9 Months

Oh.My.Goodness.  9 months old today!!  Cue the birthday countdown.  He's been out almost as long as he was in my belly :)  We had a fun shoot today, but the little stinker will NOT sit still for pictures anymore unless he has something in his hands to entertain him.  Although, I was able to snap a few cute ones of him and Pacer as they both tried to gaze out the window.

We had little man's 9 month check-up on Thursday and he's doing great!  He weighed in at 19lbs 6.8 oz (47th percentile) and stands only 26.5 inches (2nd percentile).  He is currently babbling up a storm and loves to say Dada all day long.  He is still fascinated by the animals and has now figured out how to chase them around the house when he's in his walker (something that Styrker and Pop Tart HATE)!  He has officially started moving back and forth between furniture pieces and even tries to stand on his own.  I'm getting a little nervous for the day he starts walking (I hear that's when all the fun trouble starts).  He LOVES food and eats everything that is put in front of his chubby little cheeks.  He really dislikes when his Mama or Daddy try to feed him because he thinks he should be able to do it himself!

We also got a new shipment of diapers this week, which has been by far our favorite yet!  This month's patterns included chipmunks, tree stumps & deer, and a fun orange pattern.  If that doesn't get you in the fall mood, I'm not sure what will.  I'm so excited to see what type of winter patterns they will come out with :)

We had a low key Halloween here.  It was absolutely gorgeous here, so we took advantage of the weather by running some errands and trying to get some Christmas shopping done (yes, Christmas shopping).  Brittany and Miss Kinley came over so we could have a little Halloween photo shoot with the kiddos.  We then went to our friends house and hung out Halloween night so the little guy could see the trick-or-treaters.
