What is happening?

I have no idea how the last 9 months have flown by as fast as they have, but our little mister is 9 months old!  Nine months seems like a big milestone to me because it's just crazy to think he was cooking inside of me for as long as he's been out now.  The other mind blowing thing for me is that for his next well-baby check, he will be a year old!  I can't even stand it.

Here they are, the 9 month stats:

Weight- 19 lbs. 1 oz. 26%

Length- 29.2"  81%

Head- 45.2 cm  48%

A tall and lean machine!  The Doc also estimated that he's gonna be about 6'3". We hope so!  We shall see.

Just entertaining Mom and Dad while we wait for Dr. Johnson.

Treagan brings me and Kelly so much joy!  He's the happiest, silliest, sweetest little guy and we are just so thankful he is ours.  He brightens my day everyday, and honestly makes me want to be a much better person.

Look at him trying to stand up on his own!

First sprinkler run!

Here he is trying on his new life jacket- we can't wait to put it to good use on the boat this summer!

These days he wants nothing to do with crawling or sitting, and everything to do with walking or standing.  He loves that we can play outside so much more, and his favorite thing to do out there is sit on the grass and eat it, or the dirt.  He is 100% boy.  He loves climbing, running, eating, sleeping, playing, making messes and laughing.  His favorite foods are any of the baby fruits (no more baby veggies), cottage cheese, waffles, eggs, yogurt, mac n cheese, grilled cheese, and pured minestrone.  He really will eat just about anything we are eating though, and he really loves going out to eat with us, or with Mommy and friends.  Like I mentioned in my last post, he's got two teeth barely poking through up top, and I think the bottoms are about to make their debut.  I'm excited for him to have teeth so he can eat more of the good stuff. 

Doin what he does best.

Just smoochin on one of his fav. lunch dates, Stella.

That's right.  This crazy monkey can climb the entire flight of stairs!

He loves when I let him on the other side of the gate.  He can get into all sorts of trouble
there.  Notice Holly's tipped over water bowl.  NAUGHTY!

Thank you cousin Stephy for this awesome hand-me-down play table!

I think one of the best parts of parenting is seeing his little personality develop.  Physically, he obviously got Mama's big eyes, and Daddy's cute nose.  But he eats and laughs like Dad, rubs his little feet together like Dad, loves the dog like Dad, and kisses Mommy everyday like Dad does.  He's a very busy body just like Mama, and he tries to be so tough, but will definitely cry when he gets his feeling hurt. . . just like Mom.

Yup, feelings are hurt . . . all because my mean mommy won't let me eat any more dirt!

Trey is always making some sort of noise.  "SSS-SSS, Da-da-da, Ba-ba-ba, Ay-ay-ay, tay, and hi" are usually what we hear.  And. . .  the very occasional "Ma-ma."  He's also got a pretty good raptor call that he does when he's excited. It's to die for.  He tries to whistle to himself when he is focused on something and will wave and wrinkle his nose at anybody that walks by.  He pulls up on everything and is starting to cruise from one place to another.  I love it when he crawls up to my feet and puts his arms up for me to hold him. He still enjoys tubby time, but hates getting his diaper changed because he just doesn't seem to have time for it!   Another thing Trey has started doing just in the last few days is dance.  Anytime music comes on he stops whatever he is doing and bounces up and down.  We sing, "Go Teago, go Teago, shake your booty!!"  And he thinks he's pretty smooth.

Busted.

Watching Baby Signing Time and attempting to learn the sign, "eat."

Happy 9 months to our handsome little boy!  We love you little best friend!
