nine months old today

my little guy has grown up overnight. i'm not kidding. it seems like just weeks ago he was barely learning to scoot around. now he is CLIMBING on everything (see pictures as proof).
he pulls himself up in his crib {i just had to put the football mobile away} and can even get up a couple of stairs. he's totally over the 'army' crawl, and is always up on his hands and knees. he's eating TONS of food and even self feeding himself bite size pieces- and he's making progress with the cup. he still is putting everything in his mouth- his favorite thing to chew on is shoelaces {yuck-o!}.

adam has two adorably sharp teeth in his mouth and if you aren't careful, he'll bite. i love this little guy!

often he falls asleep in my arms and i look into his face and can still see that brand new baby.

i don't think i could possibly be more smitten with him! okay, well *maybe* if he slept better at night. ;)

here he is with his sister that is equally smitten with him- except when he pulls her hair or tries to eat her pink blanket. they are 19 months apart in age and less than 5 pounds difference between. i give it two years before he's bigger than the little miss.

we love you adam and are very excited
about your upcoming
first birthday extravaganza!
