9 Months Old

 
At Nine Months You:
  • Are pulling your self up on anything you can reach, letting go, balancing, and then grinnng at whoever sees you as if to say, "Look at my new balancing trick!"
  • Love to balance on your feet, but won't take a step yet
  • Are still wearing 12 months clothes
  • Have mastered picking up puffs and eating them, but this also means you are able to pick up anything off the floor and try to get it in your mouth!
  • Are starting to be a little stinker, getting into cupboards, boxes, and drawers!
  • Are waving 'bye-bye'
  • Will lie down like a tiny new baby in our arms right before bedtime and be rocked as long as we want to, it's my absolute favorite part of the day, you're so calm and peaceful, happy to lie there and relax.
  • Really don't suck your thumb anymore, which is great, now we have no habits to break!
  • Love to hold and shake anything that'll make a noise, your favorite is a little maraca at Grandma's house, you get the biggest grin.
  • Still love to play 'I'm gonna get you', peek-a-boo, pat-a-cake, and such.
  • Have started to act on your feelings a bit. When I get you in the morning, clearly you're starving because you start to throw your head around and pump your legs up and down to show how much you want that bottle! And at night, before bed, you get a little silly and we can tell you're trying to laugh and have fun.
  • Adore your grandparents, parents, and sister :)
  • Have fallen in the percentages, in the 50s and 60s now for weight and height instead of 80s, 90s. The Dr. says it's because now you're so on the move! You seem perfect to us!
  • Still love to try to suck on Mama's chin, but now those two little teeth are in the way!
  • Are the most adorable little thing that brings such joy to all you meet!
Love you sweetheart!

I love this little one, growing and learning new things every time I see him (which happens to be often) I loved rocking him in my arms the other night, he is so happy and content just to lay there. (do you know how lucky you are)?

oh we do mom, we just cherish the ability to sit and rock him and just stare at his sweet face.
