9 months

I'm a week late for Allen's 9 month birthday, but with it being the end of my summer semester, this is the first moment I've had to even think about updating the blog. Allen has changed a TON over the last month! I added a few posts along the way so I wouldn't forget some of the major stuff. Here are some things Allen is doing now and some fun pics:

-30inches long (90%) and 22lbs (75%) Dr. Rosen: "I don't care what anyone tells you, he is not overweight." haha
-loves flipping the light switches
-has fun watching the fireworks and celebrating the 4th
-thinks its so funny to try and poke his paci in my mouth
-loves to eat and take a bath (not as fond of taking naps)
-crawls and pulls up easily on just about anything
-voices discontent and frustration
-loves his new firetruck toy, books, and the playzone (in pics)
-points alot!
-likes to touch my nose
-started really crawling during the world cup finals
-wants to be with us all the time (just the past few days)
-had his first ear infection and medicine
-doesn't like staying still to get his diaper changed
-talking alot but no "real" words yet (possibilities for the first word: mama, dada, nose, nana, done)
-has had lots of fun staying with Gigi, Grandad, Aunt Jill, Aunt Diana, Alyssa, & Kayla
-gets into everything
-had fun with Aunt Sue, Uncle Ellis, and Aunt Judy during their visit to Dallas


I came out of the room and this is what I found! :)


Allen and baby cousin Nathan


Buddies- Allen and Andrew

Why sit when I can stand? (and chew on the side)

I love his feet! Especially when he puts them together right before he takes off :)

A little bit of spoiling with Aunts Sue and Judy

Why nap when I can stand?

9 months

I'm so big!

I should stand instead of sit on the couch.

My beautiful boy!

Sweet smiles even with an ear infection and fever!

Summer fun!
