9 months!

It sure has been awhile since I posted. Our camera died and since I don't like blog post without pictures I waited until we replaced our camera.
Can you believe that our little man is 9 months?! I know I keep saying this, but where does the time go? He is growing so quickly and learning so much so fast that Matt and I are astounded at the things he's doing.
He's now pulling himself up on the furniture and walking along it. Every once and awhile he'll stand for a couple of seconds without holding on to anything. We know that he'll be walking soon.

He loves playing with the most random things. Lately, it's the broom. If you are using the broom, he'll follow you around trying to get it. When he finally gets the broom, he loves to move it around and play with the bristles.

He loves getting into everything! He's favorite thing is our cat, Gabby's food. The pictures speak for themselves. You look closely at his face you can see drops of Gabby's water on his face. Silly kid!

He is talking like crazy. His talking has just become more diverse. It's more grunts, screams, and any kind of sound he can make.
He loves food! He will eat anything. I mean anything! I think the only he hasn't like so far was onions, but they were uncooked (poor kid.)
He loves anyone who will give him attention. We were at Ihop one night. During the whole dinner, he was smiling, talking, and cooing at this cute 20 year old blond. Matt and I were a little worried that night that he's starting to flirt a little too young!
He has two teeth. We have had many sleepless painful nights waiting for them to break through. Now we think he's working on his top teeth. Here's a funny story. Someone recommended to me these teething tablets. So one day while we were stocking up on Tylenol, we grabbed some. It had in the disclaimer that it causes babies to become sleepy because the pain is relieved. Well, we had quite the opposite effect on Luke. He was the energizer bunny! We looked at the ingredients and it had caffeine in it! No wonder! Needless to say, we were afraid to use them again!

He still loves to cuddle especially if he is falling asleep. For the past 2 months, he wakes up at least once during that night. He loves it when Mommy or Daddy rocks and sings him back to sleep.

It's amazing how fast kids grow when you haven't seen pictures of them for 4 months. This whole, no internet in the house, thing really sucks. He is getting so big. I can't decide if he looks more like mom or dad. Either way he's a keeper. Your house looks cute too. I'm glad things are going well out there. We can't wait to come and visit you all someday.
