Pearce, you are 9 months old today!
Here are some things I want to remember about your 8th month:
Each month just gets better and better! You are the sweetest little thing and your Daddy and I just feel so lucky to have you! It is so funny to see how you react when Daddy comes home from work. He will kind of sneak up on you and as soon as you see him, your legs start kicking and you start smiling and laughing! He has fun videos on his phone, so he will let you sit in his lap and watch the videos. You love them!
You are constantly on the move! This was the first time it was actually hard to get your picture. You kept trying to get the table next to your chair or you wanted to crawl OFF the chair, so I gave you your toothbrush and that seemed to satisfy you for a while. The days of sitting nicely for your monthly pictures are OVER....but that's o.k. sweet baby....Mommy will just try harder :)
*You began crawling right before you turned 8 months old...and man you got good at it real fast!
*You started wearing size 12 month clothes around 8 1/2 months...that's crazy to me! You can still wear some 9-12 month clothes, but for the most part it's all 12 month size.
*Size 3 diapers still
*Size 2 shoes...when I can put shoes on you...you like to take them off!
*20 pounds.
*You eat 2-3 meals a day and still take 7 ounces of formula. You love to eat!
*You take 2 2hr naps a day...sometimes you will sleep for 3 hours!
*You go to bed around 8:30 and wake up around 8:00 in the morning!
*You got your two bottom teeth.
*Spitting up is not as bad now.
*You learned how to clap from going to the library for story time...you clap all the time now!
*Papa taught you how to throw a ball last week!
Pearce, you are such a happy, sweet, easy baby!! You smile all the time and it just makes me so happy and proud when people comment about that. Although you are happy most of the time, there are times when you can throw a fit! Especially when you are trying to get something and we move you from it or take it from you. You always want to crawl into the kitchen to get Daisy's food and water bowls. Last week I let you succeed and boy did you have fun playing in her water bowl! It was so cute and funny at the time, but not so cute and funny when I had to clean it all up :)
I've already started thinking about your 1st birthday. Mommy is a planner, you know. I really can't believe how fast time is going by, but it doesn't make me sad. I love each new milestone you reach. I look forward to what you will do next. I really feel like I am enjoying you to the fullest and I am just so happy you are my baby boy! Pearce, aren't you happy I'm your mommy???? Ok, ok...bottle time.
