9 months already!!

Here we are again! Another month older. I can't believe I have a nine month old baby, where does time go? Unfortunately our baby boy is sick on his nine month birthday : ( It just breaks my heart! I've never seen him like this before. He has the saddest little whine, and wants to be held all the time. For those of you who know Trent, know this is definately out of character for him. Usually he doesn't like to be held, he would much rather be on the floor exploring. I just feel so helpless seeing him so sad. The only thing I can do is give him Tylenol, cool wash clothes and give him as much love as possible. He is being really sweet though, he will actually lay his head on my shoulder, which I of course LOVE! I sure hope he gets better soon! Oh yeah- through all of this he is sleeping amazingly well! What a little trooper!
Other than being a little under the weather the past couple days, our little man is still growing up way too fast and learning new tricks all the time. Heres what he has been up to this past month:

• Has eight teeth- The eighth just popped up today
• Can stand on his own for a good length of time
• Goes to sleep on his own at night!!! YAY
• Loves to feed himself- boy is it a mess!
• Still takes two 2ish hour long naps
• Loves to climb up the stairs
• Stands on the first stair and shakes the baby gate
• Gets into the kitchen cabinets
• Has taken a step a couple times
• makes a new sound "nanana"
• Loves the dishwasher- I cant do dishes when he is awake, he crawls right over and tries to pull things out of the silverwear rack ie: knives, forks, anything that can hurt him. Remember I said TRIES
• Loves the dogs- he pulls their ears, lips, fur, anything he can get ahold of. They are so good with him though.
• Is developing a little stranger anxiety. When ever a stranger says hi to him he turns his face to me and puts his head on my shoulder.
• Loves loves loves blueberries, or as you can see from my last post, anything with blueberries in it.
• Loves to brush his teeth with my electric toothbrush- he has his own head
• Has no fear- he would go hear first of the couch or any edge if I let him.
• Is becoming more and more fun everyday!!!!

I just love this little boy to pieces! Being his mommy is the most amazing thing I have ever experienced! I feel so lucky, and proud to call him my son. He is the absolute light of my life!
