9 Months

Holy Moly!

I feel like I'm becoming repetitive when I say that Toa is growing too fast. It's so true and I now see how people get baby hungry. I wish he would stay little forever, but I love watching him grow up.

It floors me that he's 9 months old today.. Motherhood really is a miracle, one that I absolutely love with all my heart.

Toa is now:
26lbs and SOLID! He is not chubby at all. He's so tall and is still off the charts for height therefore he's considered lean.

Crawling. Yay! He's beeing doing his silly one-legged army crawl until just a few days ago.

Can pull himself up on furniture to a standing position and climbs everything

Trying to stand up with no support, he's starting to perfect the yoga "dog pose"

Still only has his 6 teeth

Eating almost everything. When he doesn't like something, you'll know because you'll be wearing it all over your face when he spits it out at you.

Gives the best 'high fives'.

Flirts with all the girls. He'll bat his eyelashes and show them his dimples and then hide his head into my shoulder. I'm trying to teach him how to wink.

Is the best little kisser. He loves to UMA everyone! UH-OH

Wearing size 5 diapers and 24 months clothing. Some 2T things fit him, but are still a little bit baggy.

Loves his books and storytime

Loves Mommy's Blackberry. He has updated my Facebook status with gibberish and sent a few blank text messages to people and always calls people randomly on my phone. He's even somehow set my alarm for 4am once.

Doing so well with his sign language and he understands so much when you tell him to do things

Isn't the most patient little guy. He gets frustrated easily, he wants to feed himself already and is now trying to tear his diaper off. DOUBLE UH-OH

When he wants something i.e., toy, food, person, he'll kick his leg in that direction and make a grunting noise

When you tell him he has stinky feet, he'll try to put his foot in your nose

Loves to go jogging with Mommy in his jogging stroller

Loves dancing to music

His favorite song is the "Lollipop" song. When that Dell commercial comes on, no matter what he's doing, he'll look at the TV and start dancing to the song.

He's doing so many funny things and has quite the little personality. He definitely has us wrapped around his chubby little finger! He still sleeps with us, and has to be touching either me or Ray to go to sleep. He loves going eva and is such a good boy and just his happy little self all the time. He's constantly smiling and laughing and just making our life perfect! Couldn't be more blessed with such a beautiful little baby. Love you son!
