Well I really have been neglectful of blogging and totally missed a 8month update so I will just meld it in with the 9month one and call it a day.
Shortly after hitting 8m James started crawling. He waited until he could do the traditional hands/knees crawling before moving much. He did a little scooching here/there between 7 and 8m. He is now an adept crawler and gets to where he wants to go in a hurry. Since he's mastered crawling he is now working on standing, and lordhelpus walking will be next. He can stand for a second or two without holding something. Sigh. My house is not baby proofed yet.
We went for his 9m checkup, he is healthy lol. Weighed in at 23lb4oz and just a touch over 29in and his head is now 18in. All good sizes apparently.
He has two bottom teeth and is working hard on cutting his top ones. You can just see the right top tooth cutting through the gum line, and I'm certain lefty is close behind.
James looooooves bath time now, although we've still been using the sink but I think it's time to move to the big bath! He has begun to hate having his diaper changed, mostly because he just has too much to do and doesn't want to stop exploring. He talks a ton, it seems he has his own little language. He is starting to say mama and dada when he's upset and wants us but it's not always to the correct parent.He is eating like a champ and loves food. Between me/Dan there's no big surprise there! He is getting really skilled at self-feeding too. We give him big slices of things and he just chows down.
