9 Months Old

My little man is growing up so fast! This was an interesting picture moment. He wouldn't sit still and I think those restraints in the chair will be used next time! You will see what I mean when you see the pictures below! lol

As each month comes and goes I get sad and happy at the same time. Sad because his little body is growing and there isn't this little body that I cuddled months ago. Now that he's mobile, he is such a wiggle worm and doesn't want to really be restricted to my arms. Unless he wants to be held which is quite often. Loves, loves to be held, but not snuggled unless he wants too!

My happiness is for his adventurous self. Wanting to play with his brother, crawling and exploring everything and becoming his own little self. Even though it makes me happy, I am still sad. I want him to stay little forever!!! Just something I'll never have control of:(

He has changed so much in the past few months! I know his hair has a lot to do with it and I should have cut it sooner. I know Jeff would agree on this with me! So our little photo session started out good other then him scooting out of the chair, this is by far my favorite!

What Mr. T has been up to this month:

*Officially sleeps all night.

*Is eating pretty good these day, loves to eat what we have and would prefer our food over his mush! We let him try some things, but limit him.

*Still nurses great and sometimes prefers the milk over food.

*This month we tried STRAWBERRIES! He not only liked them, but did fine! This was a big deal for me due to Jackson having a reaction to it! Now I always have Benadryl on hand and take the 4 days of a new food serious when it comes to this. Especially when it comes to these common allergies. Even though we let him try our food, I still watch what I'm giving him.

*Crawling everywhere and pulling himself up to stand.

*He slaps the top of his hands, alternates slaps on his hands. Good hand eye coordination!

*Talking up a storm these days. Sounds like he says, "my mama." It's so cute and I'm sure he's saying it. He says, "dada." He is also doing the babababa, nananan and he watches your mouth move when you talk to him like he's trying to figure out how to say it. He also mimics us when we do raspberries or clicking of the tongue. He's pretty acquisitive!

*finally got his 2 bottom teeth!

*Loves to play with his toys, especially the ones that have buttons and make noise. He will sit there and play for a while and try to figure it out. I think he's going to be a smart one too.

*He loves to look at books.

*Another thing about Tanner that I just love is the way he moves his hands. When he reaches for an object or for my face he seems to have this gentleness about him. It like he's being cautious and gentle at the same time, but the way he moved his hands, it weird and cute at the same time. It's almost like he's seeing them for the first time. It's slow and cautious, it's weird. I can't even explain it. I just love that about him!
Here he is scooting out of his chair!

This one is super cute too!
At this point, he had enough!
Ok, mom! Take a picture of this! lol

I can't say it enough, but I love him so much.

Both of my boys are just bundles!
