9 Months Old and Climbing

Caden turned 9 months yesterday...I just can't believe it. I would've posted yesterday, but I was up late (11:00 - to me that's late) working on my cut-out "flour" cookies (they were so sticky I added a ton of flour - my family will still eat them :). Anyhow...we discovered that Caden knew how to climb the stairs last Wed. How did he know he could do this? Sorry some pictures are on their sides, not sure why that is. He has a Dr. appt. later today, and if I recall correctly, it's without shots! Yeah! I'll post his stats later.

Sometimes he needs something to climb after.

He loves crawling around with something in his hands. He especially loves the pieces to a puzzle from a friend, Andrea, at school. The knobs are just the right size for his little hands.



Other fun things about Caden at 9 months:

*He has 5 teeth...that 6th one just doesn't want to push through yet.

*He doesn't quite understand the concept that if he's holding something in his hand, he can't reach for something else and still keep ahold of that first item.

*He knows that if he can't crawl with something in his hand, he can put it in his mouth and crawl.

*He actually doesn't bother the Christmas tree like I thought he would. He'll sometimes try to eat it, but at least doesn't try to stand using it.

*He loves to take laps doing a side-step around the coffee table.
