Swingin' Nine Months

I can't believe nine months has already gone by. Every day, every month, I can't imagine loving him more or enjoying him more, but we do. We are blessed with an amazing little boy who makes our lives richer. We love you, sweet teething boy.
New things at nine months:
Bouncing toys off the floor
Cheesy grin with scrunched-up face
Tooth!
Belly laugh
Loving the bottle (Mom's so glad it's not her anymore!)
Kisses - slobbery and open-mouthed - they're the best
Crawling EVERYWHERE
Meeting us when we come home or into a room
Watching Handy Manny in the morning
Talking more - da da da and ba ba ba
Eating "real people" food a lot - loves crackers and French fries
Standing up while holding onto anything and everything
Loving books being read to him
Singing time, still, but more observant of songs and actions
Hugs
Playing in his room with his toys
ADORES bath time, eating his rubber ducky and filling it with water
Still loves oatmeal, and downs it like nothing else
New swing outside (as seen in pictures)
Uh Uh Uh excitement noise as he crawls everywhere
Took off his own pants today
Plays with the magnets on the refrigerator
Very ticklish
Gives raspberries

Easter Best

No smiles, but a cute outfit and darling boy, nonetheless.

Like Father, Like Son

Paul's Hat made out of Thumper

Gray Hair!

14 years of teaching twelve to fifteen year old hormonal students = No Gray Hair
Nine Months of Cael = I can feel them coming.

We don't need a puppy. We have Cael to unravel a roll of toilet paper.

The same day as the toilet paper escapade, he wanted to take a bath in the middle of the day.

Oh, sure, behave and sleep for Breonna!

He would cry when she wasn't holding him. :)I'm a little pony, clippity-clop, clippity-clop...
