9 MONTHS OLD

11/19/2014

Dear Family,

I am 9 months old today!

sit still for what

Stats: I weigh 19 pounds 10 ounces, have sandy blonde hair and blue eyes. I am wearing size 3 diapers and clothes anywhere from 6-9 months to 9-12 months. I have 4 teeth. The doctor says I am short for my age, but if you've seen my parents you will probably think it's pretty normal.

Some things I have learned how to do: Crawl and crawl fast, go up and down stairs in my living room, stand up along furniture/walls and cruise, eat all types of food, walk with walker, babble, and wave! I recognize my name and sometimes when my mom says "come here" I listen. Sometimes when my adults say "no no," I laugh!!

Some things I find intriguing: The vacuum cleaner, dogs, kids and other babies, outside, cashiers, anything in the bathroom, garbage cans, anything with a screen, dog food!!

Some things I could do without: the car seat, getting diaper changed or clothes put on, having to wear socks or shoes, getting nails clipped/nose wiped/lotion put on

Some things I love: When my dad or papa puts me on top of their head or on their shoulders!! I love to be tickled on my sides, neck, armpits, or knees. I sometimes like to be carried around by mom or grandma when I get lonely, but other times will play with my toys for a long time. I do like to explore my house and my grandparents house and sometimes mom will let me play in the kitchen cupboards, with her bracelets, or hair brushes!!

Love, 

Garrick
