My sweet baby Gates is 9 months old! I can't believe in 3 short months he will be ONE - where does the time go?
Here is what you are doing at 9 months:
-You have a few baby babbles, such as Dadadada, Babababa, and sometimes Mamamama.
-You are crawling FAST now and pulling up on everything. You have "cruised" a few times on furniture.
-You weigh 23 lbs and wear 12-18 month clothes and wear size 4 diapers - big boy! You are really tall too!
-You still take 4 8oz bottles and eat food 3x per day. You are not interested in baby food fed by a spoon AT ALL. You can pick up and eat just about anything off of your tray, but you can be a little picky about what goes into your mouth. You prefer "dry" food such as cereal, over mushy foods like blueberries. Your favorites right now are broccoli, ham, pancakes, strawberry/apple pouches, cheerios, quesadillas and puffs.
-You drink water out of a sippy cup and love it!
-You are doing really well at night - sleeping 7:30/8pm - 7ish am (sometimes later!).
-I have been trying to get you to take 2 naps instead of 3 during the day. If so, you nap at 9am and 1:30 or 2pm.
-I do NOT have to rock you to sleep anymore. You are so squirmy you like to just be put in your crib to fall asleep on your own.
-You are the sweetest thing and really love to sleep. I rememeber working so hard to get Hawkins to nap and you love to nap!
-You are teething like CRAZY! And drooling...
-You love drawers, outlets, remote controls, telephones and the dogs water bowl.
-You love your brother!

Hi Frances,
Greeting from your scarf swap partner! :)
So, I already feel like a total stalker thumbing through your blog, getting a sense of your style for our lovely scarf swap, so I figured I'd go ahead and introduce myself.
I totally want it to be a surprise so I'm not going to tell you anything about the scarf (that I have yet to pick out) but I wanted to confirm - where are you located? From Facebook it looks like Georgia? Just want to make sure I am getting the climate right for the type of scarf.
Cheers,
Lauren
PS - Your boys are the CUTEST things ever!!!! Funny thing - your oldest Hawkins looks SO much like my sister's husband as a child. (I recently made their wedding slideshow, so it's top of mind). I'll have to send you a pic - it's uncanny.
Anyhow, looking forward to it!
