(Nov 27-Dec 26)
Another
month of milestones and fun! You are both expert crawlers and are
turning into little boys and less baby. Are you really just 9 months
old?! I'm predicting you'll be walking before a year! You celebrated
your first Thanksgiving and Christmas and attended a few parties like watching the Old Fashioned Christmas Parade in West Chester at a friend's apartment and Uncle Dan and
Aunt Haley's engagement party. Mommy and Daddy also had a babysitter and
went out together for the first time to your Uncle Nick's 21st
birthday party. You were well behaved and slept and we had a really fun
time!

You pucker your lips (your cousin Josie would do this duck face when she was your age).
You also cross your hands and make a chubby face by
pulling your shoulders up and pulling your chin back when you don't
want any more food.
On December 1 you cut your first tooth (bottom
left). Later that month you cut your second bottom tooth. You rip
your bibs off now. You make feeding time messy by blowing
raspberries after I give you a spoonful of food!
Unfortunately
we dealt with a lot of illness this month. You had a fever and
double ear infection on Dec 12. You also had a cold. You are a
trooper though and still slept really well most nights despite the
discomfort.
I
love how you smile with your eyes. You weigh about 18 lbs.

My little guy. Everyone comments on your fluffy hair that sticks up. You have such a sweet face! You started out with a “hobble” crawl but it only took a couple weeks to master actual crawling. You used to be more content staying in one spot but now you enjoy exploring. You “talk” a lot and make “dadada” “mamama” “bababa” sounds. You laugh easily when tickled or when I make faces at you. You like to puff out your cheeks and blow air. You started sitting on your knees, crawling, pulling up on everything, and clearing the coffee table of whatever is on it. You go up and down the step into the kitchen also (after watching Kyle) but you usually fall/roll down.

Unfortunately you also dealt with some illness this month. You had a cold/fever and didn't sleep well in your crib so you sleep in our bedroom a few nights in the rock and play. You weigh about 16 lbs.
