9 Months Old!





Happy 9 Months Sweet Boy! The fact that I am already thinking about planning your first birthday party is enough to make me sit here and cry!! I love that you are growing up and learning all these new things but you were just a swaddled little infant only a few months ago. We couldn't believe when you first smiled, cooed, rolled over, recognized us, sat up, laughed out loud and now you have done so much more that we can't believe!

-You climbed up a flight of stairs all on your own - you saw Jack do it and it was like you two were having your own conversation - him telling you you could do it and you could! You always look back after each stair you climb to make sure we are watching.

-You crawl everywhere now - you will follow us anywhere we go in the house!

-You can stand on your own for a few seconds and take a couple of steps while someone holds your hands.

-You are developing a mind of your own and love to see what all you can get into.

-You are a boy in every sense of the word - you would love it if we would just let you climb stuff and then fall down - it cracks you up, you aren't easy with anything - you try everything with full force. You love climbing in your fire truck and then falling back out.

-You continue to be loud and scream at your toys - you screamed loudly at your toys last night for your Aunt and Uncle. You weren't crying - just yelling at them.

-You truly love to eat - you make this sound when we are feeding you that is hilarious! You grunt and grunt until the food gets to your mouth. You also flap your hands around - you are so excited!

-You have tried a few more foods but for now we have pretty much stuck with baby foods, some fruits, potatoes, tomatoes, and little bites here and there.....maybe a bite or two of icecream too!

-You have taken a sudden interest in all of your toys and you absolutely love being read to. You have a favorite book - the Snuggliest Snuggle - your face lights up when you open that book.

-You are still so interested in Boone and Buster but they pay you very little attention but you bounce up and down when they come in the room.

-You love playing - but generally not by yourself. You like it when we sit down there with you and you love playing with all your little friends/cousins.

-You have become a great sleeper but your internal alarm goes off EVERY morning between 6:00 and 7:15....it doesn't matter what time you go to bed that is the time you are waking up!

-There is only one person you want when it is bedtime and that is me - your daddy can get you to sleep but not if you see me. I love it and would be perfectly fine if this would last until at least your teenage years!

We love you and are so blessed that we are in this journey of life with you!
