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.

Crib Escapades (Updated)
Each day I figure out a new way to try and escape or play in my crib. Here's a few pictures mommy captured of my fun.
Here I am peeking through the side. I watch mommy and daddy leave the room (so I know when to start crying) and peek out when I wake up from my nap. It worked really well until last week when I learned to situp. Now I can just look over the rail instead.
Last night I tried getting to the camera eyeball again, but it's still too high after daddy moved it. Luckily I found the cord though so I yanked on it and made the camera move up and down. It was really cool and got mommy and daddy's attention fast.
UPDATE: I had to add this picture from today. It was so awesome. I pulled myself up to standing and was able to reach over the crib and pull out the basket on my changing table. I didn't find anything very interesting in there, but I had fun looking.

I've been practicing talking a lot lately and I'm getting pretty good at making different noises. I haven't combined them into any words yet (at least ones that mommy and daddy can understand), but they sound really cool.
Here's a video of me telling daddy that I love him. Ok so maybe not, but it makes mommy and daddy happy so let's humor them.

Going Mobile....Almost
Well I haven't figured out this crawling thing yet, but I think I'm getting really close. I started out by rolling around to my toys or turning in circles while seated. That worked okay, but I couldn't get to anything directly in front of me and I couldn't sit up once I found the toy I wanted.
Now I learned how to sit up by myself, so I can grab a toy and then sit up and play. It makes playtime so much more fun. Although naptimes are a little rough because I like to sit up in my crib too, but then I play for too long and get overtired and grumpy. Here's a video of me sitting up:
I've also figured out how to get up on my knees (that one leg kept getting stuck underneath me, but I finally figured it out). I can't quite move forward yet, but I'm getting stronger and it won't be long. Here's a video of my first forward movement (watch closely!):
Mommy and daddy better start baby-proofing. I just need the right toy for motivation and I'm off...

Happy Easter
Happy Easter everyone. We went to GG's for Easter and I played with my cousins Emily and Nadallie. I got to wear a really pretty dress and I smiled and showed off for everyone. After Easter we stopped by Aunt Stacie's because Aunt Rhonda is visiting this week. This was the first time I got to meet her, she's really nice.
Here's a few pictures of my Easter photo shoot with mommy and Easter day with my cousins.

(Sorry about the Do Not Copy thing across some of the pics. Mommy shares those with her photography board and she was too lazy to make another version)
