9 month update

Dane is moving quickly these days. We are in a constant fight over the dog food bowl so that hasn't changed. He is not pulling himself up on everything though. I think he is also teething again because he wakes up at least once a night crying like he is in pain. There is really no way for me to tell though because I am not sticking my hand in that alligator trap. His new thing is biting and chewing on whatever. It doesn't matter if it is the couch, his crib, or my FACE! I though he was leaning over to give me a kiss but boy was I wrong. He also seems to have quite the temper these days. He wants to be walked all the time. Not only does he demand it but he likes you to do it a certain way. If you do not hold his hands above his head while you walk him he will scream. If you stop and put him down he will scream and then try to crawl up your leg. I don't know where he gets this short temper from.

I also took him this month for his blood work again and praise God his results were all perfectly normal. We have been approved for surgery so I will call tomorrow to get it scheduled. When we took him in he was still 20 lbs and 30 inches. I am so glad we don't have to take him again. Now if we can just get the boy circumcised!

We also went to the lake with Dane for the first time. He really enjoyed being on the boat. Crazy papa Mike let him drive a little. He loved hearing him press the horn. I think he will love the water like I do. My uncle can't wait to get him up on some skis.

Turning 9 months

Dane is the big 9 months now and he is mobile! Dane started crawling this last week and he is on the go. I managed to get a little snippet of him going after my ipod touch. He is also starting to pull up on the furniture. He is still working on walking anytime someone will help him.

He is also loves all the new food I am giving him these days. If I can cut it up small enough then I am giving it to him. Tacos are his new favorite thing to eat. We took him to a mexican restaurant and I was feeding him some beans, rice, cheese, and taco meat until he looked like he was about to bust. I stopped feeding him and turned around to him feeding himself more.

Now that he can run around the bath tub we have taken him out of the small tub and just let him loose in the large tub. We also got him some more tub toys to play with. I bought him some of the foam letters and he loves the purple X. I wasn't sure if it was just the X or if he really liked purple. I put a few more letters in and it is true his favorite color is purple because he only plays with the purple ones.
