It Wasn't Christmas but it was close

Nine Months Old!
My dearest baby,
You are nine months old!!! You have officially spent as much time out of the womb as you did in. So last night I was rocking you in your chair and you were all adorable and sleeping and because you were actually still for a moment I got to really see how big you have gotten. You are literally three times bigger than when you were born and three times cuter.
What’s new this month?
• Your hair is starting to get a slight curl in the back and it has gotten darker.
• Sadly, your little turkey legs are starting to slim down now that you are full blown crawling.
• You are crawling EVERYWHERE!
• You “talk” to us now. Before it was repeated goos and mostly screams, but now it is your own version of Ewok. It’s nice to actually have a back and forth conversation during the day with you. Plus, it is seriously the cutest thing you have done thus far besides giggling.
• Getting you to laugh doesn’t take a full blown comedy act anymore.
• You can pull yourself up on all the furniture
• Your hand control is pretty much spot on at this point (Great for future video game playing if it were up to Dad)
• You are still only working with two teeth though – no progress there
• You can pull yourself up in your crib – it’s the getting down part that has yet to be mastered
• You do this tri-pod thing with your hands and feet. I think that you think that it is the next step to this whole walking thing you are so desperate to partake in
Likes:
Mommy -You reach out for me now and want to be with me ALL the time and it really does wonders for my ego (but is killing my back). I’m pushing REALLY hard for Momma to be your first word.
Daddy – When he gets home you get this giant smile on your face and reach for him. It’s beyond adorable. You are still tolerating his Star Wars role playing for reasons I don’t understand.
Standing! ALL THE TIME! Next to the TV stand, in your crib, next to the couch, everywhere!
Reading. You LOVE to read. You will sit for up to a half an hour and just read books – you even turn the pages now. How precious is that!
“Walking” – if I would, you would be perfectly content doing this all day long
Standing on the window sill and looking at the cars and people.
Your carseat. If we time it right, you will sleep from point A to point B – sometimes an hour and a half
The jumperoo – you get some major air these days
Putting anything you can get into your mouth – even dust bunnies.
Pulling all Dad’s games off the shelf one by one.
Standing next to your exersaucer and toy table - you won’t be caught in the exersaucer for more than a few minutes now but you like to crawl underneath it and let me spin you.
Being on Daddy and my shoulders – the view really is better up there…ha ha
Anything that makes noise or that you can bang and make noise
Chewing – again…on anything you can get
When I eat you and your delicious cheeks
Getting into anything that you shouldn’t be getting into
My computer mouse – but not as much as when I leave it plugged in and the laser stays on
Typing long emails to Dad
Ripping paper into tiny tiny shreads – newspapers are your favorite
Peek a boo – but you want to put the blanket on her yourself and take it off yourself
Any funny noise is just hilarious to you- snorts, breathing through my nose, piggy noises
Dislikes:
Eating solids – you are getting a little better but still nothing to write home about
When people get too close to your face and talk loud – it freaks you out
Dry skin – Mom has to put this Vaseline stuff on your cheeks and then you usually “share” on purpose
That Anakin won’t you eat his tail – One day Anakin, One day….
Being left in a room alone
Any kind of juice – What kid doesn’t like juice?
The sippy cup – just not having it
Being told No – but really who does?
Sitting still for longer than a second
Being in the car awake – it bores you
Holding up your own bottle – you can’t be bothered
I LOVE MORE THAN YOU CAN EVER IMAGINE!!!

Daddy Post
Dear Jub Jub,
You have gone forward by leaps and bounds this past month. Nine months old and you are full on crawling. It was like this cool overnight transition too. One day you could only rock back and forth, now you are trucking across the apartment. Full on consonant talking has commenced (mom and I are both anticipating those first words). You hold conversations with your mom and me about topics such as global politics. Your views on the health care reform are fairly insightful. However, when you used your Elmo phone to call in a hit the other day, I began to question letting you see Godfather. It’s just such a great movie. Almost everything you get your hands on goes into your mouth (i.e. 360 controllers, TV remotes, the dog’s tail). The exception is food. You’d swear it was unsweetened grapefruit we were feeding you if you look at the pictures. You laugh and smile all the time which is lots of fun – even though you only laugh at Mom. I think that is because she can do those high pitched voices that I can’t. Soon you will be able to grasp my brand of bitter sarcasm, fart jokes, and keen ability to mock others. Look forward to snuggling up with you, mom, and a good movie on the upcoming January nights. The 6th is you mothers birthday, so do me a favor and find out what she wants. Be subtle though, act cool, confuse her with double meaning and innuendo…like I taught you.
Love,
Dad

8 month Daddy Post (again... forgot to post)
Dear Jub Jub,
You are eight months old. You are talking more now and that is cool. Lots of gooooooooos and aaaaahhhhhs. You are working on the crawling thing. Unfortunately, you didn’t make your Thanksgiving deadline but that’s cool you’ll master it soon. It is a lot of fun to see you rock back and forth with your little bum in the air. I’m not too happy with the idea that you have been getting into my video games (mom has photographic proof, so don’t even try the cute eyed “it wasn’t me, dad”). I think I’ve said it before, but it is a sign of the massive baby proofing that we need to do. All outlets capped…check! Another fun adventure is having you ride around on my shoulders and we are now one step closer to a true Master Blaster. Now we get to look forward to Chrismanukkah and spending thousands of dollars on your first holiday gifts. Time to lawyer it up, mom!
Love,
Dad

8 month letter (I forgot to post this)
My Dear Baby,
Eight Months old! I can’t believe in one short month you will have spent as much time out of the womb as you did in. You aren’t crawling yet, but you are doing a lot of creeping and bouncing back and forth. I thought you were pretty vocal before but oh no just in the past few days you have gotten even LOUDER. And it seems that you don’t appreciate me dipping into your time and talking on the phone because that is when you are your loudest. Umm…your naps are longer – averaging about an hour a piece. You are still talking three a day but I have a feeling that you are going to be transitioning to two anyday. You are having a massive growth at the moment drinking a whole bottle every 3 to 4 hours. Of course, you are still on that no solid food kick. But you’ll eat eventually I’m not that concerned at the moment. You are MAJORLY teething now. Yet no teeth are showing themselves. But the getting up three or four times a night is fun… You are just as adorable as ever with some new batches of hair coming in. You are thisclose to having enough for a bow in the front.
Likes:
Mommy (YES! Still First place!)
Daddy
Enticing Fear in your furbrothers (You literally had Anakin’s tail in your mouth yesterday)
Baths in the sink – you’ve mastered splashing and getting me soaked
“Walking” up and down the hallway – if you aren’t standing then you aren’t happy
Eating Mommy’s Glasses
Chewing on anything you can fit in your mouth – ANYTHING!
Shredding paper into tiny tiny pieces
Anything that crinkles
Bouncing and Jumping
Sitting on Daddy’s Shoulders
Watching Traffic – seriously…
The exersaucer – although the toys attached to it have gotten old
Chewing on your baby spoons
All of Mommy’s Song – I have proof! She ALWAYS smiles when I sing them.
When Mommy eats your face or makes any weird bizarre noise
Playing Star Wars games with Dad (although she still hasn’t received any new lines)
Getting into all of Dad’s games
Still the Mirror – you never get sick of looking at your own face
Reading all your books – you help me turn the pages now
Dislkes:
The Vacuum and Hairdryer – even the sight of them makes you cry
Baths in the tub – you FREAK OUT (I think there may be a draft)
The learning to crawl process – it’s hard work
Eating Solid Foods
Walks (I can’t figure out if it’s the cold or the wind but regardless within minutes you start whining and fidgeting to go home)
When something doesn’t fit in your mouth- you have quite the baby temper
I LOVE You More Than You Could Ever Imagine,
Mommy
