Not only is my little boy 9 months old but we're a week late. We've entered the last single-digit month ever.
My little boy is getting SO BIG. He has learned so much in the last few weeks, I can barely remember him not crawling and getting into everything! Along with these new-found tricks though he has accidents pretty much every day. Today - he pulled the folded up highchair onto himself. He pulled a chair on himself last week. And he had a tendency to pull himself up onto things (sofas, coffee tables, chairs, etc.) and then just lets go. He obviously falls, though he has finally learned how to control his fall so it doesn't hurt! It's incredible watched him learn and work out how to do things. He loves watching the washing machine and helping me water my new vegetable patch!
He is so entertained by things lately; it's so much fun to play with him! He loves knocking blocks over and playing with his little basketball. He has an obsession with the vaccuum cleaner.
He's also recently got his new "big boy carseat"! It's forward facing which I love because I can now look to the back seat and he smiles at me. Speaking of which, he is SO smiley. He ADORES other children - though sometimes stares and smiles too much! haha. He also loves balloons. We went to Pizza Hut last night and he was way over-tired, but they had balloons so we were able to entertain him. He can now drink from his sippy cup (though he is lazy and wants me to hold it), and he's now chewing and able to eat pretty much anything.
I don't think it will be much longer before he's walking - he is very, very determined to. He's such a sneaky little baby, getting into things that he shouldn't (and you know because he starts LAUGHING when he's doing something he shouldnt't be.)
I love this little man. Nights are still hard but days make it worth it.
