9 months!!!

Can you believe Garrison is already 9 months old?! In a weird way, it seems like it has flown by but also like he's been in our lives forever. These past 9 months we've gone through so many wonderful and exciting changes with him...he's not our itty bitty baby anymore!!

Here are some things he's up to these days...
*crawling EVERYWHERE
*climbing to a stand
*cruising (holding onto furniture and walking)
*standing on his own for a few seconds
*saying Mama & Dada (let the records show that my smart boy said Mama 1st!!)
*putting EVERYTHING in his mouth
*cutting teeth - his bottom 2 are in and his top right just cut through the gums...looks like he'll have 4 top teeth in no time!
*eating finger foods - cheerios, banana, blueberries, broccoli...really anything I give him!

He loves...
*his soft blue quilt blankie
*bathtime
*when Daddy puts him on his head
*this litte piggy...
*practicing walking...he gets SO excited!
*balloons

Here are his "stats" from his 9 month check up...
*18 lbs. 13 oz. - 25%
*28 in. - 50%
*Head 17.5 in - 25%

We just love our little boy head to toe!!
I love my Valentine's day present!

Hangin' out in the big high chair...

Check out that hair!

My little Valentine!

I just won't let go of this balloon!
