Britton is 9 Months Old!

(you can click on the collage to make it bigger)

I glanced at the clock at 7:43 this morning ... exactly when Britton turned 9 months old. I am having a hard time believing my little boy is 9 months old today ... three-quarters of a year ... well on his way to his first birthday! Time has f-l-o-w-n by. He is such a little boy lately, as you can tell in the pictures. He has really grown some hair which makes him look less like a baby.

So, what's he doing lately?
He has been making lots of new sounds and combination of sounds. He is rolling around to get places, but hasn't started crawling yet. He is starting on finger foods like puffs and chunks of bananas and carrots and is holding his own there. He still loves to gnaw on a cracker for awhile. And he is now great with his sippy cup. He is serious about playing with his toys. He loves to jump in his jumper (or your lap ... everything is a jumper to him) and will hold up his feet so he can "swing" back and forth. He continues to be very social ... loves to look at people dead in the eyes and give them great big smiles. And occasionally he'll lean in to bump noggins. He's a fun little guy with lots of energy and personality! We are blessed to have him in our lives.
