9 months

Yesterday, December 4, 2011, marked 9 months.  9 months, can you believe it?  Can you believe that this little boy has been growing for 18 months now?  Look at everything he is doing now!

* Doesn't like potatoes or peas.  Gag city!  But all else, he loves to eat, especially Mum Mums.  He smiles and kicks those feet as soon as he sees and hears the package.
* Crawling, crawling, crawling.
* Just starting to pull up to his knees.  Sometimes he'll pull up to his knees and put one foot on the ground, but he doesn't show any interest in pulling farther yet just yet!
* Loves to crawl to the back glass door and pull up to his knees and look outside, especially Quillen is outside. 
* Starting to make Sssss and Ttttt noises. 
* Still loves a good raspberry.  He's quite perfected that little noise.
* Loves when Dad comes home.  Man, does that make this little boy happy.
* Crawls all over the house in pursuit of Quillen, who now runs from him. 
* Always receives compliments from passersby at Kroger or Target.  He loves to sit up in those carts and check out all the people.  I'm pretty sure he's gonna be quite the little social butterfly...no idea where he gets that!  :)
* Changing a diaper has become a test of patience and cardiovascular endurance.  Sheesh.  It exhausts me.  It is just too hard to keep that little guy still for that long!
* He's just one happy little boy and such a joy to be with each day!  I've got it made!
