9 months and counting

A few days ago my precious little boy turned 9 months. I cannot even begin to understand how quickly this time has gone by. It seems like just a moment ago he was swaddled in a blanket content to just take a nap with mommy. Boy how things have changed! At 9 months  Josiah....
~weights 21lbs 2oz
~is 28 1/2 inches long
~has a head that is 47cm in circumference (90th percentile...wow!)
~can crawl like champ
~can pull up on anything and everything AND get down from that position~has eight pearly-white teeth (and isn't afraid to use them!)
~can hold onto something that is rolling and walk along with it....until he realizes I am video taping
~loves to climb on Brian and I and could spend hours playing "climb the parent" during our morning cuddles in bed
~smiles and turns his face when I tell him to give me a kiss and make "kissy" sounds
~loves to look out my bedroom window especially when the trash trucks come on Friday morning
~wants to eat off adult spoons if at all possible
~would rather take a whole cauliflower and stick it in his mouth than eat a spoon of mashed up baby food
~ is an extremely determined young man. He knows what he wants and will grunt and wiggle and get to it at all costs
~Still rarely cries unless hungry, tired, or scared...or if he's in the car and wants OUT
~LOVES water...baths....showers....pools....hoses...sinks....anything.
~Finds turning on and off light switches and faucets amazing
~is always thinking. So many of my pictures of him are with his head down because he is holding, turning, pushing and trying to figure out how everything works
~loves his Daddy's guitar...both playing it and listening to his dada sing and play
We love our little munchkin more and more each day and not a day goes by where Brian or I don't look at each other and say "He's just so cute!"
Thank you Lord.
