9 Months Old

Can you believe I'm 9 months old today?! Time goes so fast. I've been really busy this month exploring everything around me. I've learned how to situp, get up on all fours, crawl a few "steps" (usually backwards), and drink from a sippy cup.

My favorite games are playing my piano, talking to myself in the mirror, banging any and all toys together, seeing how many things I can pick up with one hand (usually 2 blocks), pulling my socks off my feet and banging them together or chewing on them, and stretching/rolling/lunging to get anything that mommy and daddy don't want me to have.

I'm also getting my first tooth. It's just barely poking through the gums. I'm eating pretty much the same stuff as last month. Mommy's tried giving me yogurt and finger foods, but I don't like either of them. Yogurt still tastes gross even with sweet potatoes mixed in, so you know it's bad! I hate the texture of finger foods. As soon as they touch my tongue, I crinkle up my face and start gagging. I'm sticking with the purees for now (especially my veggies, I love them!) and trying to steal the spoon as often as possible to feed myself.

This month was also busy with fun events - Easter, Vic & Margaret's 50th anniversary, Aunt Rhonda visiting, mommy's friend Kristi visiting, a playdate and a party with Kai and her friends, and meeting baby Evan.
