9 MONTHS OLD...YIKES!

On Tuesday my little angel turned 9 months old. I can't believe we have had him with us as long as I was pregnant! (the pregnancy seemed soooo much longer) We are getting ready to leave for the beach today and I can't wait to see him in action there. I didn't get a good shot of him looking at the camera but there are still some cute ones here.

Richter is doing so much right now and learning new things every day. He gets very proud of himself when he puts a smaller stacking cup into a larger one. (I'm pretty impressed too) And just this morning he drank his entire bottle holding it himself! I took a video of it and will post it soon. He is so funny when he wants to take something with him from point A to point B he just puts it in his mouth and takes off crawling. He looks like a momma dog carrying her puppies. It's pretty cute. We love to brush our teeth (thank goodness) and snack time is happy time. Richter has tried a lot of big people food now and likes just about everything, including guacamole!! He had his 9 month check up Wednesday and weighs 19 lbs. and 10 oz. and is 28 inches long. He fits comfortably in 6-9 month clothes (or 6-12 mo. or 9 mo depending on the brand). He is loving his new crib and no longer comes in our room in the mornings for the last hour of sleep.

I don't know what I did before I became a Mommy! I love it so much.
