9 month update

I've tried really hard to do a month by month update on Morgan for his 1st year and it so sweet to look back on some of those previous posts. 9 months has gone by incredibly fast, too fast. It's so fascinating to watch your child progress and grow. Life is so new, and everything is so exciting and fun.

Morgan at 9 months is a little explorer. No nook, cranny, or crawl space is left unturned. He loves to get into my magazines and rip, rip, and crumple. His toy bucket sits untouched, yet every DVD is pulled out and spread around the floor. He also likes to do this:

Buttons and the remote are too tempting for this guys little fingers to resist.

He's right on the brink of taking off and walking. He moves from one piece of furniture to the other or anything else he can pull himself up on. He is a little bit more cautious than Kendle was at this age, it's so interesting to see the differences.

His two little bottom teeth are finally visible which makes all of his munching that much easier. Give him a cracker and he'll be your friend for life.

Although, with a sweet little face like that, I'd give him as many crackers as he wanted.

He's also getting to where he looks at me first when he knows he is doing something he's not supposed to, to see if I'm going to stop him. I can see his little brain trying to devise a plan of how to get those off limit items I had to move to a higher place.

It's no surprise that my children love music, but he really rocks out when I turn it on. He literally starts rocking himself and clapping his hands. If he's playing with a toy and a commercial comes on with some music he will instantly stop and turn his full attention to the T.V. until it's over. It cracks me up.

Morgan never really lost any of his hair and it's starting to get long enough that I need to cut it. It looks so cute, (even though Riley gives me a hard time that I comb it like a choir boy) and it's such a pretty color. There's definitely some auburn in there from my side of the family. We can't decide what color his eyes are for sure. They are brown in the middle and blue/green on the outside. They seem to change colors like Riley's do depending on what he's wearing.

If I had to sum Morgan up at this age I would say he is a happy, wiggly, curious, busy, loving, little boy.
