments wall hanging. He got some great gifts!
