Leo is 9 Months Old

My little buddy is already 9 months old!  He's turning into such a little person.  Let me list his latest accomplishments:

• clapping
• signing more
• standing up on everything and transferring from close pieces of furniture
• standing on his own for just a second if he lets go

Leo- buddy, you eat pretty much anything you're given (your current favorites are black beans, quinoa, tomatoes, blueberries, strawberries, salmon, tuna, cheese, and let's not forget about puffs).  You prefer to feed yourself than be spoon fed.  In fact, you often stuff so much food in your mouth at a time I have to scoop some out.

You are FAST!   This really concerns Maya because she likes to set up her doll house people in complicated ways and if you even glance her way or try to stroll by she really lets you have it.  This is a shame because you are sensitive and when she yells you cry really hard (we are working on this with Maya).  You are easy going- one morning I had to wake you from your nap to go to one of Maya's activities and you woke up and started clapping!  You love to be out and about and happily crawl among other children!  You seem to enjoy baby wearing, which is great for Mommy because that makes you portable!

Happy 9 months buddy!
