Nine Months

Amid all of our traveling and summering, Caleb turned nine months old on August 3rd! It's official, he's been out as long as he was in! Why did nine months of pregnancy seem like a ridiculous eternity, but nine months on earth goes by in a flash? It's just not fair...on either end. So, what has a nine month old accomplished in life?

• Crawling...everywhere all the time.
• Standing...with the help of furniture or a nice human leg.
• Cruising...walking from object to object especially from the couch to the fireplace {this will be a problem when it gets cold.
  
• Talking...not full sentences {yet} but he's got "uh oh!" "mom" "dad" "no" and "Cart" down pretty good.
• Eating...whatever he wants when he wants.
• Drinking...a bottle like a champ
• Sleeping...through the night {finally}
• Going...all the places that we drag him during a day and week.
• Biting...my shoulder all the time.
• Smiling...a giant grin with 7 goofy teeth.
• Dancing...at the first sound of any music, even the theme song for the nightly news {Cali style}
• Injuries...bruised head and split lip, standing and cruising are both very dangerous.
• Climbing...up stairs, but not down {the couch is usually in front of the stairs for most of his waking hours}.
