9 months old!

Almost impossible to keep him still for a picture"talking" to us

showing off those abs

looking at Josh My baby is 9 months old today. He is not a baby anymore. This was by far the hardest month to take a picture because he is now into everything! He is getting so busy these days. He is so much fun and we have just enjoyed every minute of this past 9 months. (Even all the crying and being awake at night when his ears hurt) Today I was looking at him while he was in his high chair and he just looked like a little boy. Its hard to believe he will be 1 in just 3 months. Here is what he is up to:

-he weighs around 21 lbs, I have no clue how tall he is we will find out next week when we go to the MD

-he still is wearing size 3 diapers

-he wears mostly 12 month clothes but can wear some 9 and 18months clothes as well

-he is really starting to get some hair; it is a blonde/dirty blonde color

-he is still nursing and has never had formula (however I am feeling like soon I am going to start weaning him)

-he loves his vegetables, fruits, oatmeal and cereal and hates everything with texture or anything solid (even puff's)

-he loves his water and is getting pretty good with his sippy cup

-his schedule is so messed up these days due to him being sick but hopefully after tomorrow we will be better

-he naps pretty good but does not sleep in his bed at night. he screams like you are cutting his arms and legs off if you lay him down even after he is fast asleep(we are hoping this will end after they put tubes in)

-he had his first major accident- he fell off our bed on Sunday and landed on the wood floor on his knees and head. It was just the worst day of our lives. He only cried for a second and once Josh picked him up he smiled and started clapping. God protected him so much because he doesn't even have a scratch or bump on his face or legs.

-he is having his first surgery tomorrow for his ears

-he has had 5 ear infections since October

-he loves to clap his hands when you say "yeah" today he heard someone say "Yeah" on TV and he started clapping

-he will sometimes lift his arms in the air when you say "touchdown"

-he is standing up while holding on the things but does not crawl or pull up

-he has no interest in crawling he just rolls everywhere and gets what he needs that way

-he loves to walk while holding on to our fingers

-he waves "bye bye"

-he talks all the time and "Dada" is still his favorite word
