9 MONTHS OLD!
Jayden is 9 months old today! That really flew by quickly. I can’t believe how much he has grown, even just since turning 8 months. It’s incredible how their little personalities change and develop.. It’s amazing to watch. Not only is my baby boy 9 months old but he’s been sitting up on his own with zero help now for a month, he claps his hands, he says Dada, Dad, Ma, Mama, and I swear he says “Hiiiii” after waking up and we go into the room! SO SO CUTE. He’s been rather lazy when it comes to crawling. He doesn’t do it yet. He rolls all over the place. He wants to go to the entertainment stand to mess up the DVD’s on Mommy? he rolls. He wants to follow his brother and sisters? He rolls… It’s too funny. If hes laying on his tummy and he wants to turn around to see someone he will use his hands to scoot himself around. He really doesn’t need to crawl hes got the rolling and the scooting all figured out! He’s also eating pretty much all baby foods including the 12 month ones with chunks of spaghetti, noodles and all that good stuff. Once he finishes off the baby foods we have we will be able to just feed him what we eat at meals and snacks! He’s doing amazing. His 9 month check up and needles is this coming Tuesday. I can’t wait to see what he weighs and how long he is now! My baby is getting so big!
CELL PHONES
If you follow me on Twitter you probably know that earlier in the week Jayden was playing with my Blackberry. Well he had it in his hands for maybe 5 minutes and it turns out he drooled so much on it that it got water damage. I’m talking turning the water damage indicator sticker inside behind the battery bright red.. Not even light pink, or pink… Bright red! It was white before he got his hands on it. It wouldn’t work so I of course turned the blow dryer on it for at least 2 minutes and then quickly turned it off because I knew I’d probably do it more harm than good (yep, I’m smart!) and instead I put it in a zip-lock baggy full of minute rice. I let it sit for over 24 hours and it was still wonky so I left it for another 24. After 48 hours it worked perfectly, not a problem. I’m not happy though, so I decided instead of waiting until it craps out on me again or heaven for bid one of the kids touches it and does something to it I’m just going to get a new phone! I’m getting the LG Eve. That beautiful piece of electronic hardware you see at the beginning of this post. I CANNOT WAIT!
I did a lot of research and at first I was going to go with the LG Xenon but after reading tons of reviews I decided against it. According to just about every review I read yhe screen sucks and get lots of bubbles, and its plastic! It’s not a smartphone and has no apps! The Eve on the other hand has an awesome screen which is touch, it has a slide out QWERTY keyboard, a 5.0mp camera, Apps and much much more. They call it “The Poor Mans iPhone” I was going to wait and buy it out right but its $399.99 and having 4 kids when would I really have that in the budget to go spend on myself? I wouldn’t. So my hubby suggested I wait until my old Blackberry Pearl, that he was using but broke and is now using a crap phone himself was up for a hardware upgrade which would be this coming May and upgrade to the Eve. Well, because I’m so impatient I decided to call the phone company yesterday and see when I’m able to have the upgrade could I upgrade to another smartphone. Turns out I could, and she said it was allowing her to upgrade me RIGHT NOW! Of course, I did it! The only thing is I had to change from a blackberry DATA plan to just a normal smartphone data plan so I have to swap SIM cards with my hubby… so changing the number AGAIN. So annoying. But he gets my Curve, and I get my Eve… so it works out! I also only have to pay $69.99 and I get a $50 mail in rebate too! So, in 3-5 business days it shall arrive at my door! :)
ONLINE JOB SCAM UPDATE
A couple posts below this one is about an online job scam my hubby came across and I posted about it in hopes it would help others and hopefully help them not lose $10 like my hubby did. Well, my post worked! So far 2 people have left comments stating they came across that very ad and after the woman asked them to send $10 for a training package they googled and found my website and my blog about it! Which is exactly what I was aiming for! I’m so excited that I was able to help and keep people aware. If you happen to find my site because of the scam ongoing with the email address servicehelp2010@hotmail.com or workers46@live.com please leave a comment, or email me and let me know! Also, if you could report your experience to the proper authorities these people can be stopped!

I’m so annoyed with online scams. I’ve been scammed a few times, but luckily didn’t give anyone any money. They were just supposed to pay me. I should write a blog post about it.

You should Nancy!! Even if its only to help others out too and not be scammed!! I didn’t realize how many online scams there really is.. I never really searched, until this happened and I was shocked!

Aww, Jayden is getting so big and such a handsome little man! Gracie doesn’t crawl either but she rolls over and scoots in circles all over. Haha. You could also try disputing that claim with paypal for false advertising and no product really received and you might get your money back too.

He is getting so big… its crazy how fast it goes!!!
I did report to paypal and I haven’t heard anything back yet. It’s probably safe to say we lost the $10 but if we can stop others from losing their $10 or even $15 falling for this than I’m glad I wrote these blogs! :D

I can’t believe he’s 9 months already! Elise is going to be 6 months tomorrow - where on earth has the time gone?!

My younger two both rolled everywhere for ages before crawling, too! They got really fast at it and I wondered whether they would crawl before they walked - they both eventually did.
Thanks for stopping by my blog, it’s much appreciated - and good for you with the scam-busting! The more information that gets out about these crimes, hopefully the fewer people will be ripped off.

Wow I did not know drooling could do so much damage to a phone! I wish I had known about the rice trick with my iPod touch. It got water damaged over a year ago, ended up in a freezing cold river inside a backpack, then left in the backpack a few days before I realized it was in there… would have been good to know lol

Jayden is sooooooooo gosh darn cute! I think it is fantastic you posted about the scam. Something similar happened to me a couple years ago with people asking me to pay them to take the postal battery exam for the us post office… I was about to rattle off my CC# when something struck me as odd and I hung up. So greatful cuz I did my research and found the post office was posting ads saying not to respond to those people! It sucks that the sharks out there are trying to take advantage of the unemployed during this economy. BLEH!
