9 Months

Sir Trip
Well, today you've been in the outside world longer than you were in Momma's belly, actually you hit this mark about 2 weeks ago since you didn't actually make it to 9 months in the belly.  What a difference a month makes!  Last month you were doing the army crawl on your belly and now you're a full on crawler.  You still didn't have any teeth and as of today you've fully cut one bottom tooth and the second one should be coming through any day now.  You're trying to pull up on everything, which scares Momma since the house is definitely not ready to have a completely mobile baby but I guess it's about to get ready.  We lowered your crib mattress to almost the lowest setting Memorial Day weekend and changing you diaper on the changing table is next to impossible anyone because you're so squirmy!  You're back to sleeping through the nite and you've started clapping your hands which is just about the cutest thing I've ever seen!

This month you'll attend your first wedding when Auntie Destiny and "Uncle" Chop (soon to be Uncle) get married this coming Saturday.  The following weekend we'll celebrate your first Father's Day and daddy's 30th birthday all in one weekend and then Noni's 50th birthday the following weekend.  Needless to say it's going to be a very busy June! 

I can hardly believe in 3 short months you'll be one!  This year has gone by WAY to fast and I wish I could just stop the clock but it's not possible.  So I soak in every minute we have together knowing that soon you'll start becoming more independent.  The last nine months have been the most fulfilling and I can't wait to see what new things you learn next.

Momma loves you sweet boy!
