9 months = 26.8 lbs

I can hardly believe that my big ole boy turned 9 months old today. It is even harder to imagine that he has been on this earth for as long as he was inside of me. It has been an awesome 9 months of celebrating each day of this sweet boy's life and continuing to be thankful for the blessing of him daily.

Month 9 has brought about some changes:
  • Weigh 26.8 lbs and wear size 6 diapers
  • You are standing up on your own
  • Continue to say Mommy, Daddy & Emma
  • You are very active and all over the place when we put you on the floor
  • Got to have your helmet removed and your head looks beautiful
  • Your Daddy had to cut a little piece of your hair because it was hanging over your ears
  • You are madly in love with your big sister and think she is so funny
  • You are scooting all over the house and are really fast
  • Have become super attached to Daddy this month and often prefer him over Mommy these days
  • Enjoy playing in Emma's room
  • Started pulling up and standing up in your crib while holding onto the rail
  • Love our dog Beamer and get very excited when he is by you
  • Noddy has become the TV show you love the best
  • Car rides and baths are your favorite times
  • Celebrated your 1st Thanksgiving with us at the Carnes
  • You are a wild man, you like to squirm around during diaper changes and when we are holding you
  • Have 8 teeth and love to bite us
  • Enjoy being outside
  • Traveled with us on our 2nd vacation & you were wonderful
  • YoBaby yogurt remains your favorite food
  • You are quite the ham when we pull out a camera and start smiling instantly
  • Get super excited and scream when you like something
  • Taking 3-4oz. pumped bottles a day and nursing at night, still exclusively nursed {you refuse to try formula}
  • Wearing 12-18 month clothes and 6-12 month Pedi Peds
  • You look just like my Daddy {oh what I would have given if he could have just held you this side of Heaven~you would have had a pony by now for sure. He would have been smitten over you}
  • You constantly laugh and smile

Gavin, you are a pure delight. We love you so much and your smile is contagious, Son. We are so excited to have you with us this Christmas and to celebrate the Holidays as a family of four. Happy 9 month old Birthday, baby boy. We continue to thank GOD everyday for the blessing of you. Keep Smiling!

Oh my goodness. He is gorgeous!!! Can little boys be gorgeous?!?! These babies need to quit growing up so fast!
I starting crying reading about Gavin being just like your daddy. I know exactly how you feel about wishing he could have held your sweet boy here on earth! I always imagine taking Cilla to meet her Grammie and the smile and joy that would be all over her Grammie! I thought about you over thanksgiving and will be praying for you over the holiday season.
