nine months

man did this month go by fast! not sure how much he weighs, but it's probably closer to 17/18lbs. he has gotten to be a pro at sitting up unassisted for over 15 minutes straight. which gave him the big boy status for riding in the shopping cart seats and high chairs when out to eat.

sleep is still the same: 7:00pm until 6:00am. takes two large naps during the day. eats fruits for breakfast and veggies for dinner. he loves to swim and splashes and kicks his feet in the water.

we broke out the 12 month clothes, if we haven't already because momma was too impatient to wait any longer for new outfits. she also has a bad habit of bidding for baby converses on eBay too. he now has at least two to four different colors in each size from 3-8. oops.

he loves his puppy, and get so excited when she comes near him. it's so cute to see. can't wait for that friendship to grow was he becomes more mobile. loves paper, we found that out quick at christmas. and anything new that is within reach. we are a pro at rolling over and have started to move his knees up to his belly, but no forward crawling movements yet.

he has been spending a lot of time with his aunt, and giving momma a break on baby-watch 24/7. she has to admit, it's kinda of nice to be able to get a lot more work done without constant interruptions. auntie has been a god-send! and he is loving all the extra attention and snuggles for her.

can't believe how close we are to a year old. those newborn memories seem so distance already. thankfully we have videos and photos to reminisce when that time comes, in only three short months. he hasn't been able to witness snow yet, but hopefully some will fall soon so we can break out his new-to-us baby sled. happy nine months sweet cheeks, goober, peanut. :)
