9 months old

Sean, you're nine months old!!!

-You're a teething machine. You've got another tooth poking through your top gums and another one that's on the way. You've been drooling and chewing like nuts, but you're so smiley and silly - we didn't even notice it until daddy happened upon it by accident while playing with you.

-You are on the move! All of the sudden you can't sit still. You scoot, inchworm, creep, and sometimes crawl all over the place - and you're quick, too. Everyday you're discovering a new corner of the house or daycare - you even crawled under the cribs at daycare one day this week to go after a toy that had rolled away from you.

-You love to walk - holding onto someone, of course, and you love it. Just like when you crawl, you giggle hysterically or blow raspberries while you move.

-You're a friendly little bug, waving "hello" and "goodbye" to nearly everyone you see

-You're so curious! We definitely need to pump up the babyproofing. You're always looking into boxes or baskets and our favorite game these past couple of days has been to open and close the pantry door.

-You're noisy - in a good way. You make new sounds everyday and are constantly squealing, cooing, and shrieking. Today you've been trying out "fa fa fa fa"

-You're such a good eater and you're getting very independent. Your absolute favorite thing to eat right now is corn and today we found that you've lost your taste for avocado. You've been practicing really hard with finger foods, you love to feed yourself Cheerios and big chunks of bananas.

-We won't know your stats until Monday night, but I know you're growing like a champ - more often we're finding that you can't fit into clothes that you wore the week before! It really is head-scratching. Thank goodness for Carter's coupons.
