So here we are. 9 months old. It seems like just yesterday that we brought Ethan home, and now he's getting closer and closer to the big ONE! He has grown and developed so much in these last few months, and is hitting more milestones every day. He now has 2 bottom teeth (hence the title of this post), and more are on their way. He has perfected the art of speed crawling, and can even walk the length of the couch with one hand holding on. At this rate, he'll be walking before he hits 10 months! He is using all of this mobility to explore the living room (aka Alcatraz) and manages to find every thing that he shouldn't play with. Ethan loves to wait till Daddy isn't looking and pull his drinks off of the coffee table (always a treat).
He is really adapted well to the routines that we've set up for him. He sleeps 10-11 hours a night, and takes his 2 naps a day. Mommy and Daddy's sleep training really paid off, we now can put him in his crib awake, and he soothes himself to sleep (eventually). His eating however, has taken a turn for the picky. He still loves his fruit and cereal in the morning, he tolerates his veggies at lunch, but he hasn't taken a liking to meats for some reason. Perhaps he will do better when he gets a few more teeth and can chew food.
We all can't wait for summer to come. we've been stuck in the house all winter, and we are ready to show Ethan the outdoors and let him explore the world. It was 80 degrees today, and Ethan took his first ride in the stoller like a big boy without the car seat. Ever since he was born, the outdoors really soothes him. This is going to be a fun summer!
