What I Love About You {9 months}

Boaz, I love. . . 

• your bear crawl

September 15th

• how adventurous and curious you are


• how busy and ACTIVE you are


• how much you remind me of Jordan when he was a baby and what that does to me (where does time go?)


• how you love to climb up the stairs and are getting really fast at it (you know, when the gate is down and no one notices but YOU!)


• how you push the little red chair around using it like a walker


• how "talkative" you are (you speak jibberish ~ a cute jibberish) 


• how you hold my finger while you practice walking


• the big smile on your face while you practice ~ you know you are such a big boy!


• how you point to things that you want to see closer 


• your "giddy up" ~ when you want to go and someone is holding you, you kick your legs against the person, just like you would a horse to make it go, except you use your arms and your legs 


• your busy hands while nursing ~ they have to be grabbing, holding or pulling something like my arm or your hair. Once I discovered this, I started giving you something to grasp or play with 


• your long naps during the day (makes up for the wakings at night)


• how you sleep on your belly with your bottom in the air


• how you move around while you sleep 


• that you no longer will take a pacifier (at all) ~ you gave it up about a month ago and refuse to take it ~ in fact you will grab it and throw it 


• watching you chase your ball around the room ~ throwing it and then crawling after it


• YOU! 

The boys beckoned me this morning, saying "You have to come see this!" And THIS is what I found: 

They had rigged up the Cozy Coupe with pillows, a blanket and a "seat belt" for you.

They were pushing you up and down the sidewalk and you were loving every minute of it! ( it was 90 degrees, so it was warm enough for no clothes). It has been cool here though - 65 one day, 85 the next. But today it was hot.

I snapped this one just a bit ago.  You are such a happy boy! and such a fun baby. =)
