9 Months

Elliot is 9 months old!



What is our 9 month old up to? He can officially crawl on hands and knees (but usually still prefers commando crawling), cruises the furniture rapidly and with ease, and can walk through the house with his walking toy:



(although this does make him cry very easily because he can't control turning or speed at all yet...very frustrating for him)

Still our great eater:


Alas, not the best sleeper. We have tried many, many, many things but can't budge his wake time past 5:30 AM at the latest, and alas often much earlier than that. We drink a lot of coffee.

He is going through a separation anxiety stage...if we step away from him for even a moment there is much wailing, crawling desperately after us while sobbing, and then attempting to claw his way up our legs. The other week we attempted the gym daycare again and I was paged after only 15 minutes because he was so hysterical. Very sad.

He is clapping, waving, and mimicing sounds - which is all very fun - and figuring out cause and effect with his toys a bit more. He is also in the "drop everything from my highchair to see it fall" phase...not as fun.

Happy 9 months to our little man!
