9 months!

At 9 months Andrew loves:
-feeding himself (bananas, peaches, bread, puffs, cooked veggies, grass and handful's of sand at the beach)
-the water (he thinks he's a turtle that needs to leave the beach when the waves come in)
-crawling around (he still does his left armed army crawl and he has a sore on his right foot where he pushes himself along)
-Mama (which he now says when he really needs something)
-Roxy and Grace (he tries to keep up as they run through the house)
-Daddy (he will grab daddy's face and give him big open mouthed kisses!!!)

He is now sleeping from about 7pm-7am, getting up only once around 4and he still takes two naps. His hair continues to grow.  It's so think that when it gets hot, I lift it up and blow on his neck and scalp.  He smiles and laughs because he enjoys it so much.  He's eating three full meals along with a snack in the afternoon and nursing about 4-5 times a day.  He still is not great at sitting as he never ever stays still long enough to hang out in one spot.  He can do a full sit up though from laying flat on his back.  He did about 7 the other day in the stroller, too funny! He is so easy going and such a joy to have around. Everyone adores him. We are so thankful for our son.  We love you Andrew!
