And I can't forget to mention that Garrison has learned how to pee standing up. We were playing outside yesterday in the baby pool and he had to go so he instead of running inside all wet, I suggested he pee on a tree. So now he's found a tree in the backyard that he has peed on three times. He's so excited about this new trick! I know, not really something normally mentioned on other mommy blogs, but I still wanted to document this first! Haha...I'm such a mom of boys :)

It's been a big week
In the last seven days Davis has gotten two teeth (his bottom ones!) AND he started doing the traditional crawl! See, it has been a big week. He's also started pulling up to the kneeling position. It is seriously amazing how quickly things change and how my baby is turning into a toddler. And I have to admit that I am loving watching him and all this newness. I just love that kid!!

Silly boys
Garrison decided that he wanted to wear his dragon costume today AND he thought Davis should wear his. This just cracked me up! Here's a little video of my dragons playing with bubbles...

9 months and other happenings
Davis is 9 months old! Already! It's just amazing that my little baby is 9 months old. He is getting more independent and moving around on his own quite a bit. He still isn't doing the "traditional" crawl, but his little worm movements get him where he wants to go! And he LOVES to jump. When he's on my hip he does this cute little jumping thing and moves his arms up and down like he's trying to fly. He get's so excited doing it too...just precious! And so funny! Davis is still quite laid back, but he's definitely asserting himself more with Garrison (and us). And to tell you the truth, I'm glad he's got some opinions!
So he still has NO teeth. Yep, none! He is SO my baby because I was around a year old when I first got mine. And speaking of being my baby...he has my ears too. And by that I mean that he is SUPER prone to ear infections. In the last 5 months he's been on 7 different antibiotics. It's been horrible. So it was suggested by our pediatrician to see an ENT to discuss tubes. Well the ENT thought he'd be a great candidate for them. But, I wanted to hold off a bit to see how he did not being in a daycare environment and not getting sick as much. Well, 2 weeks into staying at home, WITHOUT even being sick, he got another ear infection. So we scheduled the surgery. Last Tuesday my sweet baby had his first surgery. Anesthesia and everything! He did great, just out of it most of the day. And he's already sleeping better. Thank GOD because I'm TIRED! Seriously though, I got 2 full nights of sleep this week and it was AMAZING.
Davis is sitting up quite sturdy these days as well so we are now able to bathe the boys at the same time. I love that they can splash around and play together in the bathtub. Seriously cute. Of course they also fight. Already! Garrison wants EVERYTHING that Davis has his hands on. We are really working on this whole sharing concept...very frustrating at times!
All in all Davis is just a sweet, sweet boy that has added the perfect mix to our family. We love him so much and look forward to so many more changes in the coming months.
Here are his 9 month stats:
*Weight: 19 lb 7 oz (34%)
*Height: 28" (45%)
*Head: 17.52" (29%)
Garrison has some new developments as well. He's almost fully potty trained... HALLELUJAH! It's been a slow and steady process and nothing that we have really forced. He's wearing big boy underwear as I type this and he's quite proud of himself. So are we!!
Our big boy also LOVES to mow or do anything yard work related. It is seriously his favorite thing to mow and use the weed eater with Daddy. That is some serious bonding time!! (Of course Bryan is super careful with G out there.)
Speaking of Garrison's favorite things, we ask him every evening what his favorite thing about that day was. I love hearing from his perspective what he enjoyed the most. Sometimes he surprises us and says the sweetest things (my favorite thing was when you came home to be with us!). He is such a sweet and very active, fiesty toddler. Love him!
Last week my mom and I took the boys to the Japanese Gardens to take Davis' 9 months pics with my friend Jane. She did an amazing job!! Here is her blog post with some of the shots...
