Hayden 9 months old

I know this post is a little late but I just thought I'd update on how my little H is not so little anymore. He's 9 months old! Time has truly flown, but it has been so fun spending that time with this spunky, full of life, stinker pot boy!

He loves to go shopping and see people. He waves and giggles when people say Hi. Sometimes he actually gives a raised hand that looks more like the hail hitler but what he means is "hi, yeah I know I'm cute, keep the 'he's adorable comments' coming". 

He loves to be outside! And he is always pulling faces. This is his smolder 

This is his new thing where he scrunches his nose and crinkles his brow. It's so funny, but better in person since you get the sound effects.

Now that he's crawling all over the place he's become a little more independent. He will push his balls around all day and while he does this you hear him repeatedly say "ba ba ball"

 Under the bouncer holding one of his favorite basketballs. Oh and you see those clear things? Those are the vent covers that never stay on the vent. It's his job to make sure of that.

With teething feeling like a constant thing we like to go for walks and pick zucchini out of our garden. He thinks its super yummy to eat!

He's very excited about this one! Moms not too excited about the smell of the diaper after he eats this vegetable though! (Yeah I know prob TMI)

Whenever he's fussy or bored we read books! He loves monkey George and he's also very fond of the touch books with all different types of animal fur. 

Yeah this boy loves him some sugar! Especially suckers. He's a sticky mess afterwards but it's well worth it.

Especially when I get one of his silly faces!!

Teething is a nightmare right now for us. Especially trying to get him to nap. It's been a fight. I attempt at letting him CIO when he's had all his needs met for pain, diaper,eating etc. one day we got all of a 5 min nap in until the dryer rang its little melody for being done. 

Before he woke up, this is how I found him. I have no idea how he could even sleep like this, other than the fact that he really was tired and finally gave in.

A separate struggle from teething has been how much our little man loves food, but his tummy doesn't. What I mean is he will eat and eat and eat! After he eats he will literally throw up everything. He's always had major projectile as a baby but we thought with solids we would be good. Not the case. We have learned that he can't eat as much as he wants. We have to ration and he hates it. He's very verbal about wanting more. I just can't bare to see him suffer when he throws up. As for now it seems the food that stays down the best is French fries and nuggets. Not healthy but whatever! We are attempting to try weaning him from breast feeding but milk is another issue. He will gag and throw up formula. Hates it, and I don't blame him. The pediatrician gave us the okay to start cows milk slowly but he ends up throwing that up too. It's hard as a mother to not know how much and what to feed your child. I also need to figure it out soon because being pregnant and nursing at the same time wears on my body. 

He is a trooper and I love him. He's always smiling or goofing around. He loves "a dad". When G gets home he is almost crying because he's so excited! He is still a mommas boy but he looks forward to his time with dad. 

Pulling himself up on furniture and the stair railing. He's super proud!!

Changing his diaper right now proves very difficult. He allows me to wipe him clean but as soon as thats done he flips over faster than I can blink! So most days he gets a few minutes shooting the breeze as he pulls himself up on the furniture in his room.

H keeps life fun and there is never a dull moment. He has richly blessed our lives with his big spirit and encompassing smile. We love our goofy boy!
