9 Months!

Standing up, my new favorite thing to do!


Big Smile with mom!

I still fit in the bumbo chair!

Well, here we are at 9 months old already. So many changes this month! Aubrey spent his first full week at his Grandma and Grandpa Saunders in July and did really well. He slept in his pack and play, played with his grandpa and went to Target with his grandma. They said they all had a good time! :-)

Aubrey's new big skill is pulling up to his knees and to stand. He enjoys standing up and scooting and crawling everywhere. He no longer stays in one place, but is everywhere. We officially have to babyproof!!

He is trying finger foods and learning to drink from a cup. He still takes two naps and sleeps well at night, rarely waking up, although we still have some of those nights. This month he also said "dada!" when Jody walked into the room. We aren't sure if it's a word just yet, but it certainly seems like it. I work on "mama" alot with him but we haven't heard that word yet....someday soon, hopefully. He turns his head when we say his name and stops when he's told "no" although he smiles at us, so we aren't sure if he really understands what it means.

There haven't been any changes with his feet this month. We still put his corrective shoes on at night and we'll have another visit with Texas Children's Hospital in September. He does put up a bit of a fight when we put them on at night, I've resorted to putting on his shoes first and then getting his pj's on later in the evening. I completely understand why there is a strap on the changing pad now! He is all over the place. He likes to get himself turned over, get up on his knees and pull up on the changing table!! Wow!! He's a busy boy!
