you need to stop growing NOW! This last month of your life has literally flown by. I could swear that you just turned 9 months yesterday & here you are, 2 months away from 1 year old.
*sigh*
Momma can not believe how much have you have changed in just the last few weeks. Your top teeth FINALLY came in & you have a seriously adorable gap tooth grin going on right now. Your peace with teething lasted about a week. We're pretty sure you've officially started teething again. Oi! If these next teeth take as long to come in as those top two did we are in for a world of trouble.
If it's possible (& it must be) you have become even more of a wild child this past month. You are pulling up on anything & everything with no hesitation. And you have finally figured out how to consistently get down safely without falling on your butt. You have been very methodical in this process & I am glad that you seem to "think" things through before doing them. You have also learned that the edge of the bed is dangerous. You used to crawl right up to the edge before & have to be caught before you went crawling straight off, now you stop & sit down when you reach the edge whining until someone puts you down on the ground. 
This month you started waving with purpose & wave to just about anything & anyone who seems interesting. Your favorite person to wave to is the dog. Every morning when we come downstairs you wave to him. He is still the most exciting animal you have yet to encounter & you LOVE animals. Dogs are still definitely your favorite, but any animal will do.You have also recently started pointing to things that you want or find interesting. It's a good thing too, because although Momma has continued to work with you on baby sign you ARE NOT having it. I'll keep trying anyways.
As you can see from the pictures adorning this post, you are not a huge fan of sitting still. This month's picture was a lot of work for your Momma! I can only imagine how much harder it's going to be to get you to sit still next month. You've started to cruise a lot more & you LOVE being walked around with Momma holding onto your hands.
You aren't really experiencing any separation anxiety yet & Momma is hoping that we missed this milestone. Although, you have decided that you enjoy cuddling with us again. You also enjoy giving us snuggles & kisses! Momma is NOT going to complain about getting the chance to rock you to sleep again on occasion.
You are also back to talking up a storm. Lots of Mama (with purpose), Dada (with purpose), Baba, Nana, GooGooGooGoo, Yaya, & other strange babblings. You also love sticking out your tongue & blowing raspberries. And you are able to start following simple instructions. Although, you LOVE to test us. You want to see just how serious we really are when we tell you that something is off limits.
You are still a total water baby & love your bath. You will now crawl into the bathroom anytime of day, stand up on the tub & demand loudly to go in. I think you would live in the tub if we let you! Unfortunately, you've also started trying to stand up in the tub & this is one rule that Momma will be enforcing. At least you seem to listen in this case when I tell you to sit down. =)
You remain the happy little man that we all know & love. You still charm everyone you meet with your smile & friendliness. Your daddy & I love you so much! You are such a fun kid & we can't wait to see what the next month holds in store for all of us.
Love,
Your Momma
