Happy Nine Months, Valentine!

Our little Valentine is nine months old today! Hard to believe the time flies so quickly! At nine months Ian:

* is wearing a size 4 diaper and 12 month clothing.
* is scooting around really well while sitting.
* can push himself backwards in the crawling position, but still hasn't figured out how to go forwards.
* will push his arms through his shirt sleeves on his own, sits fairly patiently while we pull a shirt over his head, but thinks pants take entirely too long to put on.
* likes to play with rugs.
* still LOVES bath time!
* is feeding himself rather well.
* has tried strawberries, oranges, meats, salad, and chocolate over the last month.
* is drinking very well from the Nuby sippy cups.
* knows the buckles on his highchair, stroller, and car seat have to be undone before he can get out. He likes to try and "help" buckle or unbuckle.
* is starting to recognize his own reflection in the mirror
* is still waking up in the middle of the night.
* loves to play with paper!
* knowingly says "Mama", "Dada", and mimicks several other sounds to where it sounds like he is saying the words.
* has one and a half top teeth.
* has completely stolen our hearts!

Here's a little video we put together to celebrate. James found this cute little song called "Poor Little Cupid" by Joe Dowell.
