Our Monkey-butt is 9 Months Old!!!

He's growing way too fast!!!
I can no longer do a sit still photo shoot of him so I was hopping back and forth in the living room as he played and tried grabbing my camera...

Mastered/Advanced Skills: 

~ Crawling super fast!

~ Stands while holding onto something

~ Walks while holding onto furniture

~ Eats with fingers

~ Climbs on everything!

~ Bangs everything together (or on the floor!)

~ Knows what up, down mean

~ Waves hi (backwards)

 Weight: 24lbs +

Height: 27-28in. (He moves too much!)

Everything is still going in the mouth!

He is full of laughter and smiles! However, he's developed this whole new "stranger danger" concept. Someone new comes up to him, or someone he hasn't seen in awhile and his lower lip puffs out squints his eyes and starts bawling! Or if they try to hold him he pushed away screaming. Then when I hold him he smiles and leans his head on my shoulder.....

He has started doing this head tilt thing.... Like "look at me, I'm cute" or a little shy look. He has also started bobbing/shaking his head back and forth.

Holding onto anything he moves fast!

He's started this whole new "spitting" thing. Most time in my face. It is a mix between making fart noises and blowing bubbles... He is constantly covered in drool now!

Anytime I walk anywhere he is at my heels, climbs up my leg and uses my legs to walk circles around me. Anywhere I sit he climbs up and checks out what I'm doing or pulls on me until I pick him up to sit in my lap. 

He still gets pissed off at you if you're walking around and he's following you and then you change direction and pass him. It is hilarious.
He does crawl to you when you say come here and old your arms out to him!
