Guess Who's Nine Months Old!

"Hey, everybody, I'm nine months old!"

"Yeah, I'm kind of a big deal."

He digs playing with tupperware while Mama cooks. Other kitchen favorites are the whisk and rubber basting brushes. Future chef?

This month we've really seen a development in his personality and desire to play. We have FUN!

1. Some of his new tricks: waving, giving "high five," rolling a ball, and clapping. He's very proud of himself when he does these things - Dad and Mom are pretty proud too.

2. He is up to five teeth, with the sixth not too far off.

3. He's gone pro with the sippy cup and solid food, but is still amateur in sleeping. He's not even close to qualifying for the olympics.

4. He's been very into his books lately.

5. He's starting to outgrow his 12 month clothes.

6. We've put up child gates! He's on the move, and we're thinking of getting him one of those push carts to help him learn to take some steps. He's shown interest in them at friends' houses.

7. He babbles and always seems to have something to say.

We CANNOT believe this boy's first birthday is looming on the horizon!
