George turned 9 months last week. I can hardly believe it. He started to crawl on Christmas Day. He doesn't like to do it and doesn't go very far. Here he is not happy about having to come and get me.
And here's the head smack. He drops it either from sheer exhaustion or just for effect...not sure which.
And finally doing what he wants to really be doing, standing. Soon after he took off crawling, he started to pull himself up. He will pull himself up on anything he can and stand for long periods of time. This also means he falls a lot too. In these photos he has a bruise on his forehead and a bruise on his cheek. With these big falls his crying never lasts long. He can be such a tough cookie!
In other news George cut his fifth tooth by the new year. The teething has made him so unbelievably miserable. So much so that I was convinced something else was wrong with him. I took him to the doctor to make sure ears were clear only to be reassured that they were, that I have, in fact, a healthy baby. Good news for sure but I had no idea teething could be this horrible. He's had a reprieve for a week now making him a very sweet and content baby. Also giving way to much more exploration, crawling and climbing. I seem to spend my days sweeping the floor searching for choking hazards. He puts EVERYTHING in his mouth.
He's a funny and sweet baby. He loves to wrestle and climb all over me. He loves tickling and rough housing. He loves to conk foreheads with me. With all of his miserable teething we've only been hearing whining and whimpering sounds along with a lot of crying. We've been trying to get him to say mama/dada for a while now. Yesterday we heard him say "ma!" and look towards the kitchen for me. This morning he held his arms up for me and said, "maaaa!" Whether he's figured it out or not, I'm taking it as his first word being for me! :)
We're up to reading 4 books before nap, he used to only sit for two. One of them he's reading above. His Nani made it for him for Christmas. He is able to turn the pages. It is a definite favorite.
Here he is in the hotel in Chicago were I got a good shot of his top two teeth, finally.
Magnolia continues to be George's biggest fan. These two play and laugh together beautifully. Anything she does delights him!
Happy 9 months George!

OH MY....he is the cutest baby boy ever!! I loved this post and all the picture of your handsome little guy....especially the shot of him touching his toes...so sweet!!
Sounds like you are going to be chasing him in no time!
You can see the love these two have for one another..... I am sure watching them together puts a big smile on your face.
Hope you have a wonderful week.....and glad to hear that you are willing to play along with the B&W post!
How is the new computer? did you decide on the software? If you go Adobe CS4, I can help you out.... I don't know much about the other program, probably because I am a PC user!
Have a great week!

I can't believe George is 9 months old already! I just want to squeeze those cheeks and that double chin. Loving the baby chub. He is adorable.
OMGoodness! Nine months and still cuter than ever! Lucy, I cannot get over how much your world sounds like mine! LOL! For some reason I thought as they got older it got "easier"...NOT. I am already trying to keep things off the floor and out of Viv's mouth, but that alone is killing me! How do you get Magnolia to understand the small toys/choking thing? I swear I do a clean sweep, then come back a minute later and find some teeny timy Barbie or My Little Pony SOMETHING that was NOT there two seconds before. AGH! When she satrts crawling I am in trouble!!
Love the George update! Is it bad that I let out a giggle with the headsmack picture??
Boy. I'm starting to feel like part of your family because I can't believe he is nine months! Didn't you JUST have him? :)
He's such a cutie. Love the face plant picture... crawling can be dangerous!!
