Nine Months

Dean turned nine months on the 21st of July.

Can you believe its been NINE MONTHS?! He's such a cutie and he personality is outstanding!

I just can not get enough of this little boy!

I found him like this one morning a week or two back. I did the stand and stare to make sure he wasnt' dead. And can I tell you he was furious with me when I unwound him!



He is definitely my son. Although it really doesn't show, I am the healthy eater in the family. Look how he smiles while eating his broccoli. :D




This one cracked me up because he had it just hanging out of his mouth while looking around.




munchin on the broccoli.




Look at that face. How can you not adore that face?!




He's looking like such a big boy lately. Its both amazing and sad to me.

Dean loves to crawl around, he hardly ever goes on his knees but prefers to 'bear crawl' which is walking on his feet and hands. Its so funny. I'll have to post a video of it soon. He also taken to standing on his own for a few seconds at a time. at first he was using other things to get up but yesterday he pushed himself up and stood there.....I see walking in our near future.
He has a healthy appetite still and is built! He's 21 pounds already. :)
Dean had blond hair and still has beautiful storm grey eyes. I keep praying and hoping they stay grey. He loves to smile and laugh and flirt.
Dean has three teeth. His two top front teeth and bottom left tooth. Its adorable.
He absolutely loooves his Tanner. He follows him around and crawls on him and sits next him while he plays. Tanner acts like he gets annoyed but when Dean goes off and does his own thing Tanner comes and lays next to him or nudges him so he'll come play. Dean loves his sisters too, he thinks they are super funny. and of course he loves his daddy. he likes to sit in his lap while Brian does computer stuff. But he is definitely a momma's boy, everyone will tell you.....and I absolutely love it! I love that he HAS to be in the same room as me, that he wants to sit in his highchair while I cook. That he wants me to be on the floor with him while he plays, just in case he wants to show me something or crawl on me (I'm a fun jungle gym cause I've got padding) I love that when he see's me in the morning he will get a huge smile and then fall into the corner of his crib and be all shy. I love that he holds my figures while we are just sitting there because he's got to be touching me. I ache when I dont' get to be near him during the day and everything in the world will be better the minute I get him back with me.
Dean is ticklish on his back and neck and he does the same thing I do when he gets excited he puts his hands near his mouth...dont' ask me where that comes from. Its something I've always done.
Dean gets this really high pitched scream when he gets excited. Its hilarious and lately he's been doing this grunting thing when he things something is fun or somewhat funny.

I think that's about it for now. Absolutely love this boy and so very thankful Heavenly Father blessed us with him.
