9 months!

Wow! Time is going by so quick! This past Thursday Talent turned 9 months old. For me it brings such a mix of emotions. I'm so excited to see him growing and watch all of his new developments. But at the same time I just want to stomp on the brakes! It seems like yesterday we were finding out about him. I can still feel the little flutters of him moving inside my body. It just is a bittersweet feeling watching him grow. I love it and hate it all at the same time.

This week we've spent a lot of time together as a family. Just doing stuff with each other. We've played toys and gone to the park. We have tried our dangdest to get the kid to do something other than belly crawl. He's a stubborn little cuss. He comes by that honestly. (If you know his patents you know I'm not joking.) he finally got up off his tummy tonight.....when Seth had to go back to work. Luckily I captured it for him with my phone and was able to send it to him.

In other news, Talent has been feeding himself finger foods. He loves noodles and oranges. Froot Loops are a pretty big hit too. He loves exploring his little high chair world and tasting new things. It's fun to watch.

The last 9 months have been great. Being a parent is awesome. Knowing that this little person loves you so much.....well it's a great feeling. Right now one of my very favorite things his when I get up with him to feed at night and I'm rocking him back to sleep he will put his hand up and touch my face very softly just before he drifts off as if to say "just checking if you're still there" and then he falls asleep. It's the little things that mean so much. Gosh I love this kid. Anyway here is a picture I took of the three of us Thursday. Here's to the next few months!
