9 months....

Our happy guy!

Love the picture below...he just looks like such a big boy!

Please forgive the high water jeans...looks like these will be getting retired after today...oops!

Can you believe it? I cannot! 9 months old today?!?!!!!! Life with a 9 month old is fun, crazy, exhausting, hilarious and most of all blessed! Scott is such a hand full. He is into everything. All the time. Today he didn't even take a nap. At all. Not even 15 minutes. Not even in the car on the way to and from the park. Hello high energy child! He is super interested in everything, especially if you bring something new on the scene...immediately drops what he was doing and beelines for the new thing (toy, car keys, magazine, random piece of scrap paper that falls). His new thing as of the last two weeks is sliding everything along the floor like its a car...wheels or not. Its really funny! He loves eating (no surprise) and we have started him on just a little bit of meat (thanks to turkey day) and he loves that, but he is not a great chewer so things still have to be pretty mushed up. And still no teeth so really who can blame him for not being a good chewer. He like to pick up little pieces of food and put them in his mouth by himself...so that's hours {minutes} of fun! He is close to walking...he can walk all over if he has a car to push but without the car he can only do 2-3 steps at a time before falling on his tushy. But soon I'm sure he will be walking all over like he'd been doing it his whole life. Scott's 3 favorite things (besides mom and dad) are probably Parker J., Charlie, and the park! He also loves loves loves when my sister does her "Scotty P" chant for him...Parker actually loves it too! Next time you see her, make her do it! HAHA!
Even though pregnancy is technically longer than 9 months, you still think of it as being 9 months and it is hard to believe that Scott has been alive as long as I was pregnant. Pregnancy seemed so long (at the time, now it seems like a blink) and these last 9 months FLEW by at warp speed! We just love our crazy little guy!
