In a blur of colds, sleepless nights, teething, family visits, and a funeral (we'll miss you great grandma Galbreath), I missed the opportunity to post on the 6th. On January 6th my favorite little man turned 9 months old! I cannot believe that he has been living outside of me almost longer than he lived inside me!! Craziness. However, at the same time, it's hard to remember life without him. He is such a bundle of joy. He smiles 90% of the time. If he isn't smiling it probably means that he is hungry or tired or just wants to be held. He is such a cuddlebug and LOVES to be held! He also loves his big sister more than anything else in the world. All she has to do is walk into the room and he lights up! He's starting to appreciate his furry sibling (Carmen) more and more everyday. He loves to eat and is starting a few little finger foods (and he thinks that is so fun!). Loves bathtime. Rolls all over the place and doesn't seem to have much desire to crawl. Has 4 teeth, 2 on bottom and 2 on top (laterals) but still no top front teeth. Says "dadadada" and some other jibber-jabbers, but no "mama" yet. If we ask him to say "dada", he just giggles and gives you a big grin and then usually obliges. And he is still growing like crazy!
He had his 9 month appt. today, and he is 21 pounds (50-75th%ile) and 30" long (95th%ile).
I love this serious face... I'm sure it was quickly replaced by a toothy, dimply grin.
Checking himself out in the mirror... one of his favorite things to do (typical male).
I always see him looking down into this mirror and then I see his little cheeks puff up and I know that he is smiling at himself. I had to capture this moment when I saw him doing it the other day!
That's a handsome fella in there!
