Sorry Bugs, this is a little late. But as with most things in life, better late than never!

Last week your were 9 months old. In true mommy fashion, I am not quite sure where the time has gone. You continue to rock our world each and every day!

You have developed quite the little personality this past month. You like to speak your peace, and have it heard loud and clear. You have learned some pretty fun tricks too! You are always willing to preform if it gets you the attention that you want. You can cluck, do "so big" with your arms, you give great hi 5's and have mastered the art of fake coughing. You are a genius, I tell you! You must get that from your father.

On the other hand you have become quite the needy momma's boy. Not quite sure if it's those four teeth that are trying to make their appearance or just a special treat for mommy. You rarely want to be put down, yet being held you are constantly pushing away. I have a feeling you will be much happier once you can get those arms and legs to work together to get you moving. I am perfectly content with having you stay in the same place I put you down. As for sleep, well, I am just not going to go there. All I will say is that it better change fast!

You love to eat and have quickly figured out what comes in those little paper bags at the coffee shop. We have yet to find anything that you don't like. Your favorites are bananas, steamed carrots and broccoli and yogurt. Although you went on a "nursing strike" for a few days you so kindly changed your mind and are back to nursing 4 times a day.

Alex, you amaze us every day with how quickly you are growing and changing. These have been the most amazing 9 months and it only makes us more excited to continue to watch you grow! We love you!
