Nine Months


Isaac (or Chunk, as we often call him) is a big busy body. But he never likes to be far from his mama. I can't leave the room without a sad baby crawling after me. It makes tidying up the house quite interesting. As I walk back and forth between rooms--our apartment is tiny, for heaven's sake---Isaac is always one step behind, crying. Today I seriously hurt his feelings when I went on our front porch without him to pick some fresh rosemary. I guess I won't be doing that again. :-)

This month he has learned to eat finger food and loves Cheerios. In fact, he now wants them with every single meal. I think I've created a Cheerio monster because he screams and will refuse to eat any baby food unless there are Cheerios on his tray. I'm working on helping him learn to like other finger foods. 

He pulls himself up on everything, and has started taking some side-steps, but no real cruising happening yet.  Crawling is definitely his preferred transportation mode, and he is good at it! In fact I think he could out crawl me. 

Here are some pictures of this cutie pie: 

                                     

                                     

                                              

Look at those cheeks! They are as soft and scrumptious as they look. I've realized I have an insatiable appetite for both good, dark chocolate and Isaac's cheeks. 

                                               


His eyes are brown/grey/green. We're still not sure how they're going to turn out. But they are definitely dark and handsome like his dad's. 



He always sucks on his upper lip like this:

 

Can you see his two teeth? They're the only ones he's got:



And his "I want something" or "This food is gross!" face: 




To give you a true sense of his cuteness, here's a little video I took today. He had crawled into the other room, thinking I was going to chase him. But instead I waited for him to come back. I think he thought I had gone into the other room, ha ha!
