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
