9 Months!

Our baby boy is 9 months old! Just three months shy of 1 year old. We can't believe it!

Stats:
Height: 30 in. (approximately....it's hard to get a 9 month old to stay still long enough, lol!)
Weight: 22 lbs.

At 9 Months:

• Reed is very close to walking. He is confident when taking a step with his left foot but not so comfortable with his right foot yet. He actually took 5 steps all by himself yesterday. He is such a big boy!!
  
  
• He should, at this point, be eating table foods, but he gags if we give him anything solid other than his beloved Gerber crunchies. We will keep trying!
  
  
• When only Chris or I go in to get Reed out of bed in the morning, he usually immediately turns to the door and looks for the other one of us. It's so sweet!


• Reed loves his book Danny Duck takes a Dive. Thanks Derek, Amanda and Mekenzie for the book. He just recently discovered Danny's feathers and he basically makes a mad dash for it if he sees it. If I need him to stay still for a few minutes, this is a guaranteed entertainment option.


• He has begun splashing like crazy while in his duck bathtub. He gets the bathroom soaked. I think he is really going to love the water, which is so great.


• Reed can climb the steps all by himself. It shocked me the other day at how easy he did it. He climbs them just like he crawls, one foot and one knee at a time, lol!


• He has become very talkative the past couple of days. He is definitely saying "da-da" and "ma-ma". He is also saying a lot of other consonant sounds. We can't wait until he starts talking. There is no telling what will come out of his mouth. LOL!!

"What do you mean I shouldn't stand on Tabdit?"

With his Elephant friend.

Not sure what he is thinking here. Too cute!

"I'll let him go, don't make me do it."
