9 Months old and busy busy busy!

Our little man is 9 months old now and is one busy little boy!

I am not kidding the boy is NEVER still unless he is sleeping! The movement is non-stop and he is FAST! We can't take our eyes off of him for two seconds or he is in to some kind of mischief. We are having so much fun with our little explorer. Yesterday he stood himself up without pulling up on something twice and one time he took a step towards the couch! I was shocked!!! I have a feeling walking is just around the corner...time will tell! Lately he has been imitating sounds and words a lot. He clicks his tongue constantly and when we read one of his books to him and make a spitting noise for a camel he clicks his tongue to copy! He roars for a lion sometimes and laughs when we make monkey noises. The other day my mom and dad were telling him their drinks were "hot!" and he said "hot!" He imitated me saying "yum, yum, yum" yesterday...and he says "dada" constantly now and occasionally "mama" when he wants something. He is really getting his pincher grasp down and loves cheerios and is still a great eater all around. He has two bottom teeth and I can see two top ones starting to push through and one more bottom one. He is just growing up so fast! He is such a joy!
Crawling through his box tunnel daddy made him when we were unpacking a few things last weekend...he loved it but yesterday he had so much fun playing with it he demolished it!
All this exploring must be hard work...he fell asleep mid meal last night!

Is this not all boy? This is how he was napping this morning!

We are so in love with our little Josiah!

As for us...Jay just got back from a week at Bandina, his first Bandina experience and he really liked it. We really missed him though and are glad he is home for a few days before he goes on another trip. I am feeling pretty good, I am a little over 8 wks now and very very tired and have had some mild queasiness but nothing to complain about really. Just when we've adjusted to the idea that we are about to have #2 something happens that makes reality set in and it is still kind of shocking! But nonethless we are so excited to have another baby and feel so very blessed!
