9 months

Sweet baby boy,

I can't believe that you are growing so fast and won't be a baby much longer. It is so crazy to me how much this first year is flying by.

You are moving around like a little crazy guy. You can crawl SO fast! Especially when you set your eye on something that you want, you just take off. Your fastest crawling seems to happen when you are trying to get to something you know you are not supposed to have. Like the stairs, the open refrigerator door, Gracie's food bowl, etc...

The weather is getting warm and we took you swimming for the first time this month. You absolutely loved it! You are such a little water baby. It seems like you have no fear whatsoever. You were sticking your face in the water and coming back up with a huge smile. I think swimming lessons are going to be a blast with you!

You can now walk assisted. Molly was very sweet to pass on to you this little green walking dinosaur. You were a little unsteady with it at first but within a couple hours you were cruising!! I am impressed. I am sure you will be up and walking on your own before long.

We went to the doctor this month for your check up and boy you have grown!! You are now 30 1/4" long which is 95 percentile. You are a very tall little boy. You weigh just under 21 lbs which is only 50 percentile. So you are very long and lean.

The doctor gave us the okay to give you more finger foods because of all your teeth. You currently have four on top and two on bottom. We have started feeding you a waffle in the morning. You LOVE it. I just tear it up into pieces and you gobble up the whole thing.

You are still good at eating all of your vegetables and fruit. We are introducing them to you in small pieces instead of pureed in baby food, you are starting to get the hang of it.

Your little personality is really coming through. You are a very social baby. You love when people are around and smiling for them. You have started this new smile that takes up your whole face it is so adorable. It is such a big smile that your eyes squint. I think you are just the happiest baby in the world!

You are still taking two naps a day and sleep 11 to 12 hours a night. Thank you for being such a good sleeper. It is such a blessing!!


We love you so much sweet boy. Thank you for bringing laughter and joy into our lives every single day.

Love you always and forever,

Mommy and Daddy
