9 months and Filled with Adventure

Can you believe my baby is 9 months old?

Me either.

It seriously chokes me up to think that he is growing so quickly.

Can he just stay my baby forever? Here are some of things he has accomplished thus far:

*mastered the art of crawling and mischief
*opening up all doors and drawers
*crawling over to our stairs and almost falling down several times
{it is time to get the baby gate put back up}
*says "mamama" on a regular basis [I love love love this one!]
*pulling anything and everything out of my kitchen/bathroom cabinets
*become a human vacuum
*pulls himself to a stand on almost anything
*stands up at night in his crib and then cries because he cannot figure out how to get back down
*can crawl up to the second step of our stairs- downstairs baby gate is now up most of the time when we are down there :)
*loves to eat small finger foods such as bananas, rice, strawberries, bread, cheerios, veggie puffs, graham crackers, etc.
*drinks out of a sippy cup at meal time
*still LOVES sweet potatoes and carrots baby food
*has his two bottom teeth and must be working on some more lately {he has been unusually crabby}
*sleeps from 7pm-7am most nights
*crawls over to me and tugs at my pant leg and cries to be held
*loves attention from the older siblings
*still takes a pacifier and loves to hold his silky blanket when he goes to sleep
*is a total toe-head :)
*has our whole family wrapped around his pinkie

We sure love you little E
