Nine Months Old

It's hard to believe I am nine months old. I guess I'm old enough to eat the lollipop that Nonna and Papa got me for Easter!

I am talking more and more. I say mama, dada, baba and when mommy points to Charley I say something that sounds like "Dag". It might be mommy's imagination but we'll let her pretend that I really am saying dog.

I crawl around like crazy. I can stand up when holding on to furniture. Yesterday on my actual 9 month birthday I stood without holding on to anything for a few seconds and then I got scared.

I have two teeth! They finally came through a few weeks ago. Mommy and daddy were wondering if I was just going to be toothless forever.

I also like to wave hello and goodbye. But, I am going through a little stranger/separation anxiety which is normal so if I don't seem as friendly it's just because I am feeling a little shy.

The thing that mommy and daddy are most excited about is that I am finally sleeping in my crib. Daddy and I have a special routine when he gets home from work. He does a good job of putting me to sleep.

I can't wait for the summer!

Love, Oliver
