Happy 9 Monthaversary Bub!

June 16th, 2008

Right now, as I type, Zibby is giving Henry his “kitty petting lessons”. This involves a stuffed animal kitty and demonstrations of gentle petting. Its super cute. She told us that she cant wait to teach Bub everything she knows.

So, my sweet baby Henry is 9 months old. He gave me a kiss the other night, on our campout. I was standing him up in my lap, and he leaned over into my cheek and smacked his lips on me. Awww. He is 20.5 lbs and wears 18 mos/24 mos clothes. He can pull up on things, and cruise a little. He has two teeth on teh bottom and 2 just came thru on the top. He has red hair that curls up when sweaty. He is super chill and is happy to hang out on the floor, playing with whatever is within reach.

He is distracted while nursing in teh daytime, but at home or at night nurses great. He sleeps a lot, still. He takes 2 good naps, and sleeps all night with us, nursing but not really waking. He loves the sling, he is in awe of Zibby and is delighted by Papa. He makes lots of happy noises and rarely cries.

He likes veggie booty and guacamole and pretzle sticks. He wants to eat, but doesnt swallow much. He likes to bang stuff with his hand. I catch maybe half his eliminations, his signals are hard for me to read. He is super smiley and cute. He is a blessing and a joy. We love him like crazy.

Happy 9 monthaversary Bub!
