9 months

In all the chaos of Ty's thumb yesterday {see post below} I forgot to mention that Reid's check up was his 9 month check up.  He turned 9 months on March 7th. 
Reid is the cutest, sweetest, most pleasant baby ever.  He is such a joy.  
Reid at 9 months is...
20 pounds
27 inches long
Crawling, but still prefers the army crawl....it's much quicker.
Standing and climbing on everything.
He has 3 teeth {2 on bottom, 1 on top}  He is getting his lateral teeth on top first, instead of his front teeth.  One has come through already.  Soon he will look like a little vampire.
Eats anything and everything.
Can drink for a sippy cup by himself.
Will not take a bottle.
Sucks his thumb, but usually only when he is really tired.
Says "mama"  all the time {I love it, although I don't know if it is actually directed at me}
Sleeps great, and has 2 long naps everyday.
He is VERY active.  He will do circles in your arms.
Dressing him is tricky.  I imagine it is like as dressing a wild cat....he won't stop moving and rolling.
He is by far my most independent baby.  He prefers to play on the ground with his toys than be held.  It's kind of nice!!
He loves his brothers, they always are making him laugh.
How can anyone resist this sweet little face, and those big blue eyes.  I just want to kiss those checks so bad.
Look at me!!
9 months has zipped by WAY too fast.  Why do they have to grow up so fast?
