Briton you turned 9 months old on August 2!!! It seems like this last month you have turned into my little “BOY” rather than my little “BABY.” Your personality is starting to show more and more. You get quite frustrated when you cannot do something or have something that you want. You kind of growl/whine when you don’t get your way, and at times your face can even turn a bit red. But….you also love to laugh, and that smile of yours could brighten up anyone’s day. Sometimes I’ll catch you looking at yourself in the mirror or playing with your toys – and all the sudden you just start to giggle. AHH…..I just love it!
You are continuing to be a little busy body. Your favorite
two places are the bathroom and the kitchen. In the bathroom, unfortunately,
the toilet water is what you love and in the kitchen, it’s the tupperware
drawer and cupboards. Another fun thing you like to do is knock down your blocks. Your dad
and I cannot stack them fast enough – we turn around and there you are, itching
to knock them over. You also seem to be getting braver when it comes to
standing. You have been walking along the furniture for quite a while, but now
you are just starting to take your hands off of things for a few seconds. But -
once you realize you are not holding onto anything, you fall to the floor.
Walking is something I am not going to push – I already have my hands full with
your speed crawling!
This past month was also the first time I have ever left you
over night. Your daddy and I flew to Colorado for a weekend to celebrate a friend’s
wedding, so we left you with your Nana and Papa. It was a little hard to leave
you behind, but you had a great time while we were away! You also took your first trip to the ZOO this month - you were very intrigued and confused by all the animals.
We have had a wonderful summer together, but you turning 9 months means our summer is officially over! Back to daycare and our daily routine!
