you turned 9 months old this month. youre 9.5 months now. mamas last again. sorry pooky.
we've done quite a few new and fun things with you this month.
you took your first sink bath this month. you loved it. you managed to flood my kitchen, but you certainly had a blast doing it.
you also went to your first district convention this month. you were awesome, as always. you met new friends and played with old ones. we had a picnic lunch outside in the beautiful sunshine, which is your favorite place to be. you went to the fri sessions in kitchener and sat and sun in sudbury.
with daddy in sudbury on the sun lunch break
with mama on the sat before the sessions started
you got to see a lot of friends the weekend we went away to sudbury, your birthplace. heres just a few of the friends you love so much.
you with aunty rachel
heres you with aunty rachel when you were just 3 days old
a very recent one with uncle zac
and again with uncle zac, but you were only 3 days old
with aunty nessa when she came to visit us this month
with aunty nessa when you were just a tiny 3 day old baby
with your uncle brandon (my brother)
with uncle brandon when you werent even 24 hrs old
and aunty ashley

with aunty amanda
but aunty amanda was too nervous to hold you when you were just a wittle wee baby so i dont have a picture to compare. sorry my boy!
we cant forget uncle a.j. this was in may.
& when proud uncle a.j met you at 4 days old
these are just a few faces of all the friends and family you have who love you to no end. youre one popular little boy.
this month you told us you no longer wanted to be swaddled. this comes as a blessing, because i was getting very tired of re wrapping you up all thru the night.
you're also recently learning to sleep on your own, in your own bed, in your own room. this makes mummy and daddy very happy. we love having you in our room, but you kick, pinch, pull hair and slap in your sleep. not so fun my son. not so fun at all. but youre doing great with it, and we are very proud of you.
you also have 6 teeth now. i cant believe it. 3 on the top and 3 on the bottom. it will be 8 teeth in a matter of days im sure.
you love to stand up on your own and use our hands to pull yourself up. you pulled yourself up with a toy bin once, all on your own. you scared yourself though, so you havent tried it again.
youre 9.5 months, but youre feet are still as small as they when you were only a month or two old. you still wear your shoes you had for newborn and 0-3 months. youre feet got wider but not really much bigger. its cute.
youre eating 3-4 jars of food a day plus all the snacks you can get a hold of. cheerios, puffs, cheese, yogurt, bread and whatever else i feel you may like. you love soup too which is great because soup is mamas favorite too. i let you have pancake and you loved it. screamed in joy over it.
your favorite songs are old macdonald and an italian song your great grandfather loved. you could be screaming and throwing a tantrum and as soon as we play that song, you immediately stop and just listen. you love it and we play it all the time for you, over and over and over ... its called "Eh Cumpari!" its from the 1950's. its about all kinds of different instruments and what sounds they each make. mummy and daddy heard it one night we were on a date night and we knew you would love it. sure enough it quickly became your favorite song.
you are our music baby. you love anything musical. you love to sing. clap. kick you legs to the music and throw your hands around.
youre learning to wave and clap your hands. you mastered typing on uncle brandons old baby computer that you use now. you do the two fingered typing, hehe.
you love to reach out to everyone now. if someone puts their hands out to you, you almost always put yours out too.
you have your own baby grunting language thats really cute. you grunt at me when youre telling me "more" or "look" at this mama or "watch" me mum!
we are all so happy to have you here baby boy. youre a blessing and a complete joy. youre getting so big and learning things every single day.
i love you so much. i cant wait for even more memories to make with you. i say it all the time, life before you just doesnt exhist. its like youve always been here with us.
keep smiling baby boy. because you bring the greatest feelings to everyone around you.
