David Days
Playing under the table.
"Aunt Kassie, could you call off the kid?"
Sam looks thrilled about computer time...
The new favorite game - for some reason, they both giggle insanely over just laying here like this

Happy 9 Month Birthday!
So, I've been lazy. Here's this month's photo - see previous post for last month's!
His whistling/shocked pose
Clothes: From 6-9 mos to 12-18 mos.
Foods: He eats great, but is a reformed lima bean lover. His new favorite is roasted root veggies (parsnips, carrots, beets, sweet potatoes). I'm not a fan of the resulting diapers, though. Chicken, beef, and turkey are also all delicious.
Words: He says Mama and Dada, and knows who we are. Words he uses consistently and correctly are Heh-duh (for Aunt Heather), Day! (for David), tickle, ickle, ickle, ickle...(for tickle), head, uh-oh, and hi-fi! (high five). A new one time only word of the month is "cat."
Milestones and Achievements: Sammy is now a speed crawler. Despite our attempts to prevent it, he can go up and down a single stair with ease, though this is quite dangerous as he goes down head-first. He pulls up on furniture and walks along it. He waves "hi" and "bye" and claps when you say "yay!" He also gives high fives and initiates this game on his own, raising his hand and saying "hi-fi!" When he wants kisses he makes kissy noises, and asks for tickles by saying "tickle, tickle, tickle!" He can finally put the blocks in David's giraffe toy (thanks, Grandpa!). When something is surprising or he is trying to get your attention, he makes his shocked face, which can sometimes be confused with his whistling face. Although he can't whistle, he tries (and sometimes vocalizes it instead). He loves other babies and is very friendly with strangers. He also spent his first evening with his Aunt Jenny and Uncle Ian this month! He still doesn't like grass, but we're working on it.

Happy 8 Month Birthday
Here is Sammy's monthly rocking chair shot! (And last month's)
Still only two teeth!
"I like it outside - but the hat, Mom..."
Standing!
This month we have some new milestones:
-Can pull to standing
-Can transport self FORWARDS - both lurching and through animatronic baby crawling
-Says Dada, Mama, and "mmmm!" for more. HAS said foot, up, down, play, and "Sssss" (Sam)
-Eats avocado, banana, applesauce, peaches, pears, blueberries, zucchini, mango, green beans, peas, prunes (sometimes necessary, yes), carrots, lima beans, and iron-fortified baby oatmeal! He also loves his Baby Mum-mum rice crackers
-He loves going out to play, and still loves Benny and David (and other babies - especially strange ones)
-He likes strangers and will smile and talk to most people he meets
-He shakes his head "no" when you try to wipe his face (he also shakes his head no because he knows people think its funny)
-He imitates faces - will raise his eyebrows and open his mouth if you do the same
-He only has two teeth currently, but he's really working hard for the others
-Still in some 6-9 months, and other 9-12 months, size 3 diapers - size 0-6 month shoes (he's never going to learn to walk on those little things!)
-He loves the swing at Grandma and Grandpa's house - especially when David is using the slide and talks to him!
-He loves "peanut butter" (when we smash the peanut - him)
-He hates the grass and contorts himself into fantastic yoga positions to avoid it
-When he is bored by a book or ready for bed he'll close it. If he's ready for bed he'll reach for Goodnight, Moon instead
