9 Months and Counting

What does 9 months look like for Easton Gage?


9 months of age brings... 
5 1/2 teeth, chewing on the sides of his crib, pulling up on everything, crawling as fast as he can go, walking around the crib for 30 minutes when it's supposed to be nap time, interests in household items such as: measuring cups, whisks, the dishwasher (when it's open), & momma's (or anyone else's) watch as well as floor vents & curlers, the attempt to climb stairs, eat 3 meals a day plus a snack, "DA DA DA DA!", Easton's first shoo shoo in his bathtub during bath-time, waving bye-bye or hello, showing his "muscles" (hilarious!), the love of books (current favorite's include Brown Bear Brown Bear, Little Loon and Pappa, & The Going to Bed Book), noticing of his surroundings (unfamiliar vs. familiar), noticing Momma hasn't been there upon arrival or when she's visited at work (still no attachment issues), weight: 19 lbs (20th percentile), 9-12 months clothing size & size 3 diaper, sleeps 12 hours at night with 3 naps during the daytime, giggles and laughter when tickled, the growth of red hair that can be styled into a curly mohawk, and more and more love and adoration from his parents with each passing day.
