Happy 9 Months~ My Little Pumpkin

Holden turned 9 months this past Monday.  Its hard to believe that he is as old as the months that I carried him.  I remember every moment of my pregnancy with him.  The day I found out I was pregnant, the first time I felt him flutter, when we found out she was a he, all the way until the wee hours of the morning when my water broke.  Every moment a wonderful memory.  I am so in love with my sweet angel.  Each day I learn more and more how strong the bound is between a mother and her baby boy.  Holden might say "dadda" but he is and will always be momma's boy.

Happy 9 months sweet boy.

STATS:
Weight: 22 lbs 9.6 oz (80%)
Height:  29" (75%)

He is a mover and a shaker these days.  You leave him in one spot and find him in another.  He has started to stand without holding on, not but for a few seconds, but still getting pretty brave.  He also side shuffles when holding on to something, so its only a matter of time before he takes his first steps.  He has learned to wave bye-bye when prompted and he gives the best kisses.  Such a mans man too, he'll give momma, Grammy and GG (Great Grandmother) kisses when asked, but he wont give daddy kisses. 

Words:  Dada, duck, nunna (which I think means momma) and he has another sound he makes a lot and I think it is puppy, but still working on that one.

Foods: has has eaten all baby food, hasn't turned his nose up to anything.  He has had mashed potatoes, loves avocado.  We give him peas, cut up carrots and roman noodles.  He also likes grilled chicken.

We really didn't celebrate 9 months like we normally do with our "9 Months" sign.  We'll do that tomorrow hopefully.  Monday was busy day, as Holden had to have a minor surgery to fix his private area.  Nothing to worry about, he is doing fine!  He was such a trooper, never shed a tear.

We enjoyed this afternoon with some family time at the Pumpkin Patch. Here are a few of my favs:

Such as stinker.
