9 months already?

I know I say this every month, but I really cannot believe you are already 9 months!
You HAVE to stop growing so fast, Riley! I've already forgotten what it was like when you
used to put your head on my shoulder & sleep so peacefully.
It seems like yesterday that we were walking around at all hours of the night
with you while you cried & cried through the colicky stage.
I haven't forgotten that! :)

You are FULL of energy now and starting to show signs of wanting to crawl!
You have definitely started to develop a little personality of your own and
you know what you like & don't like already.
Not sure how much longer we'll be able to do baby food.
You are definitely happier eating table food!
Already such a BIG boy! :)

You can clap your hands now and love to put any & everything
in your mouth!


You just get sweeter with each passing day.
You love to watch your brother and laugh and laugh at him
whenever he plays peek-a-boo with you!

You absolutely LOVE . TO. ROLL! I can't get you to stop rolling!
You roll any & every time you get a chance...
on the floor, changing a diaper, changing your clothes, in my lap,
the list goes on!

You are such a happy baby and smile ALL THE TIME!!
You love the grocery cart, being in mommy's arms, and riding
in the car with your brother.


You HATE for your diaper to be changed and can't stand for me to lay
you down on the changing table! I almost have to pin you down to put clothes
on you! You're a stinker! I LOVE you to pieces!

I . LOVE . THIS . FACE !!!!
I came up with a little acronym to describe our 9 month old...

Roley poley
Into all kinds of things
Love bug
Eyelashes to die for
You have your mommy's heart

You are a precious gem of a baby, Riley.
I love going into your room to get you up from naps and in the morning.
I love seeing your sweet face looking up at me in the crib.
I love giving you bottles and cuddling with you at night before you go to bed.
I love the way you grab my face and hold it so tight.
I love how you already love your brother and want to be near him.
I love how you're already trying to play with big trucks like you're a BIG boy.
I love hearing your sweet baby talk... "ba-ba, ga-ga, da-da." It melts my heart.
I love you to the moon & back and am so in love with that little face of yours!

I wish I could freeze you in time and just enjoy this baby stage for a little while longer.
You are a joy & even though I love the baby stage, I can't wait to see what
you'll do next & surprise us with!

Happy 9 months Riley!
We adore you!
