Walker is 9 Months Old

 Happy 9 Month Birthday to our sweet boy! Life is VERY busy with Walker these days.  He is in to EVERYTHING and on the move from the time he wakes up in the morning until he lays down at night.  He is the happiest little dude ever.  His smile and laugh are just too cute and just melt my heart. This month, Walker has started to let go while standing.  He's not quite ready to take those first steps but his balance is getting much better.  He is doing great walking behind his push toy walker.  He has 6 teeth now! Unbelievable!!! There are 4 on the top and 2 on the bottom.  I am thankful that they are in so hopefully the drooling will settle down a bit.  Sweet boy has some sensitive skin and the drool mixed with the cold weather make for a chapped little face.  He is still sleeping great....a 30-45 minute nap in the morning, a 2-3 hour nap in the afternoon, and then 7pm-730am! I am beyond thankful for good sleepers! He takes 4 6oz bottles a day and eats a jar of baby food at lunch and at dinner time.  He is loving the chicken and apple combo which makes me want to throw up...it smells so terrible, but I am glad he likes it.  He loves his puffs and Mum Mums! I am about to move him up to size 3 diapers once we use up the rest of the size 2 box. It makes me sad to see how fast he is growing, but it is super exciting and fun at the same time. He is wearing 6 month clothes still and a size 1 shoe.  One of Walker's favorite things to play with would be the shoe laces on his church shoes.  He is also a big fan of the screws from the Melissa and Doug wooden tool set. He loves to be outside and he loves any type of riding toy. He says "DaDa" ALL THE TIME,  "Mama" and "YaYa" when he wants Ella Kate.  EK and Walker are still the best of buds.  She is all over him.  It will be nice when he is a little bigger and can hold his own a little more. :)  I just can't believe we are on the 3 month countdown to the 1st birthday! Slow Down!!!!!
