9 Months Old!

Can you believe this (no long so little) guy is already 9 months old?! Ah! How time flies!

The absolutely lovely day (66F) started with an hour long jog along the harbor to Fells Point alongside his friend Jackson. They jibber jabbered back and forth the entire time. Colton also decided he was done with his bottle and threw it in the water. 

Crawling, crawling, more crawling.

A play date with his buddy Ben.

And a park date with (one of his) girlfriends, Ryan. 

After a little bit of a battle (he now stands up IMMEDIATELYwhen putting him down for a nap.. and yells!), he is napping. After nap, the park.. again! It is so nice living just 2 blocks away from a great park.

A 9 month old photo shoot... in his jams.

Spends most of his day on all fours.

With or without clothes...

A run with Jackson

Swings!

Kisses from Ryan

Bro time

At 9 months old, Colton is a hoot. I swear he just gets more fun every day. 

He can play peek-a-boo!

He loves to bounce and when you say, 'bounce bounce bounce' he bounces up and down!

He has decided that he wants to feed himself and gets frustrated if not enough of his meal is finger food.

He is constantly making the 'vvvvv' noise.

He stands up in his crib.

He pulls up on everything and now can do it from laying down.

He is all over the place crawling. Something just clicked and he's into everything.

He is obsessed with everything that is not a toy, particularly shoes, coffee, wine, beer, cords, phones, diapers (dirty or clean), the nose sucker.

He loves reading. It's quite remarkable how he'll just sit in your lap and listen to books for such long periods of time.

Every baby he sees (or himself in the mirror) he kisses.. or his version of kiss. It is adorable.

He has two top teeth that finally cut through (4 altogether now).

He still prefers to be walking.

And he can now walk between pieces of furniture by himself.

There is SO SO much more about this sweet adorable nine month old boy that I get to spend everyday all day with, but I'll stop!
