9 Months

9 Months old sweet boy and I love you more each day. You are the cutest little thing in my life. We will be taking your nine month pictures next week because this week was filled with various doctor's appointments. You had your check up yesterday and did great. Hannah brought you toys so you would be brave. It is so sweet how much she loves you. Just one shot and you did fine. So far, they don't seem to bother you. You are 28 1/2 inches tall (50%) and 18 lb. 2 oz (25%). I knew you were light because you burn a million calories a day. I kid you not. You are always on the move. You love climbing and crawling. It's safe to say those are your two favorite things to do. You also love splashing your hands in toilets, eating shoes, emptying out cabinets, crawling after Bella or Hannah, and splashing in the bath. You climb the stairs any chance you get and do it with a huge smile on your face. You always sit and clap when you get to the top. I think you feel proud. We used to stop you, but now we just walk behind you. You can make it all the way to the top in about 5 seconds. You also love your Cookie Monster Kitchen and watching any Elmo or Cookie Monster video on youtube. You still like crinkling paper, hearing yourself talk, being outside and your paci. You also love opening and closing doors, which strangely is written in my baby book as something I liked. You will sit for a good 10-20 minutes and open/close just about any door (your play house, Bella's cage door, the TV stand door, the food cupboard door, doesn't really matter which door). Your new accomplishment is standing by yourself which you just started doing about two days ago. The doctor said to start phasing out pureed food so the past two days we have been giving you real food cut up. You are doing well, but boy does it make a huge mess. You are a great napper and sleeper. Mommy finally puts you down without your wrap, just blanket and all your friends and of course paci. We've been going to the pool about 4 times a week so that's something we've been up to. You still have two teeth fully through and one on it's way. Your dislikes are being alone and getting your face wiped. If you were a cartoon character you would be Curious George. Cute as can be with good intention, but always into something. Jack Bryant, you make me smile daily, I think you are the cutest thing ever, you are driven and sweet, curious and easy going. I love you monkey.
