Nine Months!

 Oh my, you're nine months old today!  And we haven't even posted the eight month photos yet.  We have them, I promise.  They just aren't edited yet.  Fail. UPDATE--ALL THE PHOTOS ARE POSTED!


But...

You are the cutest, most adorable thing to grace my world.  And I've seen some cute and adorable things in my day.


The biggest change this month is your mobility.  You are fast--like lightening.  You especially love zooming towards outlets and cords, your HUMIDIFIER (you can't get enough of the humidifier), and the dogs water bowls.  You pull up on EVERYTHING.  You are getting so strong that you can almost lift your feet off the ground when you try to pull up on the built-in under the TV.  Thankfully, you have not discovered the stairs yet.  You are also not cruising yet, but you are using only one hand to hold on to things, so I think we are pretty close on that one.  You are starting to get into things.  You love trying to pull DVDs out of the bottom of the TV console and just last night, you emptied the contents of the diaper bag onto the living room floor.  The other day, you tried to open the Tupperware cabinet.  You're in for a real surprise when you do get it open and all the plastic containers avalanche towards you.  Much to Daddy's dismay, Mommy puts things away haphazardly.  It's probably time to do something about that cabinet....



You seem to be getting a bit annoyed with pureed foods.  Though not independent enough to hold your own bottle or reach for the spoon, you do seem to be preferring finger foods. Go figure.  You are doing well chewing since you now have five cute little teeth.  There must be more on the way because you are a drool machine.



You are still in those size three diapers, but you are getting ready to outgrow your 9 month clothes. At your nine month doctor visit, you were 19 lbs 9 oz (31st percentile) and 29 inches long (72nd percentile).

Daddy calls this your "Dwight Schrute" picture.  You don't even look like yourself, but it was impossible to get you to stay still for your blanket photo!


You continue to be the happiest baby of all time, and Daddy continues to be the funniest person of all time.  I'm so enjoying this age-- you're curious and independent and the perfect little sidekick.  Stay adorable, my sweet Angel.

A little local fame
