9 Months

Austin is nine months old. I feel sad when by babes turn nine months old...I feel like they aren't officially a "baby" anymore. Austin has now been out of me longer than he was in me, and that means he is getting old. I wish I could freeze this moment in time forever.

 

At nine months Austin:
*loves to laugh
*loves to eat
*has 6 teeth and cutting 2 more on the bottom right now, for a total of 8. He only had his 2 bottom teeth when he was 6 months old, and somehow just exploded with teeth sometime between then and now
*loves to clap his hands
*when on his belly he pushes himself backwards. He gets frustrated because he sees something he wants  but ends up pushing himself under the couch
*gets on all fours and rocks
*today he took his first 3 crawls. Noooooooo!!!! Life is easier when a baby isn't mobile
*loves to play peek a boo.  His favorite is to hold a little blanket over his face and then pull it away
*talks and babbles all day long, and I love it

 

Audrey took this picture.  Hello eyelashes. Sure didn't get them from me.

 

I don't have any red couch pictures from when Austin was 8 months old, or 7 months old either. We were in the middle of moving and living with people, so we didn't even have the red couch.
