9 months

Daniel turned 9 months on February 11, but I'm just now getting around to posting it. The teddy bear photo session didn't go so well because he didn't want to sit still for more than 2 seconds. That's pretty much been the norm lately. He is a busy guy!

Daniel is cruising all over the place now. He loves going around the coffee table, and going up and down the couches. He can reach a lot farther now, so things that were once safe in the middle of coffee table, now have to be moved to an even high place. He has also started the "running" crawl. Sometimes he will just take off crawling, and it amazes me how quickly he go! The other day Jeff saw him thinking about putting a clump of dirt in his mouth, so Jeff said "No Daniel". Daniel looked at him, popped it in his mouth and took off "running". :) Oh dear.

He has his two top teeth and two bottom teeth all the way in now, and a third top tooth is making it's way out. He has started grinding his teeth, and chewing on everything! One of his favorite things to chew on is his highchair tray. In between every bite of food, he'll lean forward and just gnaw on the tray for a few seconds. The coffee table has also been a favorite chew toy lately.

So there's our sweet guy at nine months! How fast this time has gone by!
