Cy: Nine Months

Cyguy,

The name of your game this month is move–go, go, go! I could not get one picture where you were laying still looking at the camera. You love to move. Getting your diaper changed is your least favorite thing ever because you have to lay still (and my least favorite because it’s SO hard to get you to lay still!)

You are crawling faster and faster, and getting your knees underneath you more often. You are pulling up and standing always and everywhere. You are starting to occasionally cruise in between two objects, like your play table and a stool.

This month you’ve started playing the sweetest games. One day, you were in the bathroom while I was getting ready for work. When I went back out into the bedroom, you crawled around to follow me. Then you played peek-a-book with me hiding your head back behind the bathroom door, and then popping out again. It was so adorable. Mimi said that at her house today you were so busy playing a game where you put a ball in the basket, then knocked the basket over, watched the ball roll out and grabbed it to put it back in the basket.

Eating is still one of your favorite activities. You’ve started doing a lot more finger foods. Recent food you’ve tried and liked: sweet potatoes chunks and green beans. You went crazy for a beef ragu we had the other night. On the flip side, you do not really care for boiled egg.

You’ve now officially been in the outside world longer than you were inside me. Hooray! It’s been such a wonderful and fun 9 months with you on the outside. We are so happy that you are part of our family.

Love,

Mama
