9 months

If we had to describe Ty in a few words at 9 months, they would be curious busy body! He is not just crawling and pulling up, but cruising on anything that is upright! We spend the majority of the day tracking him down and getting him out of predicaments. Whew!! But he is so much fun! And still the sweetest little thing. Here are a few more Ty-man facts at 9 months:

• He is totally over any form of baby equipment (swing, saucer, jumper, etc), which is terribly sad in a way. 
• The boy loves to eat. Anything. And we don't know when to stop feeding him because never acts full.
• He prefers to self-feed. He loves bananas, potatoes, lima beans, green beans, peas, mac and cheese, spaghetti, yogurt, Gerber cookies... this could go on and on. 
• He can drink from a sippy cup but only prefers water.
• He has *sort of* settled into a nap routine with a morning nap and an afternoon nap, and usually a short evening nap. But of course, this varies :) He is usually asleep for the night by 8 p.m.
• His night time sleep is fair, I guess. Some nights he sleeps all night in his bed. But some nights he ends up snuggling with me :) :)
• We don't know what he weighs, but he has a doctor appointment next week... (Weighs 22 lbs 14 oz and is 29 1/2 inches long - no idea if this is big or small, but he and B were the same size at this age)
• I am afraid he is going to be walking sooner than later :/ (See pictures below.)
• He waves bye.
• He still says dada, baba, and lots of other jibberish that I'm sure means something really important :)

WIDE OPEN!

Pure sweetness!
