Peter

Guess who's 9 months!

Peter is growing so fast and I'm not just talking about size either.  This kid is a smarty pants and adorable to boot.  Not a good combo when he needs to be disciplined.

Last week we could put Peter down in the middle of the floor and have no worries that he would move.  Then everything changed.  I put him down, turned and walked a bit away then turned and found him at my feet.  What!?  I moved him back and then happened to look back and this kid was on the move.  Crawling!  This is where the adorable and smarty pants cross paths.  He'll take off towards the movies or something else he isn't suppose to be in and I'll call his name.  He stops, turns to look at me and then laughs and takes off again.  The chase is on.  Me trying to catch him before he makes a mess and him laughing all the way.  He can cross the house in no time and I'll often find him missing and have to go find him because I've turned my head for a second.

He's been crawling so much the last week that his knees and shins are red and chapped.  So he now gets up on his toes and elephant walks.  This kid is going to be walking so soon.

I love this boy so much.  So glad he is a part of our family.
