9 months old

Benjamin turned 9 months old yesterday. It seems like yesterday that we were going to the hospital to have him. I cant believe I am dressing him in 9-12 month clothes now.

So much has happened since our last post. Benjamin started crawling very well at 8 months. Now, he is crawling fast and pulling him self up to everything and using furniture to help him walk around. Last night he figured out how to make his walker go forward. For the past few months, he has only been able to operate his walker in REVERSE. So going forward is a huge accomplishment for him. Benjamin has been teething for a while now without any teeth coming through yet. We are hoping that they will soon so that he can sleep on a schedule again and be more content. He has been trying more table food. He especially loves ice cream sandwiches. He eats oranges, scrambled eggs, refried beans, and he loves to chew on pickles (sweet ones and dill ones). He is growing up so fast. He says dadadadada alot of the time and he says "Mom" very clearly when he is upset. He has started out sticking out his tongue. I think it is pretty funny. We went to the doctor for his 9 mo check up and he was perfect. He weighs 19 lbs right now and they said his head has maintained nicely so we won't have to have any scans done after all. They were previously worried about his head being to big for his size??? based on their growth curve program. We have a perfectly healthy, beautiful baby boy who is growing like a weed.

Jose got a new job and starts on Monday. He is excited to be starting something new. He will be working at Roberts Truck Center as their rental manager. It will be so much closer to home so he will get to come home and play w baby at lunch :)
We should get to spend more time with him now.
