Isn't he a handsome!
Nine months brought us "mama." He's kind of said "hey" for a couple of months, but when he says "mama" we're pretty sure he has the association right. Especially when he's reaching for me and saying it at the same time.
He's such a good eater now. Nine months brought us to three meals a day. Sure, he still gets distracted sometimes (don't we all?) but most of the time he eats like a champ and even feeds himself puffs
and other finger-foods. He's also been drinking from a straw, a sippy cup, and a regular cup for a couple of months.
Nine months brought us clapping. He's been working on clapping for the past week, last night he really seemed to get it and he'll clap when he sees someone else clapping.
And this morning 9 months brought us crawling! It's still crawling when he uses his feet and not his knees, right? Yes.
Add to that the $40 I found playing the laundry lottery* and today's been a great day, even with being sick.
*No, I haven't been gambling. The laundry lottery is the name I've given to finding money in the laundry.
