9 months old!

I had my 9 month old well visit at the doctor today. I am now 19 pounds 11 ounces and 28 1/2 inches long. Mommy thinks I am actually 29 inches since they couldn't get a good measurement of me because I refuse to lay on my back and I was twisting around trying to sit up. I don't like to be constrained. They should know better by now. Mommy does and she has learned how to change me while I am standing up. She has talent. 

I went to Oregon and got to see grandparents and great-grandparents, great-aunts, great-uncles and cousins. It was pretty special to see my grandparents but also to see my great-grandma and grandpa. I am their first great-grandchild. 

Here I am with my grandparents

This is with my grandma and great-grandma


We went to a river. It was really windy but I was just hanging out. There was so much cool stuff to see.


Does my hair look okay?


It was a very fun trip. I even got to go swimming and I love to swim and splash in the water. I actually like flying more than I like driving. I hate my carseat and make it known to my parents that I do not want to be stuck in there. I do not like to be constrained. Just ask my mom. She has gotten to be an expert at changing my diaper while I am standing up. 



Can you see my teeth? I still only have two toofers right now, but it seems like my top two are going to come in next. 

We had fun on Memorial Day. All of the boys came over to my house to play. It was great! I tend to crawl on top of them though. But only because I love them.

Here we all are! Milo is keeping me contained so mommy can take the picture.

I don't know why my mom thinks these pictures are so funny. I was just trying to eat my lunch and all of a sudden she started taking pictures of me.

You want me to smile? I'd rather be eating my hot dog you know.


Oh. There is a hot dog behind my ear?  I wonder how that got there?

Is it okay if I just save it for a snack for later?

I clap with my hands open all the time now and I love to wave hi and bye to people! I am also a speed demon and like to play with everything. Mommy and daddy had to get serious about the baby proofing and put up a baby gate between the living room and dining room. I don't like that either. The living room isn't nearly big enough for me!
