9 months of Love

Dear David,
You have just turned 9 months and cannot believe how different you have become! The last 9 months have been filled with fear, hope, tears, joy, laughs, and so much more. Every day you bring joy to my heart and a smile to my face. Hearing you laugh is like hearing an angel sing. When you do something new it's just crazy to wonder how you had learned it. I just love watching you and playing with you and just being near you. You make me so happy!
You are doing so much now. You started to climb! So far only onto a foot rest (which you fell off of) and a small box. So hopefully you stay low to the ground for a long time! You can pull yourself into a standing position with just a little boost from a leg. You have been eating some real food. You seem to really like banana. But you will at least try everything before spitting it out onto yourself. You also love love love to eat paper! Which is not so much fun for me, since then I have to fish it out of your mouth! You crawl every where! You love opening the kitchen cabinets. You also love to pull all the movies down off the shelves daily.
You also cruse along the couch. Though for the most part you are still pretty content standing in one point and patting the couch. You also lifted your feet off the ground while holding onto the table yesterday! Can you say crazy! You are so strong. You are bigger than all our friends babies. When people guess your age they guess any where from 12 to 19 months! You have been in 18 months clothes since around 6 months or so. I think by a year you'll be in 24 months.
So you have 6 teeth now! 4 of which you got last month. The first one being 2 days before Labor Day. The next one was about 4 days after that. Then you got the next two a week or so after that point. So lets just say that month were not the greatest month for you. Also you had two colds last month! So you were sick and teething like all month long! Poor little you. Hopefully you will be done with teeth for a little bit now.
You still don't sleep through the night, but we are working on it. Your up about every 4 hours. Which some nights are ok, but some nights simply kills me. But I do love the extra cuddles. You have your cuddly times and I love it! Sometimes you just want to be exploring! You love to follow me around while I'm cleaning. You love throwing freshly folded laundry which is funny and sad at the same time. You also love sitting in the grass outside. Though you love to sit there and pull out grass and eat it. Though your starting to enjoy the outside more besides than just the grass.
We have been having a lot of play dates lately and you seem to enjoy it. You seem to like to play with all the toys and all the girls seem to like to follow you around since you are always the only boy. All the moms think you are cute also with you blond hair and blue eyes. You also get compliments on your cute ears a lot! You enjoy the bike ride to and from the play dates since we don't have a car while daddy is at work.
You seem to enjoy talking a lot, which is mostly like a small scream/grunt. You seem to do it a lot in the tub. Mostly screaming at your bath toys. Also you like exploring your body which is funny because you scream when you do that too!
David I just love you so and simply ask you to keep doing what you are doing! Keep growing, smiling, laughing, and being cute!

So the first 3 videos are from 8 months, but don't really know where the last video is from. Sorry it's side ways, not even sure why I would film it side ways and know think I can fix it. So I found another side ways video, so while your head is still off to the side you should enjoy both of theses. :)
