Sammy and Alex - 9 Months

Oh, Little Man. You continue to capture our hearts!

We have loved these last nine months with you.

You are a ray of sunshine.

And so stinkin' sweet.

You are curious about everything. Everything!

Here's what you've been up to the last month... Crawling and climbing on anything you can.

You love riding your new toy that your Aunt Sylba gave you. We push you all around the house, and you just smile.

You also love riding in the laundry basket. You giggle each time we go up and down the stairs.

You had your first swing ride at the park this month.

You've been trying new table foods - with only moderate success I might add. This photo is of you getting your first taste of gumbo. It was one of the few new foods you've liked.

You will also tolerate scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, Chick-fil-A chicken nuggets, Gerber Lil' Crunchies, Gerber Puffs, mandarin oranges, Taco Soup broth, and Chicken Noodle Soup broth. There have been lots of other things we've tried to give you, but you seem to have "texture issues." Hopefully those will subside with time.

You've also said your first words: da-da, ma-ma, and ba-ba. Da-da was the first.



Here are your latest stats:
Weight: 19 lbs 6 oz (31 percentile)
Height: 28.5 inches (60 percentile)
Head circumference: 18 inches (63 percentile)
Teeth: seven!

It won't be long before we're celebrating your first birthday. It all goes too fast. We love you Little Man.
