3/4 of a Year! (9months)

Here are just a few things Landry is doing now at 9 months old:

*Puts his hands together and tries to clap when we sing "Pat-a-Cake" and dances when we are singing the song or any other time he hears music
*Has a "new smile" when he is being silly
*Really putting things together and can tell he is concentratiing on certain things more. (example: when reading a book and pointing objects(ears/nose/eyes) he is trying to figure out what your saying and then trying to touch them himself)
*Sleeping around 10.5 hours a night and taking 2 naps a day
*Waves "bye bye" and will sometimes wave "hi"
*Just started eating a little bit of table food this week. He really likes bread, turkey and bluberries- well pretty much anything we put in his mouth!!
*Pulling up on EVERYTHING he can get his hands on and yes that includes Austin's leg hair!! OUCH!! It is so funny when he does this!
*Crawing 100% on his hands a knees- that little boy can move!
*LOVES to go out into public and see people and go places but we are still struggling with the car seat!
*learning to make different noises when talking. Every now and then he will make a "dayaya" sound which i consider to be daddy but mostly makes a "mmmmm" sound or talks Russian.
*This is my favorite new trick- When Austin comes home from work in the afternoon I will say "Landry, daddy is home-go get daddy" and he will look at me with a HUGE smile on his face and take off crawling toward the door that Austin walks in. It is so precious and I know it makes Austin feel good that his baby boy misses him during the day!!
*Just this past week he has started to dance- where he rocks back and forth and puffs his chest out. Sunday morning in church as soon as we start singing he immediately started singing very loudly- then all of a sudden he started dancing at the same time. It was so funny and I had to put my head down b/c I was laughing so hard. The lady sitting behind us leaned up and said "it looks as if he has the holy spirit in him today!" haha! It seems Landry is quite the entertainer especially at church! :)
*He is a pretty efficient little guy-when crawling since both hands are being used to help him crawl he has figured out a way to take his toys where he wants to go to play with him. He just puts them in his mouth and carries them. ha!ha!
*Learned how to make spit bubbles



*Starting to use his pincher grasp(pointer finger and thumb) occasionallly when picking food up.
*This little boy has learned how to bite and it hurts! WHo knew 6 teeth could hurt so bad?? This may not be a good thing but I'm sure it something they all go through.
*He is starting to be able to entertain himself now. Up till now you almost had to keep him entertained but in the last few weeks he has started to play really well without us by his side.
*Landry and Sadie like to share toys- GROSS!! They are also good playing buddies. They really like to watch each other play and will occasionally play together!
*He is getting very brave and when stading up he will only hold on with 1 hand and have a toy int he other. Sometimes he forgets and accidently lets go-that's why baby's have so much cushion! :)
*He has 6 teeth now and we are brushing them every night to make all 5 of our "dental field" family members proud! Landry likes to do it himself though but it turns more into him chewing on the toothbrush- but hey at least they are getting clean.
