Our little man is 9 months old---  This past month was sure a month of growth. It seemed like everyday he had learned something new.  It was so fun to see all the changes.  Man I love this kid.
-Officially started crawling. No more rolling or scooting--Full out crawling.  While we were in Utah he really got good.  I have had to do some major baby proofing because he gets into everything.
-He pulls himself up to standing against either the couch, ottoman, or coffee table.  He is very determined and will fall often but always pulls himself right back up.
-On our flights to and from Utah he was a crowd favorite... especially with those sitting behind us and the flight attendants.  He just gave him his smile and they were hooked.
-Has quite the scream... not an i'm hurt scream, just a 'I can make this cool noise' scream.
-Loves to babble. Dada is the most common word but does say mama and baba quite often.
-Still no teeth....  but his hair is now barely visible in pictures.  Who needs teeth and hair anyway? They just make for extra work.
-Instead if everything immediately going straight into his mouth he now places with the item more.... although plenty still goes in his mouth.
-Will sleep through the night 8:30 pm-7:30 am but the norm is to still wake up usually once. I'm okay with it because he is such a great napper.  He takes 2 naps a day--usually going right down.  Each nap is around 2 hours.  It is when I can get so much done.
-He is constantly moving while he sleeps. He is always in a different place in his crib.  He also loves to squeeze his head face down in the corners--- with his bum in the air.
-He still is a great eater.  Def. prefers food over milk. Stopped breastfeeding/pumping.. Now is only on formula.
-Has started to get some stranger anxiety. Before he would go to strangers with no problem but now he is starting to realize when he is not with Mom and Dad. Love that he knows who we are but not as excited that he won't go to babysitters as easily as before.
