Boy, I just thought the last few months were hard to get pics of this kiddo.  He definitely wasn't sitting still for this month's pics.  He is on the move AT ALL TIMES!  If he's not crawling at a high rate of speed, he's pulling up on anything and everything and walking along the furniture.  He even moves all around his crib at night!  He uses every inch of that crib.  He's a mover!  He's not walking on his own yet, but I have a feeling by the 10 month post, he will be walking or at least very close to it!  We are definitely going to have our hands full then. 

He would push this thing all day, every day if he didn't run into toys or furniture.

I don't have 9 month stats yet, but we have a doctor appointment Friday, so I'll post about that later.  My guess...21lbs and 31in.  He's scheduled to get 3 shots at this apointment...BOO!  Hopefully they go as well as his 6 month shots.  I feel like since he's on the move so much, he will work that soreness out pretty quick.  Time will tell. 

Harrison still just has his 2 bottom teeth.  I keep thinking 1 or 2 top ones will pop through, but they haven't yet.  Even though he just has those 2 little teeth, we have been giving him more and more finger foods and letting him taste more table foods.  He LOVES his wagon wheels, puffs, yogurt melts, and rice rusks.  He enjoys little tastes of mac & cheese, cheerios, pancakes, rice, canteloupe, baked potato, shredded cheese, cake, icing, etc.  He will pretty much eat anything we give him!

Harrison is officially OFF the bottle and on a sippy cup!
He is ALL BOY!  And, a wild one at that! 
He still loves his baths.
He loves being outside!
He shakes his head "no."  Although I don't think he really connects it with the word. 
He plays "catch" minus the catching...haha!  He throws a ball back and forth with Tim and I. 
He waves and claps, but not on cue. 
He makes a clicking noise using his tongue and roof of his mouth. 
He blows raspberries.
He loves looking at books and having them read to him. 
He's becoming more and more vocal.  He babbles and makes noises all the time. 
He gives himself kisses in the mirror and kisses his toys. 
His socks are still a necessity when he's sleeping, but not as much during the day.
He watches Sesame Street, Mickey, and other cartoons.  Anything with lots of music.
For the most part, he's pretty content when we are out to eat or running errands. He just sits in the high chair, stroller, or shopping cart and takes in his surroundings. He's pretty nosey (I think he gets that from me), so he is easily entertained when we are out and about.
He LOVES his snuggle spot.  He watches TV in it, drinks his milk in it, and just hangs out in it. 



I'd say Harrison is at my favorite stage so far!  His personality is really starting to show.  He's so curious about everything, and he's all over the place.  It's just so entertaining to watch him explore and play.  If 9 months old is fun, I'm excited to see what the the future holds for our little man!
