Alex turned 9 months old today! He's had a very productive month. He's trying a lot of new foods. He loves cheerios, pickles, oranges, yogurt, graham crackers and bananas. This morning he had breakfast with Mommy and Daddy and enjoyed his first pancake (dipped in syrup of course). Lately, he's been a drool machine so I think he's getting more teeth soon to add to his two bottom teeth. He started clapping on his own and will usually do it on demand now. We're still working on waving hello and goodbye. He is crawling and climbing everywhere. He can easily pull himself up on furniture and walk around it. He's working on getting more balance to stand on his own. He's babbling a ton and squeals when he gets excited. He is still sleeping great (about 11 hours each night). He is so much fun to watch and makes us smile every day!
