Happy Nine-Month Day!

Nine months on the inside and now nine months on the outside - I think its safe to say that Mama and I both prefer the outside!

Happy Friday the 13th Everyone! Well, lets see at nine months I am "talking" all the time (I have even incorporated hand gestures into my communication), I am eating stage two foods now (which are thicker and chunkier) along with some finger foods each day (mainly Cheerios and fruit). I had meat for the first time this week (turkey with some sweet potatoes) and liked it so I am no longer a vegetarian. I'm trying to get the hang of feeding myself - I can pick up the food but then I like to play with it instead of eating it some eventually does go in but more of it goes elsewhere. My parents think this is ironic because I put everything into my mouth (except the finger food)? To which I will say, "I am a complicated man people, a mystery wrapped in an enigma really." Anyway, probably the biggest change is that I love it when people hold me and then we go explore so when I'm put down by myself I get a little fussy... cue separation anxiety! My daily routine is still staying pretty much the same except we have cut back on my milk intake because I'm eating more real food now. Still two naps a day (morning and afternoon) and a full nights sleep. So basically I'm loving life, my family, books, toys, new experiences, etc. I am a happy (though complicated) little man. J
