9 months and counting

Our little cutie is now 9 months old, and he's started doing so much this month! He is making the thbbppst noise with his tongue, drinking water from a cup, clapping, pulling up to his feet, eating puree meats and some beginner finger foods (puffs, mum mums, green beans), and is squinting his eyes when he smiles real big.

Some things he loves to do is bang his toys around, steal toys from his daycare friends, and talk to his toys. He still loves to read books. He's noticing more of the details, and will even lick or put his mouth on some of the pictures (the red balloon and little mouse in the book "Good Night Moon"). We didn't go to the doctor this month, but according to our scale he is 20 lbs.

Thankfully he still hasn't developed separation anxiety, but he doesn't like is to be startled by new people picking him (usually when he's tired).

Here are some pictures of the little man.

He's chewing everything these days.

If you have not seen it make sure you watch the video of him laughing that we posted yesterday!
