Roe at 9 months

Our "Baby Roe" is growing up TOO quickly for this momma! I can't believe he is 9 months old already. I definitely agree with my SIL (sis in law) that nine months out of the womb goes by much faster than the nine months IN the womb!! Well, Roe's check up was today and here are his stats: Weight: 17.5 pounds Length: 26 1/2 inches

As for other stuff he is "into" right now... He LOVES to eat babyfood and can down three 4oz. jars at each meal! Because he still only has two bottom teeth, we are just now introducing some finger foods. He likes it, but it will probably be easier when some top teeth come through. (He does have one that's working it's way down, so it won't be long!) He has traded in 'blowing bubbles' for smacking his lips! It is so cute, and he just smiles at the sound it makes! He's a curious little fellow and quite the little explorer. He crawls all over the house and I am amazed at how fast he can get out of my sight! He loves playing in Drew and Grayson's room and heads that direction a lot. He is pulling up on anything (and anyone) and is even starting to cruise on the furniture a bit. He loves to play peek-a-boo, pat-a-cake, and our own version of chase. This is where he crawls away and when he knows I am about to reach him, he drops to his tummy, sticks his face in the carpet, and giggles. It is so funny! Man, he is such a fun kiddo. WE are so thankful for you, Roe, and I am so glad that I get to be your mommy!
