Nolan is 9 Months

On Wednesday Nolan turned 9 Months, so today we went to get his 9 Month photos. He did a great job and we got some really cute shots. When we got to the studio he was wearing his "Rangers" shirt, so the photographer suggested we take a few cute baseball themed photos. They turned out great, but they were a bit tricky to get a shot because Nolan kept chewing on the baseball.
With Rylee we were so excited for each stage of her life to come, that it seems like her first year of life did not go quickly, but with Nolan it seems like the first year is flying by. We are just as excited for each stage of life with Nolan, but we are busier than we were three years ago and it seems like with each blink of my eye he is developing more and more.

At 9 Months Nolan loves:

• Feeding Himself
• Pulling up on everything
• Scooting along the couch
• crawling everywhere and trying to master up the stairs
• Babbling up a storm
• playing peek-a-boo and "so big"
• putting everything and anything in his mouth
• banging toys together
• hanging from the bar at My Gym by himself
• the swing at the park
  
• pestering his sister
• trying to drink from a sippy cup
• chewing on everything and drooling
• giving himself his bottle
  

He is still toothless, but from the amount of drool I believe a tooth will becoming in the next few weeks. He is extremely happy and content. Nolan is very independent even at 9 Months. He does not like to snuggle and rock before bed, just get him ready and lay down. He plays with his toys great and can entertain himself. He hates to get dressed, hold still for me to change his diaper, and to be alone in a room.
Nolan thank you for the smiles and the happiness you bring us.
