Buddy boy at 9 (er..10) months

I was waiting to post until I took some 9 mo. pics, but seeing as how he's almost 10 months and it still hasn't happened yet, I figured I'd at least get something up here.


This is my favorite way to have my little babe- wearing only a simple white onsie. I don't know what it is...maybe it's that a onsie just seems "baby" to me. Or maybe it's that I love having full access to his squishy arms and thighs. Now that's its warm, I'm more and more tempted to leave him this way when we're just hanging out at home. I couldn't resist snapping a few pics this morning...plus I needed some to go along with this post :)

At 9 months our little buddy boy is:

• 20 1/2 lbs. (50%) and 30 1/2 inches tall (97%)
• Continues to love, I mean LOVE, food. He'll still pretty much eat anything, and insists we feed him if he sees food anywhere. His favorites are eggs, string cheese, sweet potatoes, blueberries, kiwi and black beans. He eats a TON too. Like a bowl full of pureed fruit, an egg, and a pancake is a normal breakfast for the chunker.
• Is crawling around everywhere......oh wait, scratch that. He doesn't move! Seriously, this boy is lazy (or chill, as the Dr. put it) and just recently started rolling consistently.
• He stands really well holding onto things and loves to walk if we hold his hands.
• Still sleeps like a champ and sometimes even takes three naps still.
• Definitely expressing his opinion more! It's fun because he gets really excited about things, but then on the flip side, he gets mad when he doesn't get what he wants. It's quite amusing.
• Is understanding things we say. I love asking him if he wants his "ba-ba", wants to go "na nights", wants to "see daddy" or wants to "eat" because he gets a huge smile on his face and grunts/laughs to say yes!
• Loves to talk to people on the phone, especially his "mimi" or his "grammy."
• Has 2 teeth on bottom, and 3 (almost 4) teeth on top. We're so glad those two front teeth are through, they were a beast!
• Has started not wanting me to sing to him when I put him down at night :( He just wants to be laid down. It's kind of sad for me because that is the only time I get any snuggle time with him.
• Has turned into a CRAZY sleeper. He moves all over in his crib and I love to see what position he has gotten himself into when I get him in the morning.
• Loves to read books! He thinks every book is a "touch and feel" book and always rubs his hand all over the page as soon as I turn it.
  

This dude is such a fun, happy baby and we can't get enough of his cute face!

{I LOVE this picture. Yes, I know its out of focus, but I think he looks so cute/goofy! Especially with his two front teeth.}
