For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6

What a busy month it's been… so much has been going on with you! The biggest things to note are than you're crawling all over the place, speedy boy. You're pulling up on all the furniture and have taken a few big tumbles. Your favorite place to crawl to is wherever Miles is. You like to go lay on him, pull his tail, try to steal his bones and his ball and pull his ears and hair. He's so patient with you and just seems confused about why you're in his space. He loves you very much… especially when you're eating and you let him clean your hands, face, chair and lap during and after your meals.


Here are your 9 month stats:
Weight: 21 lbs 15 oz (75%)
Height: 30 1/4" (95%)
Head: 18" (75%)


Things you like this month:
FRUIT! all berries and bananas, all frozen fruits we've tried
Playing with Miles
Playing with any other older child
Being outside and going on walks
Being tickled
Still enjoy getting in your jumper every once in a while
Opening every cabinet and drawer you can find
Looking at yourself in the mirror


Things you don't like:
Getting a diaper or clothes change
Getting your nails trimmed
You don't like it when strangers try to hold you anymore

Laying on Miles bed in the morning

Digging deep in the toy basket

Crawling away from the Christmas tree since it's kind of prickly

You had a very exciting Christmas! Your family was so excited to bless you with millions of toys to keep you busy for years. I don't even think you've been able to play with all of them. Some of your favorites have been your drum from DD, your Toy Story car from Grandy and Papa, and your pounding/hammer toy that your dad and I gave you for Christmas.

We had Christmas at your Aunt Kobie's house the weekend before Christmas. You loved getting to see all your cousins and open lots and lots of presents. Santa came to your house this year, and brought you so many fun toys for your first Christmas. You got a red push car that you love and a few musical toys that you love banging on.


We love you soooo much!!
