My Big Boy

Cruz is 9 months old today!

It has gone SO fast.
Too fast.
I'm constantly amazed by this little man and the way he continually changes the way I view life.
I'm proud to be his mommy.

 (Omg, we dressed up as Harry and Hedwig. Yes, my glasses are made of pipe cleaners. You don't have to tell me that my outfit is killer, I already know).

9 month stats:

 Starting to eat "big boy" foods aka table food

Has an amazing pincer grab

Trying so hard to walk. Pulls up and walks along everything

Doesn't fit into a size 2 diaper anymore, but is still a little small for 3's. 1/2 sizes??

Wears 6-9 month clothes

Hates strawberries (what?!?)

Loves sourdough french bread (a man after my own heart)

Gives kisses...with his teeth

Still does the army crawl

Pulls the dogs water bowl over on himself at least once a week

Loves to play "baby chef" i.e pulling out every pot and pan we have

Still won't take a sippy cup or bottle

Still hates the car

Freaks out when you try to wipe his nose, unless you let him wipe yours first

Has 6 teeth and brushes them every night before bed

Starting to exhibit the beginnings of temper tantrums (yay)

Hates when you try to get him dressed

Starting to get really ticklish 

I'm pretty much the luckiest lady in the world.

Thank you for letting me be your mama, Ruzy Bear.
