9 months

Happy 9 month Birthday

Well, another month has come and gone...and I can't believe we are 3 months away from your first birthday!!  Can you please stop growing!?! 

You are getting so big and learning so much.  This month you have started really army crawling...you get around pretty fast!!  We are working on you getting up on your hands and knees to crawl.  You get up and rock back and forth, but haven't gone forward yet.  You have also learned how to sit up...going from your belly to sitting up.  You have gotten so much better at sitting up...not more getting excited and falling over! You are eating food from the table...nothing too fancy yet.  Mostly pancakes, muffins, waffles, bread, mashed potatoes, canned veggies and fruits, grilled cheese, pasta  and some chicken nuggets.  I guess that is a lot more than I realized!!

Your personality continues to blossom...you are quite the ham.  You make lots of silly faces...we laugh and then you laugh...you know you are being funny.  You are "talking" more with your siblings...it is the sweetest thing.  You also can scream really LOUD!!  We are continuing to work on sleeping at night.  We work really hard to getting up once a night and you do it for a few days and then something disrupts the schedule and you go back to getting up twice a night.  We know you will eventually get it, but we are trying to move you to your bedroom with Josiah.  He is so excited to have you in there with him. 

Well, I guess that is it for now.  We are so thankful for you and love this adventure of parenting you.  We love you, Richard Tobias!

Those eyes get me every time
