9 Months

Here were are at nine months old!  The past four weeks have been all about moving and pulling up.  Jonathan has changed from a scooter to a crawler and from a tummy boy to a standing boy.  It's so fun to watch, and be ready to save him at all times, of course.  Jonathan loves standing at the window, dishwasher, art easel, freezer, little table, and my legs.  Other favorites from this past month include laughing with Forrest and grabbing whatever Charlotte has.  Yes, he loves his brother and sister.

Besides gaining motor skills, Jonathan's language skills are expanding.  He has gotten great at babbling, and he has his first words!  What a thrilled mama I am!  He says mama (mamama) and no (nahnahnah).  I think he also might say done, but I'm not sure just yet. 

Yes, we continue to enjoy our time with this growing baby (21 pounds now!), and he seems to enjoy what we are doing, too.  All of us have been having fun playing in our little pool, in the sprinkler, walking the neighborhood, and digging in the sandbox.  We love summer!
