Nine Months

We always thought he was advanced for his age, but now we're sure (see above, Bruce is getting ready to read A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking). Haha, it wasn't until a few minutes ago while editing this photo that I realized this shot actually captured him pulling that book out. His dad would be proud. Bruce provides us with plenty of opportunities to rearrange our books as he is pulling them out daily.

Some things Bruce is doing now...pulling himself up and cruising around, is on a decent schedule sleeping at 8:00 till 7:00ish and napping at 9:00, 1:00, and 5:00, still breastfeeding and eating all types of baby food, currently has the bottom two teeth and pushing two top teeth through, babbles and says dadadada, omnomnomnom, blows out through his lips, likes books and being read to, hates getting his diaper changed (squirms around like none other), likes to be crawled/chased only to get caught and tickled, will lean over until he's in your eyesight when he's trying to get your attention, gets excited and will dance and wave his arms up and down, likes his pacifier, gets into cabinets, bookshelves, and our artificial tree, starting to throw tantrums, very smiley and happy most of the time (haha, didn't realize this comment followed "starting to throw tantrums"), loves walks in the stroller, and beginning to imitate us.


In other news, we've recently taken him to the pool for the first time. He did just fine.
