Landon @ 9 months


Landon boy turned 9 months on Monday(April 19). Wow! He loves to crawl around, clap his hands and continues to babble and sing. He still drools (a lot!) and has 4 teeth with 4 more coming in. We think he weighs at least 20lbs. Boy, is he getting heavy. His palette for food is getting broader...on top of rice, chicken, peas, spinach, carrots, butternut squash, bananas and apples, he has been introduced to pears, grapes, tofu and star snacks. It is a joy to watch him try to feed himself...a little messy but all good.

We've discovered that he is not a fan of wearing socks. He manages to always pull them off with his little hands and teeth or wiggle out of them without using his hands. He's starting to hold his bottle...but only for a little bit before he figures out..."I don't need to hold the bottle....someone will hold it for me".

He continues to explore and want to discover, touch and put anything he can into his mouth. This includes planting soil, paper, books and leaves. I've gotten biten a few times trying to fish stuff out of his mouth.

The joy our boy brings into our lives is well worth the long evenings of not getting enough rest and getting things done. Life happens and loving every moment.

Happy 9 months Landon!
