9 months

I'm 9 months old today!  I've officially been "out" as long as I was "in".  lol...

I'm crawling!!!  I'm new to the mobility world, so I'm not as speedy as I will be one day.  I'm working on my confidence and coordination.  I love the new freedom crawling brings.  I've also learned how to clap.  It's great fun!   I'm proud of my new skills. 

I now have 2 teeth!  I'm a drool monster too, so more probably aren't far off. 

I'm eating stage 2 baby food twice a day, with Puffs as a snack.  There are SO many food combinations with stage 2 foods.  Yummy, yummy, yummy!  Both rice and oatmeal cereal bother my tummy, in different ways.    The tummy doctor said I don't need to eat cereal since I'm not happy when I do, so Mommy isn't giving it to me.  I've tried drinking from a sippy cup once.  It was clear I'm not quite ready. 

I love to blow raspberries, scream, and mimic sounds.  I try to hold conversations with anyone who talks to me.

Hooray!  Today I am 4 years old.  We celebrated my birthday yesterday.  Daddy took the day off of work so the family could watch me at soccer camp.  Then we went to the new McDonald's for lunch.  Next, we went to swim at the pool.  We had pizza for dinner.  Grandma and Grandpa joined us.  We ended the celebration day by going to the concert at the park in Hawthorn Woods. What a great time! 

I'm doing really well.  I'm still a super sweet boy.  I'm courteous, and aware of other people's feelings.  I'm good at taking turns and sharing too. 

I'm an awesome eater and sleeper.  I still take a nap a few times a week and don't seem to mind taking the break from playing. 

I like to play with imaginext toys by fisher price and 100 piece puzzles.  My favorite characters remain as Woody and Buzz.  I also still love the Amazing Spiderman, but Batman and Superman have proved to be quite cool too. 

I can write my name decently these days.  I'm not too interested in writing many other letters, or numbers, or coloring either.  That's too much sitting still.  I'd much rather be moving. 

I start the 4 year old preschool class in a couple weeks.  I will go 3 days a week from 8am to 1pm.   I'm looking forward to it.
