Happy 9 months!

 Happy 9 months little one. You continue to be a blessing to our family and it is crazy that there was life before you. Oh yea... well until I remember what sleep was like ha. ONLY KIDDING, well sort of. You still arent a fan of sleeping and we all play musical beds at night because of it. You are a true joy during the day, until its naptime of course! I'm still holding out that you will one day learn to love it.

This picture really makes me laugh. "Um, really Mom?" Yea I had to give up because you were just not in the mode. Your personality is pretty funny these days. You have to be in the middle of anything and everything that is going on. Griffin likes to call you "the giant" because anytime he is playing with something you come over and try to steal it, or knock all his army men down :)
 Those big brown eyes are killer and you have the cutest little lips. Its hard to tell exactly who you look like. When you smile you you have Mommy's cheese. You definitely have the Isham coloring though and favor your Daddy at times too. What a handsome boy you are!
 It is fun to watch you learn the world through exploring. There is nothing that you want that you dont go after and get. And it never fails that if your brother has something you immediately become interested.
 That smile of yours brings joy to everyone you share it with! I especially love when you give it to me and then follow by babbling, "mom mom momma!" You just started that this past week and it makes me melt :)
 Your schedule these days is:
7:00 wake up and have bottle
730- cherrios for breakfast
9-10 naptime... or so we try!
10-1130 playtime with brother
1130- lunch with Daddy (eating more and more table food: spaghetti, applesauce, fruit, bread, ham, cheese, and anything I might be having to you always seem to enjoy!)
1:30- try naptime again (you are good for about 45 minutes and then you done most days
5:00- dinner
8:00-bed
*You are still having 8 ounces of formula every 3 hours too!

Other things to note about 9 months:
-crawling and pulling up
-opening drawers
-clapping your hands
-saying Dada, Momma, baba (aka bottle)
-love to be sung to and read books
-still a Momma's boy
-wearing size 4 diapers and 12 month clothes
-weigh 20 lbs and 28 inches long
 Mommy and Daddy went to the state convetion today so you boys got to have fun with Cici and Aunt Lee! You showed them how you love to jump.
 And that after every nap you have awesome hairstyles!

They gave you lots of snuggles and spoiled you good :)

Crackers and Tackling

 You have now discovered Ritz crackers and love them almost as much as you love your Mommy! I definitely think you will be saying goodbye to baby food sooner than your brother because you love it SOO!
 You love to join in on the tackling with your Daddy and brother.
But I'm not sure who has more fun... you or your Daddy :)

Daddy's HOME!

 We were all excited to see Daddy today when he came home. You had an incredibly awful night last night unfortunately and we all didnt get much sleep... so Mommy was especially grateful for some help!
Its a good thing you are so darn stinking cute :)

Friday Funday with friends


Daddy is at a men's retreat so the 3 of us decided to have a fun day with our friends in Wake Forest! We visited with Grayson and his Mommy Jen. We also had dinner with your brother's buddy, Jonathan. Oh how we miss being so close to them... even if its only 30 minutes away now ha!

Cherrios for breakfast

When your brother and I have our cereal in the morning you get very jealous and want some too so I have started getting your own! Cherrios are the favorite choice of yours :)

Stinker

Oh you little stinker. Its all I can do these days to get you to sleep for longer than 45 minutes. It gets really crazy when your brother goes down for his afternoon nap and you decide you only want a short nap and then SCREAM! I do everything I can to keep you quiet but it is very hard in our tiny humble abode we are living in now. For about an hour you just said in my lap and gave me your little stinker smile and all I could do was smile back. You have a serious case of the "I cant be away from my Mommy!"

I cant get down!

 You are ALL over the place these days boy. Crawling wherever you want to go. And most of the time my little shadow.
The only problem is... when you pull up... you cant get back down. Well you can but you choose not to and instead just SCREAM!!!
