LJW-9Months

Hey sweetie-boy,
Oh, how you are growing up.
This month FLEW by! You had your first plane ride to your grandma and grandpa's in TX. THe flight there was uneventful, the flight back?! Well, I think it would have gone fine except there was a snow storm here in MN so our flight was delayed an hour...pfffft, an hour, you say. Except that flight was planned to go over your nap time, SO, you basically skipped nap (I think you may have had a 15-20 minute snooze) and then it was time to board. You FINALLY fell asleep while we were taxing into the gate. And you sister screamed her head off because she too, was OVER. IT.

You'll learn pretty early on, I think, that we do not mess with sister's routine/schedule. She is what you call strong willed. Stubborn. I've heard bullheaded a lot too...(She's just like your momma). And there are certain things that we just don't mess with. I'll have you know, she's getting better. But food and sleep-don't keep her waiting on those or the wrath will follow.

But let's get back to you! You crawl/worm around still. You pull yourself up and just started cruising around the furniture. You have two real teeth! Here they are:
I laughed when I saw you were getting the two uppers, before the lowers. I mean of course it happens, but since your sister got the lowers first, I assumed you would too. There is a family from Cameroon at our church and she said that in her country, it is believed that kids who get their upper two teeth first are very intelligent. Let's hope so!!

You've been saying "mama" for a little while. And yes, it is safe to say you are a momma's boy. But early Saturday morning this past weekend, you busted out a "dada." I was still in bed and you were with Daddy in the living room, and oh, my heart smiled.

Last month you moved up in the rooms at school to the older, mobile baby room. I think that is where you got the idea that you can stand and walk. I have spent the last 2 weeks trying to get you to learn how to fall from a standing position (i.e sit down as fast as you can) and you are really getting it. It has definitely led to a diminished amount of head banging on floor and ultimately crying.
You love table food. And basically want to skip the baby mush. I don't blame you but you do need to have more than 2 teeth. And my, oh my, what a sweet tooth you already have! Only fruits! You love dairy, but we are still not out of the woods yet in terms of your dairy sensitivity so we are moving very slow in that catergory.

By the way, you are such a wiggly little worm!! This is how the majority of my photos turned out this month! Active you are, my boy. Just like your sister! Hopefully when you are walking you will be headed the same way as your sister, otherwise I don't know what I'm gonna do!

You are so fun to watch little boy as you grow so big. Hard to believe in three more months you will be 1!! What kind of a party shall we have? I can hardly wait!! (Well, yes I can and don't mind waiting...) :)

Love you,
Your Momma.
