So GB turned 9 months on December 23. I could barely manage to take this photo a full five days later–I have no idea how parents handle December/early January birthdays.

GB totally judges me.

Weight: 17.8-pounds, wearing size 3 diapers.

Likes: eating! trying to stand up, rolling, being harassed by his sister, gnawing on Sally’s fur, stealing people’s food, bouncing in his bouncer, lights and noises, being held, his mama.

Dislikes: He still loves being held and doesn’t love not being the center of attention, though he is playing a bit more independently with his toys (and by “playing,” I mean putting stuff in his mouth).

Eats: The kid loves to eat. We’ve started on mushy table foods, though watching him figure out his gag reflex is a bit nerve-wracking. He seems very glad to have discovered macaroni & cheese.

Sleeps: Still a great sleeper (thank god).

Accomplishments: Sitting up by himself, waving, high fives. He’s still not crawling–he prefers to roll to his desired destination. He’s really smiley and talkative–even a bit of a screecher.

Teeth: Four! All four of his front teeth came in within a week of each other. Surprisingly, he didn’t seem to be pained by this at all (unlike his sister, who let the whole world know when she was cutting a tooth).

I’m loving his crazy mad scientist hair. Isn’t his #babyfees onesie cute? It was a gift from my friend Kristen at by k.ev (it was also the only white shirt I currently have for him).

Happy 9 months, GB!
