Yesterday E turned 9 months old…don’t know if I’m setting myself up for failure by continuing the number game with how old E is, but here goes 9 new things for him (hopefully all being the past month).

1. He gives kisses! I say mama kisses and make a kissing noise at him and more times than not he opens his mouth towards my lips…a special kind of E kiss I suppose.

2. He’s standing so well! He switches between hands and sways back and forth holding onto whatever it is he’s holding onto.

3. He’s starting to get the itch to crawl. This isn’t shown through his ‘tummy time’ but rather when he is sitting on the ground, he’s always putting his two hands on the ground in front of him and rocking, although his knees have yet to come under him.

4. He waves…most of time time! It’s really cute.

5. He’s starting to scoot around a little, turn in circles, move a little in one direction.

6. E has started to make some new sounds…some g’s and is more talkative than he used to be…if that’s possible.

7. He plays independently longer…yea…not as long as *some* babes, but longer than he used to.

8. He’s got so many teeth now…he’s up to 4, three of them being the past month!

9. The whole object permanence thing. E will follow an object out of view and fuss if he can’t get at it.

I cannot believe how old E is getting…he’s growing so rapidly, in every way possible.
