9 Months

 

     My baby has grown WAY too fast, and I already feel like he isn't a baby anymore!  At nine months old, this little guy is ON THE MOVE.  He is into stuff before you can even blink.  Unfortunately, he loves the dog bowls, Emily's trampoline, the treadmill, the iRobot vacuum, and electrical outlets.  Besides a few falls here and there, we haven't had any drastic injuries yet.  I never really had to "baby proof" my house for Emily, but for Matt-- we are going to need some stock in baby proofing items for how much I am going to have to buy.   At 9 months old, he is:

  • Crawling very fast..
  • Cruising furniture
  • Climbing anything possible (and has no fear of heights)
  • Has 4 teeth with more coming in
  • Weighs 21lb (60%), 28.5in long (50%)
  • Wants to eat everything you eat, but spits out what he doesn't like
  • LOVES cookies of any kind
  • Only eats baby food squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, and yogurt.  Doesn't like fruits!
  • Thinks a sippy cup is still a toy :)
  • Dances to music of all kinds, including when I am trying to sing him to sleep...
  • Says "Mama", "Dada" but doesn't associate them with the person yet... soon hopefully!
  • Waves bye bye when prompted and thinks it is hilarious

Sweet Smile!

Sportin' his Clemson attire!

First time on the "big" swings

One of many doctor's visits this past month...

Sweet sleeping baby, sick with his first fever!

Getting his sweat test for CF-- negative! :)

At the doctor again...

Sick with a virus :(  Only happy when strapped to Mommy and walking on the treadmill!

This time-- fat and happy at the doctor for a well check!

Both of my babies asleep on me for nighttime-- priceless moment.

Prima Ballerina

     


     A few weeks ago, Stephen and I got to watch Emily's progress in her dance class.  She is very much a girly, girl and she LOVES to dance.  I was worried at first that we were going to have to quit dance class because she wouldn't dance early on, but after threatening to take her dancing shoes away, she started dancing and hasn't quit!  Here is a short video of her in class:

Halloween 2013

Happy Halloween!!!

Halloween kisses from Mommy...

He was WAY too distracted by all of the pumpkins to look at the camera.

Emily's Fall Festival at PreSchool!

Mrs. Stuart's PreSchool Class

Rapunzel... Or as Emily calls her, "Tangled" 
Sweet Girl

Almost Trick or Treat Time!



Love this face he makes.


We went to 3 houses in Aunt Ali's neighborhood (one of those 2 includes Ali's house), and then she announced "I'm done"!  But she did good saying trick or treat and thank you!

My little Golfer-  he did his trick or treating from the couch.
