Where is time going?
* saying mama now. i know he doesnt know that i'm mama, but it's still fun to hear him say it.
*mastering his previous army crawl. he now alternates his weight from leg to leg but he wont get up onto his hands. he just uses his forearms. we had to block the entry to the kitchen because he constantly crawls over to the dog bowl to play in the water. yucky we say but he just laughs.
* he has started attempting to stand up. he can get himself up onto his knees (holding onto something of course) and he can stand against things for a few minutes at a time. this all started over the span of a week.
*he certainly makes his feelings known now. if you take a toy away or he wants to be held for any reason, he will cry. before his cries were from hunger or sleepiness....his personality is showing up more each day.
*he has 4 total teeth (top/bottom front 2) with what looks like more arriving very soon. his teething routine seems to be a few nights of whining and a bit more napping. not too bad so far. wait, i better knock on wood. we are just starting this journey. i've heard that molars are a bitch!
*he got sick for the 1st time this month. it all started the day we went to Target to get his Christmas photos taken. we had to re-schedule because he got a fever in the store! that was followed by 3-4 days of fevers and a sad Rhys. we treated the fevers and gave him lots of extra love. we came through it with no scars. just another notch in the ol parenting belt;)
*speaking of pictures...after we re-scheduled from him being sick, it was no better! we only got 3 usable images. he was not feeling the photographer at all! i was irritated that we drove all the way to Polaris but oh well. we got a pic good enough for the xmas card and thats all that mattered in the end.

9 months old!!!!
He's quite the mobile little man these days......
* "army" crawling everywhere. he just drags his little legs behind him....and like with the rolling....he's so fast. we've started to keep Luke out of the room when he's on the ground. we trust him but he's still a dog and we're not taking any chances. dont worry though, he gets plenty of attention!
* he's started following our hands when we point at things.
*he's VERY vocal! making loud noises and shrieking his little heart out. especially when mommy is on the phone! it's like he knows i cant hear a thing. the sound of his voice is the most beautiful thing in the world. i cant wait until he can talk.
* he splish splashes like a mad man during his baths now. it's gotten to the point that we have to put extra towels down on the floor and hold one up as a shield for ourselves. i cant wait until this summer in the pool or to see how he reacts to the water down in Florida! it's going to be so much fun watching him discover.
*this month he got a terrible yeast infection. we tried to treat it on our own but ended up taking him to the doctor. he never acted like it was painful but it was getting out of control. with the Rx they gave us, it was cleared up in a matter of days. thank God.
* he was a bunny for Halloween. the cutest damn thing i've ever seen! we took some photos with the rents here at the house and then drove in the rain/traffic out to Alexandria to trick or treat with Miss Adeline (who was a super cute Eskimo). another thing to be excited for is next Halloween when he has more of an idea about whats going on. it was fun nonetheless :)
* we've introduced a lot more texture and even puffs! he's got the pincher grab down and is starting to feed himself! so much independence.....i'm scared that i'm going to wake up tomorrow and he'll be leaving for college :(

8 months old!!!!
He's really coming into his own. So much personality!
*eating a lot more textured foods. it seems like the puree phase is quickly passing us by.
*says DADA!
* has been rolling over on his tummy while sleeping....he cant figure out how to turn back over so he cries until mommy or daddy come in and roll him back over. hehe. it's kind of annoying but so cute! we could never be mad at that face :)
*9/30/12 he went down for an afternoon nap and woke up with 2 tiny little spikes of his bottom front teeth poking through!!! oh my gosh, my baby is turning into a big boy before my eyes!
* he's rolling all over the place! he's mastered the art of the roll....he's so fast! he zooms across the floor, spins himself in a different direction and then zooms some more.
* he's finally started to reach for us. it melts my heart when i reach down to get him and his arms come up....or even better, when daddy is holding him and he motions for mommy. hehe
Life is so wonderful!
