Here's our little cutie pie. You can see his two little bottom teef and the top two are coming soon. Teething seems to bother Sammy more than it did Olivia, or maybe I've just forgotten. Olivia was always sucking on her bottom lip, maybe that's how she dealt with it. Sammy just likes to bite. Everything. Wood rocking chair, my leg, the rug, rocks...he's an equal opportunity chomper. I'm hoping it's a phase he'll get out of soon.
Here's a photo of us just to prove, contrary to the sheer number of photos of us that I'm not in, that I was there:
Here's some pictures of Sammy and Olivia together. When we can find an activity that they can enjoy together, it's brilliant. She's not so great about sharing her toys with him but that's all he wants: whatever she's playing with.
Other new things this month: we're slowly weaning from breastfeeding. It's been pretty organic, really. Sammy loves all food and wants to eat. I'm ready to be done too, so it's a good time this month. Plus, did I mention the biting?
Sammy's a big chatterer, this month he's added "dadada" to "mamama" and there's also "bababa." I wonder if he's saying baby, since he sure does love his books with pictures of babies.
Other new things this month: Sammy's first trip to the swimming pool and his first ride on the green seat on Daddy's bike! Both adventures were handled with aplomb, of course. (Photos forthcoming!)
Ok, time for bed for me. Olivia is still stirring, even though it's 9:30 p.m. Phew.
Nine months is neat.
