We've got a crawler on our hands!

I'm amazed that our little guy is 9 months old. It scares us how quickly time seems to be passing us by. We don't want to blink or we might miss something! Tomorrow marks his "official" 9th month with us. We'll celebrate this momentous occasion on Thursday by going to the doctor for his 9 months check up. He hasn't been in 3 months, so it'll be interesting to see how much he's grown.

He's crawling like a true soldier and pulling himself up. He is learning how to play with cars and use Grant's toy hammer (plastic of course) the right way. He mimics things we do and still has the most wonderful personality. Today I found myself wishing I could leave work early just so I could go pick him up and see his sweet smile and give him a kiss. He hates kisses. hehehe ...

He has two more teeth popping through, that makes 4 that are pretty much in and two more on their way. He's been putting his teeth to good use too. He loves cereal puffs and has been trying out different "grown up" foods like green beans (he loves papa's green beans!) bananas and potatoes. He's not a big potato fan.

He crawls all over the place. We have many step ups in our house (since it is old and that was the only way to make it semi level) and he's mastered going up and down the step ups. He has taken to following Jack, our yellow kitty, around and has trapped the poor cat in the pantry several times. Jack doesn't realize he can jump over the kid. The cats don't mind him much either. At least not until he tries to pet them. Then they take off. Baron and Sam like him ... or at least his feet. :)

Here are a few pictures I took over the weekend. Hope you enjoy them. Look for the teeth.
