9 months and then some

That toothy grin we all love

refusing to sit...

  • Crawling...faster
  • Standing for moments
  • A top tooth breaking through (and another coming shortly)
  • Finally using a spoon (most of the time)
  • Deciding he no longer sits in his high chair....feeding may never be easy with this kid
  • Loving: yogurt, fruits, some chicken/turkey pureed, toast, settling at times for veggies...but still super picky and prone to break downs and refusing food if he doesn't like what he gets (per doctors order we need to encourage the consumption of calories...as much as possible)
  • Using his thumb and index finger to pick up little veggie puffs
  • Lots of babble... we are trying to not talk back in babble...even though it is so darn cute...i suppose we are suppose to encourage him to talk like the rest of us
  • Clicking noises are a new favorite thing
  • Shaking his head no, even though not yet associated with "no"
  • Following sister as much as she lets possible
  • Throwing toys...and miraculously hitting mama with them...
  • Mimicing a goofy laugh that sister does....I will try to get a video...when Isabelle laughs she tosses her head back and Owen follows suit....tossing his head back with the biggest grin possible and doing a silent weird nose laugh (quick breaths in and out of his nose)
  • Loves peek-a-boo with play silks
  • Starting to open and close his hands (working on this to sign for milk and a moc wave)
  • Sleeping well at night for the most part...still waking up once in a while but is able to get himself back to sleep within 15-20 minutes
  • Napping 2 times a day
  • Still melting our hearts with that huge, now toothy, grin
