9 Months


How has that much time passed already!?! I know I seem to write that at every monthly milestone, but it's true. I feel like my baby is gone and he's quickly becoming a big boy. He's still not crawling, but I think that's because he's figured out how to get what he needs without crawling. He will roll or scoot (he hops on his knees and then falls forward) until he can reach what he wants. And the most recent development is now he can pull himself up. And does he ever, on everything. He's not walking the furniture yet, but he sure can get around. He now says "mama" and "bo" and "ya". Okay, they're probably all just a bunch of sounds but it's fun to pretend he's talking back to me--remember I'm home all day, just him and me. He's a funny baby and laughs deep belly laughs and smiles all the time. He's absolutely adorable and I could stare at him forever (not bias at all). I'm going to start introducing more "human food". He's not one for textures or chunks, likes his baby food because it's smooth and easy to go down. And now I fear I've created this lazy baby. I was reading in the baby book that this may cause problems later. So today while grocery shopping I bought fruits and crackers and other things that I can chop up or that he can chew up to give him to eat. It's harder because I still can't give him dairy or bananas, but when we go to his check up next week we will talk to the doctor about all that. One year old is right around the corner, but not yet! So I will enjoy my baby Nate as long as I can and soak in all these precious moments while I have them.
