9 months!

how does that happen?!?
i can still remember {my body can still feel} him inside of me!
just like it was yesterday!
and now he's 9 months old.
{it was impossible to get him to sit still for a picture...}

to be honest, it hasn't been my favorite month of his life.
but that's because he was sick...and then getting over being sick...
but we still love him.
and he's still the cutest thing ever.

eating lots of different foods.
he's pretty willing to try anything.
and then just spits it out if he doesn't like it.

pulling up on everything.
i find him like this often.
he hasn't figured out the stairs yet...i know my days are numbered.

oh, and those curls!
can you see them?
these pictures don't do them justice.

i love them.

and we can't forget the smile.
that makes his eyes sparkle.
and my heart sing.
