9 Months Today!

Today is the very last Friday the 13th of the year...and guess what? I'm 9 months old! Mommy said these 9 months flew by much faster than the 9 that I spent hanging out in her belly. In these months, alot has happened. I'm still growing and growing and still don't crawl. Its really frustrating me at this point. Its this one leg that just won't cooperate. I can't seem to get it to swing around right!! Arg. On the other hand, I am well on my way to becoming a master walker. I spend countless hours walking everywhere on a daily basis. Assisted of course, but walking nonetheless. In fact, just this very morning I was chasing my truck in Grandma's kitchen. I tend to get a little ahead of myself and try to run or lunge for things long before I actually get there. As you can see below, I am also working on some new teeth. I continue to practice my biting on Mommy's right shoulder and have managed to get several Oww's from her. heh heh. As for food...i'm eating all sorts of new things. Mango's are still one of my favorites, oh and add watermelon to that too...but I have also discovered ice cream and sherbert (thanks to my Grandma - Mommy's Mommy) and yogurt. Mmmm. I've also had english muffin, cheese, steamed carrots and green beans, tofu, pasta noodles, General Tso's sauce, some donut, chicken, cantelope, pear, peach, grapes, cottage cheese, pizza, a french fry, and i'm sure a few other things but this list is getting a little too long. I have a few favorites on TV that I absolutely get a kick out of. I love Kathy from the BBC news. She's a cute one and I watch her every afternoon with Grandma. I also love Nina from the Good Night Show. She really knows how to make me smile. The Backyardigan's intro song is one of the coolest songs I know, and when Mommy sings it for me I giggle. Oh, and I love Dora the Explorer and Go Diego Go. I especially love the part when the backpack comes on and sings. I have a couple other favorites as well...mainly I just love the songs at the beginning then I could care less. I am still pretty obsessed with the kitties who now hate me, and I got to play with my cousins Alex and Avery's new little puppy.. She licked my face!! OH and big news!! My Aunt Rachel is having a baby! I can't can't can't wait!!! Soon i'll have someone closer to MY age to play with!! Mommy said i'll be waiting until January. Sigh...thats just a little too far away and i'm rather impatient. Then, i'll have to wait for him or her to get a little bigger to play with. So if I do my calculations right, i'll be waiting about a year. This stinks. I guess in the meantime, I'll perfect my walking, talking and other skills, that way I can teach him or her when the time comes!

Happy 9 Month Birthday!! When your Mommy mentioned that being the same amount of time you hung out in her belly my Mommy got sad. She only just realized that!
And how lucky that you get ANOTHER Friday the 13th Birthday?!!
Sounds like you've been eating lots of cool stuff... isn't yogurt great? It's one of my favorites!
And the best part about being 9 months? No needles! They just weight you and poke at you and stuff. Speaking of I forgot to report in... I weigh 16lb 13oz. I'm just a little guy apparently. I am however 29" long...

HAPPY 9-MONTHS, DUDE!!! That's so cool that it fell on a Friday again, just like when you were born. I munch on my mommy's shoulder when I start to get hungry. The 'Rents still don't let me watch much TV. That's okay, I've been having fun chasing our kitties. I try to sneak up on them, but they're quick to get away before I can reach them. One of these days, I'll surprise them. That's cool that you're gonna have a new cousin in January. My cousins all live far far away in Michigan, but my mommy's best friends are having a baby boy in November. So, I'll be able to show him the ropes.

Hey, Coop, you're just lean'n'mean. You're still our front man. What new tricks have you got up your sleeve these days?
