Camera is still broken. This is the most recent picture I have of Max. It is obviously cropped from a huge family picture. I'll probably post the whole picture soon in another blog.
It just seems so crazy that my little boy is 9 months old now. He learned how to do a lot this month, and he is getting in to trouble all the time. We had to bring out the big guns with childproofing, and now it's hard getting around my house with all the gates (there are really only two, but it feels like a lot!).
This past month Max:
-Started sleeping through the night!!! It took a couple rough nights of letting him get used to falling back to sleep on his own, but now he always goes to bed at 7:30 and wakes up around 6 or 6:30.
-Cruised around the room using furniture before he started to crawl. I thought he might go straight to walking.
-Started to crawl with his belly off the ground. He's so fast!
-Cut FIVE teeth. He now has a total of seven.
-Learned to climb up the stairs.
- Started standing on his own for a few seconds.
- Made lots of cute noises. He finally makes "mama" sounds, but I don't think he applies them to me. He also loves to yell while covering and uncovering his mouth because it makes a funny noise.
- Took swimming lessons and loved the water. It was so cute to watch him splash around, and he really looks like he's about to swim away when he's in the pool.
- Started initiating peek-a-boo. One day, he took off his bib, covered his face, then uncovered it really fast, and laughed. Now he plays peek-a-boo all the time.
- Developed a talent for finding any cupboard that isn't locked.
He is such a wonderful little guy, and I just love seeing his personality develop every day.

Wow! That was a seriously busy month! What a cute little guy!
happy 9 months max!
So fun! Those security gates make for great inner-thigh workouts!
I remember babyproofing! Now I don't even notice the hurdles, latches, etc. He's becoming a little explorer now! How fun!
