So a while back (a week or so), TB turned nine months old. And right around this time- he changed! I mean really changed! Not just the wake up and wonder how much weight or how many inches he gained in his sleep sort of change, but the I can't believe you are my baby anymore change.
Here are some of the things TB now does regularly- as the new him.
Crawls on hands and knees- no more belly dragging for him. This new way is comparable to the speed of his belly dragging but much cleaner and seems to be easier for him.
Understands what "no" means- this, of course, does not mean that he listens. Usually it takes a few "nos" and often redirecting for him to stop the behavior- but he knows that he is disobeying at least.
Hates baby food- baby food is for babies and he is in NO way a baby. He weaned himself from breastfeeding and only eats a few bites of baby food. He loves to feed himself fistfuls of grown up food and has even begun to vocalize "ba" (bite) and "ba-ba" (bottle) to let us know what he wants.
Prewalking- TB had begun mild cruising on furniture before, but never took many steps at a time. Now he prefers to be upright and walking. If you hold his hands he will walk and practically run to get to things.
Plays with toys- although he still puts everything in his mouth, it as if he has discovered that toys can have a secondary purpose to chew toys. He has begun to show toy preference and wants to play alongside his sisters.
TB has 5 teeth with 2 more breaking through. He wears clothing from size 3 months (church pants) to 12 months (onesies). He hates to have clothes on, especially socks and shoes. He still loves electronics and is doing much better at leaving our electronics alone. He is growing up so quickly! I love my charming little boy!
