9 months old!

Ethan you are 9 months old today! What a big boy you are getting to be!
You are one smiley, sweet, happy little guy!

You had your first dip in a swimming pool last week...

and you really weren't too amused by it!
You enjoyed the baby swing much more :)

You love to sit on your blanket and play with all your toys!
You really love it when big brother plays with you!
You can clap your hands when we play pat-a-cake and get
so excited!
You sleep really well, anywhere from 4-6 hour stretches, in
your own bed. You still get 1-2 bottles during the night.

You are a GREAT eater and eating all kinds of foods now, including finger
foods and mashed table food. Your favorite things to eat are any type of
fruit with oatmeal, graham crackers, black beans, cheese, chicken,
cheerios, baby mac and cheese, peas and green beans. But you will
pretty much eat anything and have gotten more tastes of table food
than your big brother ever did at your age ;)
You are growing well! You have a 9 month well-baby check-up in a couple weeks.
You have made it through cold and flu season without getting sick! You had a runny nose
for about one week and that was it! I was really sure that having an older brother in preschool would set you up for lots of germs, but you have been one healthy boy. I credit breastmilk and OCD-style handwashing around here all winter long!
You aren't officially crawling yet, but don't worry, you get around! You flip, twist, roll, scoot, and drag yourself all over the floor!
You babble and shriek excitably alot. You say Da-Da when you are happy and Ma-Ma when you are tired or fussy. You love your daddy very much, but are definetely momma's boy. If I walk past you and don't pick you up it breaks your heart. Your very favorite place to be is on my right hip! You love your momma!
You give sweet slobbery baby kisses!
You LOVE LOVE LOVE your big brother. If he is around, your eyes are glued to him and you laugh out loud multiple times a day just watching him or listening to him. So sweet!!
Happy 9 month birthday Ethan Jeffrey! We're on the 3 month countdown to your big day!!
