Cruising, A New Hat, My First Car, My First Shoes and Ms. Penni

Check out my first car! Now, when do I get upgraded to one with more power!

This is fun!
Mobility has been great! I am cruising around everything now!

Mommy and I went to Striderite this weekend and I got my first pair of real shoes! I am a size 4 Wide....yes my feet are wide....just like my thighs, ha ha! Check them both out!

I got a new hat from grandma.....I like to try and take it off a lot!

This is Ms Penni! We have a great time together.....way better than my days in daycare!

9 Month Pictures

These are my 9 month pictures....well I was 8.5 months but whose counting! I scratched my nose right before we went so don't look at the scab on my nose please. Mommy can get copies of these in any size so let her know if you want any in particular.

9 Months Old on Valentine's Day and New Food Experiences

I am 9 months old today! Can you believe it! I had my 9 month old doctor's appointment this week....here are my stats.....I weigh 21.5 pounds (70th percentile) and I am 28.5 inches long (75 percentile). Still a big boy! There were no shots at this appointment, yeh! I did get my toe pricked to check my iron levels and I passed! The doctor checked my ears and I have a double ear infection. We were shocked since I seem so happy and sleep so well. I am getting over my last daycare cold so I guess it went to my ears. I am on anti-biotics for 10 days and then I intend on being healthy for a long time since I will be at home everyday with Ms. Penni. Mommy is going to get a picture of Ms Penni and I soon so you can all see her.

Other news.....I am crawling everywhere...very fast too! I am pulling up to standing whenever possible. I am starting to realize that I can move around while standing but I am still not confident enough to do it a lot yet. I love to read books. Mommy just bought me a lot of new books this week too.

This week I decided to start standing up when I wake up in the morning! This is how mommy found me! I enjoy chewing on the rail and trying to grab the mobile. So, the mobile is now gone and there is rubber on my crib rail now.

I enjoy playing with my blocks
Happy Valentine's Day, check out my shirt! This is my basketball goal and I like to dance to the music it makes when the ball goes in the goal.

They have started to give me weird foods.......table food! I like to gag a lot and spit it back out. What is this......eggs!

I guess I will have to start trying new things eventually. I can't eat baby food forever. I do love the gold fish and cheerios! Not so much on the eggs, bananas, or diced veggies yet!

New Nanny and New Experiences

Ms. Penni, mommy and I had a great first day! I really think I am going to like this new lady in my life. She is really nice and plays with me a lot. I am still getting over a cold but hopefully it will be gone soon. And then I should be healthy for a long time since I won't have any snotty little babies crawling all over me, ha!
Mommy and daddy also took me for my 9 month old pictures this past weekend. Well, I am almost 9 months old anyway. I decided that I would scratch my nose just before we went but the pictures still came out really great. I will post them in a couple of weeks when we get digital versions.
I got another tooth too! Oddly enough, it is the one on the bottom...to the left of my other two teeth. And it looks like there is another coming through next to that one. No signs of top teeth just yet but I sure am drooling a lot these days! I am pulling up to standing anywhere I possibly can. I can really crawl fast now too!
Here are some new pictures of me......enjoy!

Who said an exo-saucer is for sitting in.....I like to use it as a tunnel now!

I really love my bath every night...especially this turtle....I can get its entire head in my mouth

I am starting to enjoy books now!
