I'm 9 months old!

9 months old! We just can't believe it! Declan continues to grow and learn new things everyday. He's an expert at getting himself where he wants to go (not by crawling forward, but by spinning from his bum to his tummy back to his bum or crawling backwards). He's starting to successfully pull himself up on things and pull the photo albums off the shelves! He's even added some more food to his diet (refried beans and oatmeal). We just came back from the doctor (he got a clean bill of health) and he weighs 21 lbs 13 oz and is 29 1/4 inches long! She did say that he should be getting at least one 8 hour stretch of sleep...he gets about 3! We love when he chatters "mom mom" and "dad dad".

Bottom line, we think he's just awesome!
