What a big boy at 9 months old!

I can't believe my little boy is 9 months old today! He is just growing so fast...and looking more like his daddy every day :)


We've got 4 teeth so far, and a few more that look like they're on their way through very soon! You can see the bottom two here:


And this was the little surprise that greeted me when I came to get Joshua from his afternoon nap!

This is the first time he's been standing up in his crib--he was quite pleased with himself!


Some recent achievements:
Going from crawling to sitting and back again with complete ease
Pulling up on his own
A number of bumps and scrapes from his adventurous ways
Enjoying new foods off Mommy and Daddy's plates
Taking baths in the big tub


Not a fan of:
The booger-bulb (he's had a summer cold and I've needed to use it a lot this week)
When Mommy leaves the room (the past few days have had lots of tears)
Feeding himself (he refuses to put food in his own mouth...but anything else is fair game)
The sippy cup (fun for playing, but not for drinking)


A few favorite things:
Mommy's water bottle and cell phone
Teething on Mommy's finger and Daddy's knee (and those sharp teeth hurt!)
When Daddy comes home from work
Chasing his ball around the house
Being outside (on walks, in his little pool, on errands with Mommy)
Naked time!

We love our big 9 month boy!
