9 months

Here are a few updates on our favorite little person.

He loves to be outside.

He thinks other children are pretty fun, especially his friend Noah.

Daddy is his favorite.

He loves a good snuggle. (This was at my cousin Annie's soccer game. There she is, off to the right.)

He's not crawling yet. He has 2 teeth on the bottom. He recently mastered picking up food and is pleased that he can feed himself. He likes all foods, especially sweet potatoes and squash. Thankfully we're done fighting over who gets to hold the spoon, but now he thinks he's too cool to wear a bib.

Some of his hobbies are splashing in the bath and watching squirrels and cars in the neighborhood.

He had a checkup today and the nurse put a princess bandaid on his finger and told me not to let him put it in his mouth. I tried to obey, but in the end I gave up (you would too if you'd been there for 2 hours already and had run out of tricks), and he swallowed the bandaid. That was fun. I guess he just didn't want to be seen with a princess bandaid on!

Happy 9 months, Bucko!
