Happy 9 Months, Beckett!!!

I can't believe my baby boy is 9 months old today!

This fabulous picture was taken this afternoon by our dear friend, Kristen, who has come to stay with us for the summer.

I see a lot of other people do this on their blogs, so I'm going to do it, too:

At 9 months old, Beckett...

-smiles, laughs, babbles, says "ma ma ma ma" and "da da da;"

-doesn't crawl yet, but slithers and rolls ALL OVER the floor;

-can push his butt WAY up in the air in a push-up;

-has his bottom 2 front teeth, and should have his top 2 front teeth in the next week;

-is still a mama's boy;

-LOVES food of any kind, especially Cheerios,
and shoves as many as he can in his mouth at once;

-still puts himself to sleep, and sleeps about 12 hours straight each night;

-puts everything possible in his mouth, even if it doesn't quite fit;

-makes us all smile and laugh on a daily basis;

-loves to bang toys together, and watch his older brother in motion;

-is NOT allergic to any foods! Hooray!;

-gets visibly excited when he sees his Farm Animal book or the Ladybug book, or mom;

-prefers standing to sitting;

-is basically the cutest kid on the planet, in every sense of the word. He's just so happy! And smiley!

We LOVE our Beckett-Man. :)
