you learned to play peek-a-boo by covering your face with your blankie then pulling i down with a huge grin across your face and waiting for me to cheer. I love it.
You also went on your first bike ride. You've got some adjusting to do with your helmet.
love you. mommy

9 months old
This past month you've continued to grow and 'catch-up' if you will from your little bout of pneumonia.
9 months brought on 2 more teeth (totaling 5). This was tricky and hard to see you go through, but you're still so happy and content the majority of the time, and this gives us a very clear indicator of when you need some help managing your pain.
Your dad figured out that your crib could hold both his weight and yours, and I walked in to find you two this way after you woke up from a nap. Since then I find you two in here randomly, at one point your daddy had fallen asleep and you were just babbling away to him and touching his face; I found you two like that when I couldn't find you anywhere else.
We went on our first family spring walk and what a difference the time has made, you are now so intrigued by your surroundings during a walk, you rarely fall asleep and just glance around to take it all in. Even when we're holding you ow, you'll jerk and try and get around us to see everything that is going on.
Your crawling ha improved rapidly, you went from rolling in a funny way-kind of angled to get to a specific toy/goal. To pushing yourself backwards and forwards more and more and starting to push up on all fours. You also started leaning on our chests and the pushing yourself up with your legs.
We went an house-sat/teen-sat for some friends of ours and we had an awesome week of visiting while the kids were at school and just hanging out with the teens. Everyone loved snuggling you and you adjusted so very well to your surroundings and were amazing all week long. I know your daddy missed us both very much and we skyped him as much as we could during that week.
We got to go out for lunch with your grandpa and zaidie and Lori, again you were amazing and mommy and daddy probably overwhelmed you with the amount of toys we gave you to keep you entertained, when in truth you just wanted to glance around and take it all in. You had your first tastes of challah bread and matza ball soup at the center street deli.
You have this new thing where when you get excited your legs go straight and rigid, you push up if possible and flail your arms with the biggest grin in the world across your face. We love getting you excited just to see it. Sometimes daddy will mimic it and then you both keep each other going, what a sight to behold.
We celebrated your first passover during this month as well. I can't wait for you to fully grasp the meaning of both of these holidays and become an active participant in the rich traditions of our heritage.
You my little boy also grew like a weed, and are now for the very first time on the growth chart the doctor's. You were just under 17lbs at your 9 month check-up and we got the go-ahead to not see the doctor again until 12 months. What a relief!
we love you so much
