It's so hard to believe Beckett is nine months old. (I have probably started each monthly birthday post with the same opening line, and I will probably be saying that when he is 16, and 20, and 40, and so on...) But really, 9 months? He's the light of our lives and his personality grows more each day.
So here's what he's up to these days:
- Cruising all over the place. He's taken a couple of wobbly steps between Shonn and me, or to the couch, but mostly, he wants to hang on to things.
- Eating some table foods. He loves meats - ham, chicken, steak (we went out for dinner last night and he had a little of my steak to celebrate his bday), and even venison. He feeds himself but has a little difficulty making it to his mouth every time.
- Smiling, laughing, babbling (we have the recognizable mama and dada, but not really in association with us...).
- Recognizing objects ("Where's Lexi?").
- Recognizing himself in the mirror.
- Reaching for faces - especially baby faces! (He will "kiss" real babies and also babies in books. We have no idea where he learned this!)
- Showing favoritism toward certain toys (Also known as "do NOT try to take this little ball out of my hand unless you want to hear me scream!")
- Playing independently. (He loves to focus on manipulating small objects and also banging things to make noise.)
- Splashing and loving bathtime. (He really loves his mini rubber duckies and also this floating, singing duck Uncle Jay got him for Christmas.)
- Snuggling.
- Singing.
