It's been awhile, but Seamus at almost 9 months...

So, my lil monkey is nine months old (almost) now! He is sooo much fun to play with and he is larning so much!

He can finally crawl! He started a couple of weeks ago, I really was worried that he was going to skip that step but he didn't! Yay!

He is also eating a lot of solid foods now. He loves fruit. I bought this little net popsicle thingy that I can put cut up fruit in and he mashes it up, so it kinda oozes out of the netting, gross but effective. So he's had bananas, strawberries, pear and a couple of raspberries out of that thing. He also eats rice, eggs, noodles, pancakes, french toast, pizza crusts(great for teething on), broccoli, cucumber, celery and the gerber graduate snacks in addition to his oatmeals and baby mush! The kid loves food!

Seamus is so smart! If wants a snack while we're in the car he'll raise his arm up and belt "Baaaaaaah" or "Mahma". I give him a lil crunchy and he smiles and shows me his lil teeth. :) I'm such a proud Mom. He strated cruising too. He'll slowly make his way from the couch to me to his play table to daddy to the other couch, by then he's tired and doesn't make his way back around.

Gloria, John's mom takes Seamus every wednesday. She is amazing with him! They had hundreds of foster kids over the years and she knows just what to do when it comes to teaching him colors and what not.

Which leads me to this story:

Last week he was with Grammy Glor, she has these fisher price plastic eggs a red one, a blue one and a yellow one. They break in half and have these little felt yolks inside. Well Grammy lined all of the eggs up, while they were in halfs, handed Seamus half of the red one and he grabbed the other half of the red and tried to put them back together! She thought "Wow!" maybe it was a fluke so she shuffled the colors and he grabbed the red one again! So nowit was a test, she put the halves in a basket, with the red one at the bottom. He rooted through the basket and found the red one again! Heehee! My monkey is so smart! :)

Seamus says Mama and Dada indescriminatly and "Oooooooooo" when he sings along. He gives kisses almost on command and can stand free no hands for about 10 seconds!

Anyway, that's enough of that. I'm sure that you all care soooo  much about my son's developmental progress. Love you all and until next time :)
