It's hard to believe that one week from today Aubrey will be 9 months old... where has this year gone?! We've hit some major milestones in the last month. Aubrey has perfected his crawl and is now mobile around the house (scary!) He can pull himself up to standing and walk independently while holding onto stable obejcts, like the couch. (Scarier!) He likes to push around his new "baby walker" that looks like a little car...he is still a little wobbly, but it only took him a couple tries to figure it out. He loves to feed himself (puff cereal is a favorite) and he knows how to use a spoon... and make a mess! (See below. YUM roasted butternut squash, homemade by Mommy!) He likes to go on shopping trips and ride in the cart like a big boy. (Also see below.) And he is figuring out how to wave and say "Bye bye" and "Hi." (Gotta love the little baby voice.)
We are going to get some video of Aubrey on the move soon, so hopefully that will be our next post, to prove it to the disbelieving granparents. (Didi and Granddaddy, you know who you are!)
And last but definitely not least, Aubrey now has 3 teeth! All are on the bottom, but it looks like we may be seeing the top two any day now. The sooner the better, so our poor child can start sleeping again!
Probably the best part of all this newfound freedom is when I go into Aubrey's room in the morning to get him out of his crib. When he hears me come in, he immediately crawls over to the rails and pulls himself up to standing and greets me with a huge smile on his face... he is so proud of this accomplishment! What a sweetie pie.
