9 Months (9 On/9 Off)

Today is Noah's 9 month birthday! How exciting! I think this past month has been the most fun so far with this little luv bug.
He's super mobile which is always exciting, and he's discovered a whole new world this way. I think Noah had just as much fun with all of Lincoln's new toys last week as big brother did.
He has also started eating solid foods - I pretty much will chop up what we have for dinner and give it to him - and he eats like a champ, even with NO teeth yet! I will usually feed him some of his baby food, too, though because (a) we have a LOT of it still, and (b) to ensure he gets those yummy veggies in full. He still eats his rice cereal in the morning mixed with some fruit.

His sleep habits haven't changed much. Still sleeps un-interrupted from about 7:30-7:30 (love the mornings he goes all the way until 8:00!).

He hasn't shown any attachment issues yet which has been nice since we take trips to the gym, bible study, and church where he is left in the nursery.

He's not the toughest of little guys. Ha. He tends to get upset at the smallest little "bump" - usually made by Lincoln.

He LOVES Benny! Which works perfect because Lincoln loves Bruce - a dog for each.

HE takes a morning nap for about an hour (I will only let him sleep an hour), and then I put him down for his long nap when Lincoln goes down (usually about 2.5-3.5 hours).

He's still our content little guy. Loves to be held, loves to just and watch Lincoln (this often gets him giggling), and can just play nicely by himself or with us.

As for mommy, you always hear "9 months on/9 months off"...I always thought the losing-baby-weight ordeal would for sure be quicker than that for me! It was with the first, but with this one, it literally took all of 9 months. But I am now, finally back to where I was before, my clothes all fit, and I am back at running! So happy 9 months for us both. :)
