Josiah is already NINE MONTHS OLD! He's now closer to be a one year old toddler than a baby...but, no walking=no toddler, so we'll hold onto babyhood as long as possible. He has a cold, so his eyes don't look quite as happy as they usually do, and in some pictures there's snot dripping from his nose...but, he's still the cutest little guy I've ever seen.
As you can tell below, he's starting to think about crawling.
for about 1/2 a second at a time. ;) He always ends up like this. He does move a tiny bit...I can watch him the whole time but still have no idea how he's doing it. No crawling or rolling, not even backwards crawling..just kind of spinning I guess. He does have go-go gadget arms so he gets most anything he wants.
Even though he's not moving much...he knows how to stand. And, he loves it. He doesn't like to be still long and will climb/pull up constantly. Even over Sissys bed rail. Yep. Mommy might have freaked out watching those little legs fly over the side of the bed. He was fine though, I promise. Barely cried. No scratches, blood, or concussions. Just a Mommy unable to get over her guilt.
He started sleeping better then his cold put us right back where we were. He was down to only waking up twice (we even had two nights of not at all!). Hopefully, he'll get over this cold and we can get back there soon! He had started gaining weight but once again hasn't for two weeks. So, no night time weaning yet. He needs all the food he can get! He's in the 20% for length and 25% for weight. But, he'll fool you! He looks like a big guy and gets lots of comments like, "Oh! He's a big guy!" or "He's a little chunker isn't he?" I think it's the off the chart sized head ;)
He's talking up a storm and knows who we all are. You can ask him, "Where's Sissy (mommy, daddy, or bella)?" and he'll look right at the person (or pet) you asked about. For Mommy and Daddy, he'll sometimes reply with a Mama or Dadada.
And, he still loves peek-a-boo.
Practically perfect in everyway. Love you little dude.
