Baby T is 9 months old.
How did that happen?
I still remember the 7 lbs baby we met in the hospital. T is now a whooping 23 lbs 7 oz and wearing 12-18 month clothing. A big boy!
So much has changed in our household during the past 9 months. Currently there is very little on our floor -- the kitty's food dish has been moved, the stereo speakers are behind the couch, the vacuum and norwex mop come out more often -- as our little one has started to crawl. He also pulls himself up onto furniture or a pair of legs that are often standing in the kitchen.
T has expressed his opinion over solid food -- "you want me to eat what?!" We're still slowly working on purees and the little turkey will only eat bought baby food! Some days he'll only take 3-4 bites, other times he'll eat 1/2 a jar which is considered successful.
We've experienced the terrors of teething. And have become familiar with baby Tylenol. T now has 2 little teeth which are so cute and sharp!
T is a very serious observant baby. When out in public he often won't crack a smile, he is watching, taking it all in. This makes me wonder what his personality will be like.
His first pool experience was fun...T is a fish! This child has no fear. He slipped while crawling all around the pool and dunked his whole head under water. He popped up before any of us could react and continued on as if nothing had happened! I forsee swimming lessons in the fall.
Sleep in our household continues to be at a premium. The nights are okay but naps have taken a turn for the worst. T will usually only sleep for 40 minutes at each nap. One sleep cycle. He has trouble falling asleep again once slightly aroused at the end of the cycle. Would love to figure this one out. He needs more sleep and I need more of a break!
T is a very cuddly baby. He loves to be held and snuggles with both D and I. We love his tight hugs.
Every once in awhile I listen for his babbling and cute baby sounds and am still amazed that he is here and he is ours. I am so proud and so blessed to be his mama. The past 9 months have been a crazy ride.
One that I never want to get off of.

What a blessing to have T in your life and for him to have such a wonderful family. Blessings on the next many months...so much fun is yet to come!

yeah the sleep thing is tough. baby J has never been the best sleeper, and teething makes it even harder... good luck.
Oh, I just want to eat him...is that OK?
