9 Months And Counting

Mommy's little Frog Prince is not so little any more--but he gets cuter everyday!

Today he has officially been out in the world as long as it took him to grow in mommy's tummy. And he decided to celebrate that fact by clapping his hands and saying "yea" for the first time.

You can imagine my joy when he took me by surprise with that this morning!

At nine months he is pulling himself up, starting to "cruise" around the furniture, and can stand for long periods of time while he holds on to something.

He has 5 teeth and will eat any thing in sight. Not only is he ALWAYS hungry like his sister, we are having to give him table food to keep his belly full. Which of course makes him quite happy. Not "fat and happy" because while he continues to grow and is well proportioned he is not chubby. Well, except his cheeks. But that is a Miller thing. Poor Thomas has his Uncle Brian's chipmunk cheeks--but not as bad.

He says "hey," "hi," "mama," "dada," and now "yea!" We are waiting for some sort of word for Gracie to emerge soon.

I have to pry him out of the tub (mommy's big tub), because he loves the water so much. He will splash and splash and get himself in the face and hair, and doesn't care a bit. When he hears water running, he will get VERY excited. And, very disappointed when it isn't for him.

He is still crawling, and we have found that the military crawl was just because of the carpet (whew!). You get him on hard floors and he takes off like a normal baby. (I was really worried he might have problems putting weight on his arms or something)

Our bundle of joy is growing and growing, and we are glad that you are sharing his months in our lives with us.

I caught him clapping on camera! I couldn't get him to say "yea!" again, but he has plenty of laughs for you :)
