Aaron at 9 months

I can't believe this baby boy is already 9 months old!! (And now, almost 10!) He is one of the brightest lights of my life. His smile lights up the world.



-He is starting to take a few steps at a time! We thought he'd be walking by 9 months, but thankfully he wasn't.
-He's still a tank.
-He's starting to like food more. He pretty much skipped baby-food stage and went straight to regular food. He just never really liked the mushed up stuff.
-He's a happy, happy baby... everyone adores him. He has the greatest smile in the world.
-He's a super fast crawler... we can't believe his speed.
-He loves getting everything he shouldn't... but what baby is any different? :)
-He ADORES his brother and sister. He thinks they're the greatest in the world.

Preview of 10 months:
-He's saying 'mama' and 'dada' in context.
-He just learned to wave! Soo cute!
-He's walking lots of steps - 3-4 at a time. He's starting to let go and turn around and step away from things on his own.
-He's able to wander around and play by himself for long periods of time now. That's wonderful!
-He LOVES the water - he dives for the sink and loves to crawl quickly toward the bathtub and stand up by it. He protests-much when I take him out of any kind of water - ie. washing his hands.
-I call him 'Bubbies' a lot, and sometimes "Bubs" and "Bubs-a-wubs-a"

We love this little bug sooo much!!! He is such a joy.
