Our baby boy is 9 months old and is into everything!!! He is on the move. The easy days of him just sitting up are over. In fact he has mastered crawling and can literally "book it" across the room now. You can't take your eye off him for a minute. I often hear myself say, "Olivia, wear is your baby brother?" all the time...
He has already (unfortuntly) fallen down the basement steps. Luckily there was a landing there so it was only 6 steps. But it was painful. Justin and I have yet to decide who's fault that one was.... ;0
He has been pulling himself up for weeks and NOW he is interested in walking. We noticed he has been cruising around our coffee table and has recently been able to transfer from the couch to the coffee table on his own without losing his footing. We brought up Jack's old walker and he can walk around the house pushing it. Although it moves a little too fast for his comfort level on the hardwood floor. I have a feeling walking will happen soon. The other two walked at 10 and 11 months so we shall see if he follows suit.
We've been working on "SOOO BIG!" with this little one and it's adorable when he lifts his arms up in the air. He has 8 teeth which makes feeding him a lot easier. He is interested in everything we eat. Last night he had hamburger, french fries and loved every bite. We are trying to get him interested in drinking juice from a cup but that seems to be difficult still for him.
We made it to his doctors appointment yesterday and he is 30.5" long which places him off the chart in height and he weighs almost 23 lbs which is the 85% tile. He is wearing Jack's old 18 mths - 2T clothes already. It's fun remisicing Jack's babyhood when Grant wears his old clothes. These Christmas PJ's were his big brothers and it just takes me back. It's also another reminder how fast they do grow up. Seems like Jack was JUST wearing these himself.
His favorite room in the house is our kitchen. He gets into everything - the pantry, lazy susan, cabinets, ect. He's very curious.
We are rounding a year with this baby and that makes me sad. Real sad, actually. I want to pause time with him. Our baby Grant - my favorite baby ever....ssshhh!
