9 months!

Well, another month and come and gone.  Time is not slowing down and Reid keeps growing and becoming more and more adorable...if that's even possible!  It's been another fun month with Reid, mixed in with two teeth coming in, but our happy, smiley boy is such a joy to be around.  The first 3 pictures below are with Reid wearing that same outfit that Micah did at 9 months (unintentionally!) and after I looked at them, realizing there were some similarities in positions and facials between the two boys as well.  At Reid's 9 month appointment, the doctor looked at Reid, then Micah, and said "Wow, Reid, you're just a mini version of your brother, aren't you?" And while I don't think they're identical, they are quite similar. 

I know the pictures are similar - he's just so smiley in all of them!  It's great. :)

Doctor stats:  18.9 pounds (35%), 28.75 inches (75%) and 17.75 inches head circumference (50%)

Things to remember:

• How you got teeth number 3 and 4 this month, #4 coming in over the course of a day from start to finish...not a great time for you, and about the only thing that can cause you complete neediness
• How you really started saying "Dada" and "Mama" with some knowledge of who you're talking about
• How much of a Momma's boy you are.  You haven't made it through nursery one time yet, unfortunately.  And if I'm ever in the room, you're close by :)
• How you and your brother have moments of sweetness and pure joy in laughing with each other.  You light up when he's in the room, and as long as he isn't antagonizing you, you're all smiles for Micah.  You also tolerate your brother's pulling you around by your legs (at least for a little while...)
• How you have started scooting along the couch this month...reminding me I need to get the walking toy out so you can start using that to assist you in walking!
• How you finally started sleeping through the night!!!!  What a glorious shift it has been for your Momma now that we're both getting a pretty decent night of sleep.  You tend to go down around 7pm and wake around 6ish in the morning.  
• How much you love table food...you hardly eat any baby food anymore and just love almost everything we put in front of you!  
• How much you love to play hide and seek with the kitchen curtains :)

We love you sweet Reid.  We love your easy going, happy and smiley demeanor.  We love your overall contentedness and ability to go with the flow with our crazy little family.  Happy 9 months!
