9 months


Incredibly, Blake turned 9 months old on Saturday!
We had his well check this week & he's long & lean. He weighs in just shy of 20 lbs & is 29.7" tall!
He crawls super fast, with authority (& usually with a cup in each hand, accentuating each movement with a bang on the hardwood floor). He stands up on everything & is starting to move around along the furniture.

Favorites:
  • bath time (or pool time in the backyard) -- he plays until he's a prune or until he gets in trouble for standing up in the tub.
  • New nickname: Captain Black Bean! A favorite food & also often attire.
  • Raspberries are another favorite -- eating & blowing them.
  • hollering loudly, at his toys, in his pool, trying out new sounds. Da-da-da, ma-ma-ma, ya-ya-ya, ba-ba-ba, la-la-la!
  • he hangs on now, very helpful when he's balanced on your hip
  • reaches for people, momma & daddy especially
  • first bouts of separation anxiety(not so fun...sometimes he only wants momma)
