9 Months Old!?!

Okay, I am having a hard time with Timmy's "birthday" this month, this one is a real milestone to me! I can't believe he's been out for as long as he was in! He has changed and grown sooo much in these short nine months, sometimes I feel like it's funny that I feel proud of him for learning to sit up, or now stand up, unassisted, just because that's what he feels like doing. But, remembering back to how completely helpless (though vocal) he was when he was first born, it's unreal! Anyways, here are some pictures and videos of Timmy on his 9 month birthday!!! You can see that he is a very busy little boy!

Chasing after Riggins for his Bone

Eating Daddy's Cell Phone

Stretching for the Laptop

Playing with Daddy

Cuddling with Mommy

And not so patiently waiting for his bottle!



Happy Saint Patrick's Day!!!

Our Anniversary

Last weekend Tim and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary. I can not believe how quickly the time has gone, especially this last year! We celebrated with dinner and a play by the Shakespeare Company on March 5th, our actual anniversary, and then took Friday off to go to the Baltimore Aquarium together. It turned out to be an extra special trip for me because I was selected to be the Dolphin Show volunteer!!! I got to give a command for the dolphin to do a trick and then 'meet' her by petting her belly! She was so rubbery and I was, for some reason, very surprised to see that she had a belly button! Below are some pictures of our day at the aquarium and the gifts we gave each other. For the fourth anniversary, the traditional gifts are fruit and flowers.

And Flowers for Tim's Aquarium

Standing???

Well, Timmy has a new trick, as of yesterday he can pull himself up to a standing position! He managed to do this in his crib and against the baby gate, repeatedly, last night. We have enjoyed having the happiest, easiest going baby ever so far, but I'm afraid he's about to turn into a handful! He's growing up way too fast!!!!

8 Months Old and places to go!

So Timmy spent his 8 month birthday officially crawling. He's been on the verge for awhile but last Friday he took his first real 'crawls' (?) trying to follow me into the kitchen. It took me a moment to realize the movement at my ankles wasn't one of our pets! So far Timmy's favorite things to crawl to are wires and chords, followed closely by cell phones and the remote control, and then to anything else he shouldn't be playing with. We will finally be doing that serious baby proofing this weekend!

I have noticed in the last few days that Timmy is looking like a big boy, some of these pictures he looks way too grown up for my liking!

Sooo Close!

Here are a few videos of Timmy, the first is just him being cute, the second he's attempting to crawl and get Mommy's cell phone!

7 Months Old

Well Timmy is keeping us very entertained with his attempts at crawling. He is getting sooo close, he gets up on his hands and knees and rocks, but he hasn't figured out the moving part quite yet, well, at least the moving forward part! He is definitely getting around with a combination of rolling and inch worming. Baby proofing is not far off! For his 7 month birthday we went to celebrate his cousin Dylan's 2nd birthday and Timmy got to spend the evening playing with all the other kids.
