Nine Month Letter

Milo man,

You are the sweetest little boy and I am just having a ball watching you learn and discover new things everyday.  You have really started to become more aware of your surroundings and anxious to touch and play with everything you can get your hands on.

You are sitting like a champ these days, I can put you on the floor with your toys and you'll happily play for roughly 10 minute stretches.  But, jumping in your bouncer is still your all-time favorite thing to do.  It doesn't matter what time of day it is or if you're sick or healthy.  That bouncer is your best friend!

I swear that you're teething and everyday I expect to see a little tooth in your mouth, but no such luck.  You are just so fussy so often that I can't really imagine it being anything different.  Although, it could be the recurring ear infections you seem to be getting. That's no fun for anyone - cut it out, ok?

You started clapping this month and it's just about the cutest thing ever.  You clap when you're happy and you clap when you're watching TV.  You clap in your bouncer and you clap when I clap.  You love it and I love watching you do it.

Crawling....oh boy.  That's something that is not even on your radar.  You have absolutely no desire to be mobile, you're totally content to just sit.  And for now, I'm totally co
ntent with that too.  Eventually though, I hope to see you cruising around this joint and causing all sorts of trouble!

You are such a great eater! You've started eating little pieces of table food whenever we have meals and you are handling them so well! You're not nearly as picky as your brother and it's so nice to have a child that will actually eat food instead of putting it in his mouth and spitting it out.  In the eating department - you're definitely my favorite child!

I can't believe that you've been with us just as long as I was pregnant with you. You're growing up so fast little one.  And I'm loving having your in our family.

Love you bunches little boy!

Love, Mom
