Nine Months Old

I can't believe that my little man is already 9 months old!!!!  He is growing up so fast and he is absolutely getting into everything.  He is the most handsome little man I have ever seen!  When he smiles at me, it just warms my whole heart...he has a million dollar smile just like his sister Gracie!  Hayden has a sweet, angelic smile...Gracie and Colton have really big smiles, the kind where they show all of their teeth off!  Colton isn't a fan of Dr. Beeber yet but he did good yesterday.  He was 21lbs 8oz and 29 inches long, which translates into 90th percentile for height and 80th percentile for weight.  So he is slimming up a little bit, well everything except his super chubby legs!   He is crawling all over the place and pulling up on EVERYTHING and I do mean EVERYTHING, even stuff that he shouldn't and then it falls onto of him.  I am pretty sure he is going to be a rough little boy, but that is what boys are supposed to be.Right?  He also chases his sisters around the house, you should see how fast he can crawl after them.  Then Hayden either carries him back to his little play area or she sits him outside the bedroom and closes the door in his sweet face!  He then sits there and cries his little heart out, pretty much breaks my heart but he really doesn't need to be in their room...they have way to much little stuff to choke on.   He loves his sisters and thinks they are very funny girls, I love to hear him laugh at them especially in the car.  He was perfect for his check up and he got his little finger pricked and he didn't even flinch or cry.  I don't even think he noticed at all!  He did try to eat the band aid, so we had to take it off.  Whatever they check when they do that was perfect too and he didn't have to have any shots this time.   I don't think it will be too much longer before he starts figuring out how to walk...he already walks  around the fireplace and last night he stood alone for about 3 seconds.  Not sure if he meant to but it still counts.  Oh and Dr. Beeber said that he is like a tank...he runs his head into everything before he tries to pull up on it...I thought it was funny because that it what Mark calls him too!  We sure do love our little man!!!!

Now I guess I have to start planning his tractor birthday party for May!  It will be here before I know it.  When we left Dr. Beeber's office yesterday he told us that he would see us again at 1!  Wow!  I am going to have fun too because I have found lots of amazing ideas and one really awesome cake!  I thought it would be hard planning for a boy, since well lets face it...I am very girly and I love pink and purple..but its not I can't wait and Mark can't either, finally some dirt and tractors for him too!
