Nine Months Old

Well, here we are, February 25th - Samuel is now nine months old. I can't believe he is that old, yet, it seems as if he has been with us for much, much longer than that. We can't even remember what life was like before he arrived!

He is just so much fun right now. He loves to mimic us when we clap, make funny sounds with our lips, or just make noises in general. He smiles and laughs all the time and just brings us so much joy every day. He actually will follow me or Oscar around the house with his speedy little army crawl. When he sees that Peter is home from work, he gets really excited and smiles and army crawls all the way from the living room to the kitchen to say hello.

Last Thursday, we FINALLY started to see his first tooth pop through. We were beginning to think we were going to have a toothless kid! He handles teething like a champ though and doesn't put up much of a fuss - at least so far. He still loves every food we give him (except that darn cottage cheese) and definitely lets us know if we aren't feeding him fast enough! He's a great sleeper too, which we are both grateful for. Okay, enough of me blabbing. Here are some pics:


Even though he can easily crawl around his exersaucer,
he always seems to want to crawl UNDER it!
