Happy Halloween

9 Months...

and falltastic pictures!

I can't believe how big Miles is getting. He is already 9 months old, only 3 more months until my baby is a year old!?!

Here are a few highlights from this month...

9.29.09
-He is mobile...he started to crawl!
-He loves to dance. If he's in a bad mood just start dancing and he becomes all smiles. Seriously adorable.
10.6.09
-He can pull himself to standing and will use any means to do so. This can be painful!
10.12.09
-Our chubster weighs 20 lbs!
-He has out grown his infant seat.

-He has started feeding himself cereal puffs. He is so proud of himself {we're proud of him too}.

-He is such a busy little guy and gets into EVERYTHING, especially the things he's not supposed to.
-He will slobber on my cheeks if I make kissing noises, I think he's trying to kiss me back.
-loves to clap.
-is VERY slowly learning how to sleep through the night.
-likes it when I play in his hair.

my wonderful, adorable sister Morgan!
She helped me take these super cute pictures.

You've gotta have a few mommy pictures :)

-He likes me to read to him, right now his favorite book is Jungle Tumble {a hide & seek book}.
-He still loves being outside, so naturally he had a blast taking these pictures.
-He loves his grandparents, aunts, and cousins...well pretty much everyone. He is such a social butterfly.
-He still loves bath time, we are both soaked by the end.
-He loves to be held...ALL THE TIME! He'll follow me around and try to climb up my legs until I pick him up.
-He's just to dang cute!

He is growing up so fast, but he gets more fun every day. I love this age/stage. He is so full of energy and curiosity, it is so fun (and exhausting) to watch him explore new things.

We love him so much!

Thanks Honey

I think these pictures speak for themselves!

Major Milestone #9

Miles can pull himself to the standing position. The first time he did it was actually this morning in his crib. I walked in to get him and there he was staring at me from over the rail. This proves to be problematic; especially at bath time & bed time.

next step - walking!
