9 Months

I'm a little late at posting these but Devin just recently turned 9 months old. Time has flown by for me, I can't believe my baby is already 9 months. I don't know if its possible for a mother to love her child more than I love this little guy. He brightens my world and makes each day better and better. I spend most of my days playing with him and enjoying every minute I can.

At his 9 month check up he weighed in at 20.8 lbs and 30 inches long :) He is growing well and is a healthy little guy. Here are some fun facts about Devin:

* He has been crawling for about 2 months now and just barely started taking his first steps and standing on his own.
*He has 4 teeth, two on the bottom in the front and his top Incisors.
*He still loves his bathtime.
*If you say the word "outside" he gets really excited so we have to use the expression "OT" for outside. (Grandpa's fault for taking him outside every morning :)
* His nickname is Simba because he likes to pounce on soft pillows or people so watch out!
*His favorite foods are teddy grahams, peaches, pears, bananas, and anything that we are eating at the table.
*He will give you a kiss if you pucker your lips and say "Devin can I has a kiss?" (It is so cute)!
* His first word was "dadda" but now he will say "baba, lala, yeah yeah, and just recently likes to woooow and dodo"
*When he gets really excited he crinkles up his nose and gives you a big cheesy face.
*He loves to go to the laundry room with Grandpa and play with all the nobs on the washer.
*He likes the piano and will bang on the keys if I let him.
*He loves to sing at night, at church during the song, or if anyone else is singing he will start singing with you.
* He loves peek-a-boo and will hide himself with his blankets and uncover his face if you say "where's Devin?"
*He has a fascination with water so if you have water running he will be right by your side.
* He has an adorable giggle.
* He loves remote controls, cell phones, or anything with buttons.
* He knows how to climb up stairs, but is starting to learn how to come back down.

He is such a fun happy baby and I have enjoyed watching him grow the last 9 months.
