Nine

Wyatt-

I say it every month, but I can't believe how fast time is going by! You are now 9 months old. This has been a big month for you. Just a week after you turned 8 months old, you started crawling. You are constantly on the go now! You love to go exploring all over the place and Mommy and Daddy have to keep an extra careful eye on you. You also like to pull up on things and stand. Your crib rail has some nice little teeth marks on it from you standing in it :) You have really started talking alot too. I'm pretty proud because now you can say "mama". You've started eating some new foods this month- yogurt, lil crunchies and puffs, baby foods with meat (though Mommy really does not like the smell of them!) and white grape juice. At your 9 mth check-up this week you were 24lbs 4 oz (90th percentile) and 30 1/2 in long (97th percentile!!!) You are going to be a big boy and maybe end up tall like your Papa Joe.

I love you more than I could have ever imagined. You have brought so much happiness to our lives and I thank God for you every day. I pray that you will always know how much your Daddy and I care about you and want you to have all that this big world has to offer you.
Love you miles and miles forever - Mommy

P.S.- We had professional pics taken on Wednesday, so stayed tuned for a sneak peek!
