9 Months!

Well, we made it! My little baby is 9 months old! I love this age, babies are soo much fun and they learn and develop so quickly!!

Nobody believes me when I say Ace's weigh gain has rapidly slowed down. He's 20 lbs 2 oz and still in the 75th% and his thighs are still works of beauty.

He is moving EVERYWHERE! It took him several weeks to figure crawling out, but as soon as he got it down, he started pulling up. I didn't eve have time to be surprised about that because then he started scooting around the furniture! Down our hallway there is a set of about 2 stairs and he mastered it instantly. I don't know how much longer we'll be able to live with Nana with such a mobile baby and so many things to get into.

Ace has a very interesting relationship with food. He never turns food down, and RARELY ever cues to end a feeding. In fact, most of the time when we are finished feeding he screeeaaaams. Even if i feed him something that makes him pull a face he never spits it out. This morning I fed him Grapefuit. Grapefuit people!! Oh and he LOVES ice water. Lincoln wouldn't drink water til he was well over a year, but this kid? The colder the better, what a weirdo!!

We had quite the snowstorm, and Ace was happy to be outside playing with us every minute of it! He is such a funny baby!!

I love pre-one year old because Mama is always the favorite! He likes everyone a lot but once I'm in sight, I'm usually greeted with smiles squeals and oh the ever frequent screams when I walk away. (ok sometimes it can be exhausting but I try as hard as I can to cherish it!) He gets VERY upset whenever i put him down!

He likes being "big" and doing things on his own already. Which can make his older brother a little annoyed at times when he is getting into his stuff. You can always see in his face how proud of himself he is!

Him and Levi here are Best Buds! Even if they live several states apart.

Holy smokes we love this kid so much. :)
