9 Months Old!

Mom is getting slow on getting my pictures up!  Sept 27th I turned 9 months old!  I had a doctor's appointment and I thought I was going to make it out of there without getting stuck in the leg but they got me with a flu shot.  I weighed 20 lbs 3 oz and was 28 in tall!  I'm a healthy boy - just need to start cutting down on my bottles and start eating more big boy food!

On my board of firsts for 9 months, Mom wrote that I started singing myself to sleep so I wanted to let everyone get a sample of my signing.  Nothing to see on the video but be sure your volume is turned up!

New Friend!

In addition to getting to watch the Tigers play last weekend, I also met a new friend!  His name is Daniel.  He's two days younger than me.  I can't wait to get together to play with him and Oliver at the same time!

Here's Daniel and I with our Moms.  Can't wait to hang out at another game with him!

Our moms wanted me to show Daniel how to crawl forward but we were more interested in eating some puffs!

Go Tigers!

It finally happened...I got to go to a Clemson football game!  Well, technically I've been before in Mom's belly but this time I actually got to see it!  Clemson played Wake Forest and of course they won!  The weather couldn't have been better!

First we did some tailgating...  I found all sorts of chairs to sit it that were just for me.  

Tailgating is hard work - I had to take a nap after a while!

Here we are going into the stadium, with the campus in the background.

Wake Forest made me a little nervous when they scored a touchdown.  But I didn't have to worry - Clemson had it under control and won the game!

I made it through a quarter of the football game and then had to take a nap.  I was so tired - headphones weren't even needed to block out the noise!

Unfortunately I was still sleeping when we left the game at half time so I missed out on smiling for the family picture!  Guess I'll just have to go to another game!

I had such a fun time at the game and even tried cheering for Clemson just like Dad!

Whose Bed is That?

There are lots of beds around the house.  Me and Paul have a hard time keeping track of whose bed is whose...

FYI - I wasn't actually asleep - I was just resting my head in the middle of playing!

Yum! Yum!

About the time I moved to my new daycare class, Mom and Dad started sending solid food with me to school to see if I liked it better there.  I definitely do!  I haven't tried peas again yet, but I do like apples, peaches, squash, sweet potatoes, pears, mixed veggies, carrots and plums!  Mom blends up mangoes for me and I love those!

I even like puffs and chopped up bananas, but someone else has to put them in my mouth for me.  

This weekend Mom got me some cookies and they are big enough for me to pick up and feed myself.  I don't always hit my mouth but I get close enough!

Babyproofing!

Apparently Mom and Dad weren't too keen on me putting bite marks on the nicest piece of furniture in the house...  At least the crib bumpers get another use!

Me and Paul!

Here's some video of the arrangement Paul and I have.  I get to pet him and he gets to lick me!  Recently I discovered Paul's tail.  And while Paul won't let me play with it, it makes me laugh when it hits me in the face!

Mom wanted me to add that I was on my way to getting a bath right after she took this video...
