@ 9 Months

@ 9 Months, he:

• is a crawling machine
• pulls himself to standing on almost anything
• puts every "thing" in his mouth
• says "ma ma" and "ba ba"
• stands alone for about 5 seconds
• make "ooh ooh ooh ooh" indian noise (if you pat his mouth)
• is very curious and investigates non-stop
• first tooth is barely visible (but has broken through!) hence, the jaw grinding instead of smiles
• learning to wave
• had first "spaghetti & beef" (Gerber) last night!
• will walk almost any day
• will no longer sit still and pose for pictures
• somehow knows he is wearing a sticker.  Rips it right off.

And is loved beyond words.
