Bodie, 9 months old

Happy 9 months bodes!

your current favorite- crawling over to the stairs and pulling up. you love to see your sis at the top of the stairs, you laugh and get so excited.

Bodie lane...at 9 months old you are a crawling, pulling up, exploring, playing, smiling, laughing (and not sleeping!) machine. =)

9 month stats

size: you are still big. =) wearing 18mnths -2T clothes

eating: love trying new foods, like noodles, sweet potatoes, cherrios, grilled cheese, yogurt, and all time favorite-mom's smoothies! you finger feed yourself and love drinking through a straw

play: you love being with people. you love music and will dance! you play peek a boo and your "trick"- you raise your arms up to "how big is bo bo?" you like cars, blocks, the cats, rattles and balls, bath time, the christmas tree and lights, computer cord... you are all over the place! you love our play time after your bath where we crawl around and do baby slams on the bed.

we went to pick out our tree and it was very cold, but you were all smiles.

language: you definitely say mama- (yeah!) and I think use "m" for more when eating. you are still babbling and i'm excited to hear your little voice and first words! you respond to your name and "no no". also you show off your "so big" trick we we ask you to. =)

sleep: ugh! 30 min cat naps and up at night still...i'm holding out for the 10 month mark...fingers crossed you follow in your sisters footsteps and turn a corner soon!

still a happy little guy!

and of course sometimes not so happy...

you love to pull up on the tv stand and then take out all the dvds. with pulling up to stand being new for you, this captures your frequent "help, i'm stuck, how do i get down!" cry

oh also to note: you definitely picked up your dads humming . Anytime you see a tag you break out in a hum almost right away, lol. i hear you and sure enough i turn to where you are and they you are with a tag!

Love ya bodes, thanks for all the smiles and snuggles!

your first road trip to Ohio for thanksgiving this month, you did well and loved meeting your extended family and being around new people and playing and crawling all around the big houses in Ohio!
