9 Months

Dash-a-Dude is nine months old and in just the last month he has changed SOOO much! He is 19 pounds and while his cheeks make him look like a chunk, he is actually under the 40th percentile in weight for his age. He is still a good eater but has recently become much more opinionated about his food. He isn't a fan of bananas (go figure) and prefers finger food to pureed foods. At the table he says momma a lot but isn't referring to me, he is actually asking for more. His first tooth came in this past month on the bottom and a second is making its way in too. He is officially mobile. This of course changes life dramatically but it has been a lot of fun, especially for Josh who is ALWAYS wanting his brother to play with him. In just a few short weeks he went from army crawling to full out crawling and pulling up on everything in sight! He is still full of smiles but now he cocks his head to the side before grinning and it is absolutely irresistible. He is tough, easy going, and showing his opinions but above all he LOVES his brother.
