Andrew {9 Months}

My sweet boy is getting so big!!! He's definitely not a baby baby anymore...which makes me so sad but I also love how much fun he is right now! Evelyn and him play a lot more, which I LOVE! It is so sweet to see! I put up the baby gate/pen in the playroom so if I need him closed off I can shut it or I can leave it open and have toys in there for him to play with. So Evelyn likes to go in there too and they play blocks together and trains and it's so cute! I love that he is happily entertained now for good periods of time with toys or Evelyn or cruising around the house. Sometimes he'll take a ball and chase it around the house, pretty funny :) I LOVE how much of a boy he is! He totally plays with the cars we have, goes back and forth with them, and then at the store he still LOVES the car cart, moves the wheel back and forth like he's driving, super adorable. He gets so excited when he sees them too! I think it's so funny how he does these things without really ever being shown.

Anywho...Andrew is learning lots of new things....he's learned to open up the cupboards, which we definitely need to put safety things on them ASAP....just gotta find them :) He's also learning to clap, which he is very proud of. Another thing he loves is the water table and the pool. We've been playing outside more now that it's getting hotter. He's such a water baby! And he loves being outside still. I've been taking walks with them in the double/bike stroller which they both love.

Another big thing in Andrew's life is he has two new teeth on the bottom with his top two front about to come in any day now! They've been sitting there forever and are driving me crazy that they haven't popped through yet!

He's still my big boy...weighing around 23 lbs according to my home scale and approx. 29-30 in. tall....this was also measured at home but he was being so wiggly that I couldn't quite get it right :) He's still super sweet and gives kisses a lot now....very slobbery and wet kisses but still sweet :) He eats anything and everything. He's still climbing/standing on anything he can but now can get down successfully, which is really nice! He's still talking about a storm and talks a lot while he's playing, which is super cute. He's still doing all he did before and is now doing a lot more na-na's. He also likes to scream with Evelyn...super fun :) He's also doing this really grunty/growly/constipated face when we're feeding him and he wants more...it's SO funny!

Well I think that's all for now...I'm off to bed..super tired and can't remember what else I wanted to say and I also have a military homecoming to take pics for at 3am! eek! Super worth it though! Here's some pics for you all! :)
