Nine Months Old

Wow...nine months! As much as I want to be sappy, I think I'll save you all from that and just stick to the facts. Here's what our little man has been up to this month:

• Crawling around like crazy
• Pulling up on everything
• Getting into everything - doorstops, cords, etc.
• Spitting while eating - VERY frustrating for Mom and Dad!!!
• Learning the word 'no' (due to the afore mentioned items)
• Reading - he loves touch and feel books and books with sound
• Clapping
• Waving
• Talking - he's started saying dada, along with the /g/ and /n/ sounds, and saying 'brmmm, brmmmm,' all day long!
• Growing teeth - 2 within one week!
• Watching Mom and Dad cook - he loves sitting in his Bumbo seat on the counter and watching us (I know that's not safe, but I promise we watch him closely)

I hope to get his pictures and measurements tomorrow. We tried tonight, but he will NOT lay down long enough to be measured and have his picture taken.
