How big is Caedon? So BIG!

Caedon is 9 months old today!  It's crazy to me that he's 3/4 of the way to a year old.  But it's true and he's growing up more every day!

As of 9 months old Caedon can:
crawl - everywhere and very quickly
stand up - he pulls up on everything and he's started taking tentative steps sideways while holding onto things.
eat! - he is a little piggy!  He LOVES his bottles and if he sees it but it does not find it's way to his mouth immediately he starts doing his high-pitched scream which gave him his nickname within days of his birth - Teapot.  He also loves baby food, Gerber Puffs and Yogurt Melts and just tonight he started eating "real people" food (as my kiddos called it) - tonight it was diced bananas and carrots. 

He's learning to clap his hands and he LOVES to play Patty Cake with me.  And he loves to hang upside down or be tossed up into the air.  Or have me hold him up in the air to fly like an airplane.  He loves splashing in the bathtub.  He hates laying down to get his diapers or his clothes changed.

He's a very good sleeper.  He very very rarely fights naps or bedtime.  When he did fight it the other day I told Brian I don't remember how to deal with it. Kyler fought almost EVERY nap and bedtime until he was about a year old so it was frustrating but normal.  Now, if Caedon does it, it's I-want-to-rip-my-hair-out frustrating because I've forgotten how awful it is to listen to them scream!

He's saying ma-ma!  I'm not certain that he knows that it means me but he might.  He mostly says it when he's whiny or wants something, so it does make sense.  :)

 

So many people comment on what a happy baby he is.  And he is.  He's sweet, smiley, low-maintenance.  Such an easy baby for this busy mommy! I've been more than a little bit blessed to have him in my life for these last 9 months! (plus the 9 before that when he was in my uterus... :D )
