And through it all, the Little Mister has turned into quite the happy, funny Little Chap!
Following in his sister’s footsteps, he’s always on the move and always into EVERYTHING.
Maybe one day I’ll be able to transform his enthusiasm for household items into a willingness to actually do some chores for me. The Little Miss is already into sweeping up “yucky piles” with my broom. It makes this Clean Freak Mama oh so proud.
The Little Mister continues to think that the Little Miss is the coolest kid around…
…Up until the point that she knocks him over (onto his head), or shakes him too hard in the swing (note his look of trepidation below).
Sigh. It’s a work in progress.
But she loves him so much, and has a heart full of good intentions.
Our Little Mr. Cuddles gets so excited when Daddy comes home.
Their greetings begin with hugs…and then quickly become climbing sessions on Daddy’s head.
I keep telling Daddy that he needs to prepare himself for another Little Wrestler in the family (the Little Miss is already quite the Little Brawler). But that’s what Daddies are for!
But no matter what he’s doing, our Little Man is a HOOT.
Here’s a video that I took yesterday, trying to capture his new crawling skills.
Type in “wright” to watch.
He’s a ray of sunshine, and a blessing each and every day!
Happy 9 months to our darling Little Mister!!!
(Flashing his two bottom teeth. He has 4 more on the top now!)
9 Month Stats:
– Weight: 23 lb, 10 oz (94%)
– Height: 31 inches (>99%)
– Head circumference: 45 cm (50%)
He is the sweetest Little Guy with a smile that lights up the room. That smile also includes 4 teeth, and 4 more on the way! Our Little Mr. Social is chatting up a storm these days, with lots of “ba-bas” and “ya-yas.” But even better, he now calls out for “Ma-Ma!” and “Da-Da!” as well! Too bad for me, he’s usually upset when I’m paged. But I’ll take what I can get.
When he’s not cuddling, he’s MOVING! He continues to army-crawl like a champ, and loves climbing over any obstacle…particularly those that bar him from Mommy or Teddy.
Our Little Mr. Observant is so aware of the world around him now, and wants to get his hands (and mouth!) onto everything. And thanks to his new ability to pull up onto his knees and feet, he can get into a whole lot!
Determined to keep up his robust physique (22lb 3oz, and counting!), my Little Chunk has finally mastered solids. He’ll eat just about everything, so long as it’s served with a good helping of crumbled graham crackers.
