9 Months - October 31

What a fun month!  Davis is all giggles, smiles, laughs, babbles (dadada and mmmmmm, just to name a few).  A day doesn't go by without someone commenting on his beautiful smile and/or eyes.  He is quite the adventure-seeker, he will climb anywhere (through our coffee table, over step ladders).  When he is touching something that we say "No, No" (like the fireplace), he looks at us, giggles, and proceeds with touching it. 

This boy LOVES to eat.  He is still eating pureed baby food but prefers his finger food and lots of it.  We went from being cautious and careful about everything he eats to quickly just trying all sorts of new finger foods.  So far, the only reaction we have seen is a little irritation from strawberries.

Couldn't get this picture turned correctly-sorry!

Davis is also becoming very opinionated.  If he wants or doesn't want something, he surely lets you know with grunts.  We are working on our sign language to reduce some frustration for all of us! 

What a precious little man! We have his 9 month appointment next week, we are so curious to know his stats...considering things are so short on him (torso and legs).

There were 5 Mondays this month and his actual 9 month birthday falls on a Monday!  What a special day today (not to mention that it is Halloween too)!  We can't believe this pumpkin will be 1 in just 3 short months! 

We are so blessed to have this little boy in our life!  This is from one of my favorite children's books,

"I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always. 

As long as I'm living, My baby you'll be."
