NINE Months Old

Graham turned nine months old yesterday, and although I did fail to post yesterday, I took pictures to document the big day. I don't feel like a whole lot has changed since eight months, but I do believe Graham is just getting more social, more hungry, more attached to Momma, and more precious. He wakes up in the mornings around 7, chows down some Momma milk and then a good amount of breakfast before playing with his toys in the living room. He is completely happy just sitting there with his basket of toys pulling them out and putting them back in...over and over again. He doesn't love being on his belly, but he is starting to actually act interested in moving. He's gotten up on all fours a few times, and he looked like he wanted to army crawl today. He rotates on his belly, kicks those legs, and I think crawling (or some other kind of mobility) is not too far around the corner. I just hope it holds off until after our week at the beach at the beginning of July. Sand in mouth all week long if he is a new crawler.
Little G-Man naps around 8:30 or 9, and he sleeps for an hour and a half or two. More Momma milk at 11, lunch soon after, and then afternoon nap commences at 1...same time as sister's. That's a wonderful thing. Around 3, Grahamy gets more Momma milk, plays, talks, gets amused by Sister, and then eats dinner around 5 or 6. Bath, story, Momma milk, and bed happen between 6:30 and 7.
Tonight we had family pictures done, and I CANNOT wait to get them back. Reese had lots taken on her own, then it was Graham's turn, and dang, he's cute. Family pictures were last on the agenda, and I am certain we got some keepers in there.
Graham has started saying "Da Da" a lot, reaching for Momma, and LOVING sister. He smiles all the time and especially when Reese talks to him. We had her talk to him tonight during pictures, and he just lit up with those big dimples and grin. He laughs out loud, and it melts my heart.
Here are a few pictures that I took yesterday...
