Little Bear is already 9 Months Old!

it was time to lower the crib. now he can only peak over the edge.



A dancer in the family! :) Haha! Discovered the stairs, but so far only managed to get up two by himself. 

Now standing without assistance, it just happened over night. He had been pulling himself up on me when we played, using me as his climbing gym, then the next day reached up and stood up! 


Safe in Daddy's arms! His favorite place to be, on his way to his favorite time of day! Bath! 

This is why we had to lower the crib, he could stand, and the rail was at his chest. My little baby is getting so big!

Reading with Daddy, a favorite daily activity with us. 



In the newly lowered crib...not a happy camper! I'm in Jail mom!

We did have a couple of traumatic nap times with the new changes, he doesn't like dramatic change (Uh oh...much like me) I think he has adjusted once we got the bumpers readjusted 


Happier! He was so much happier we put his old bumper in the back side of the crib.  He loves to snuggle up to it, but now he can't stand on it to use it as a launching pad. 

Playing Peek-a-boo with daddy! Love you can see his grin through his eyes

Waving to Daddy!






He has just grown up so much! I really can't believe I'm just 3months away from his 1st birthday.  He's 26 1/4th inches tall! He's such a mover and a shaker, and is right on track and growing strong. The Doctor was so excited to see his test scores for his development and is well ahead of where he needs to be, so this mommy is very happy! 

Top teeth haven't made their appearance, couple of false alarms and rough days, but no shows yet. 
Table food is in process, loves squash and apples. Hates peas. Everything else he enjoys. We are learning to add more things, tried eggs, and he has enjoyed that. 

Family news, my parents moved back to our area, close by just 10mins from my house...and we are soooo so happy to have them close by! Aunt AK gets to spend time with us as well and its just been so great to be here to see him grow. Little Bear is in Love with his Papa! I went grocery shopping the other day, and he went to my parents house to play for the hour. I got back and got a huge smile! Papa went in the other room, and instant HUGE pouty lip came out, and wasn't happy until Papa came back and held by his Papa. I just love that! Having almost all our family close by is so wonderful.

He is very investigative. At church the nursery volunteers told my hubby, that they would just hand him a toy, he'd sit there and examine it, then when he would get bored, they would just hand him a new toy and did that the whole time. 
He loves to sing along with me to the radio, and read to me after I've read him the book. 

He really does learn something new every day. Trying to keep up with the baby books. I finally put them by my bed so I can jot something down before sleep. He is sleeping through the night almost every night, there will be an occasional 4am wake up call, but he notices its still very dark, enjoys his snack and goes back to sleep. I love those sleepy smiles just for me. He has started to cuddle with me, nestling into my shoulder and hugging me when he gets sleepy. He loves to snuggle too when he first wakes up, just sit and relax a while. I love it! 

Time to start planning the First Birthday party! Its just around the corner! The question is Mickey Mouse or Winnie the Pooh cake? :) Every day is an adventure! We are loving every moment we can.

Christmas!

Our Christmas Tree with mostly my collection of Disney ornaments

It looks like his is posing right here, this was his true captured expression  when he saw his Christmas gifts

His favorite part of his new rocking horse was the ribbon


Until he rode it! :)

Loving the beaded on his puzzle (my deal of the century 99cents!)



In awe of his little fisher price cars


I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!! ;)

A book from Great Grandma W! He is in love!
Truly my son with his love for books

Posing with all his gifts! The blessing of bargain hunting, a rocking horse, books, wire puzzles, baby Einstein toy, and fisher price cars
  


His favorite was the playing with the paper we left out on purpose for a few day






Merry Christmas! It truly was a blessed one!
