Samuel - 9 Months

The day you turned 8 months, it snowed!  We bundled you up and took you outside so you could see what that white stuff was all about.  I think you would have been just as happy indoors :).  Nevertheless, we got some pictures of you with your first snow before Mommy had to go to work, since snowfall is few and far between here in Mississippi! 
 
This month you have really started crawling and can go just about anywhere you want to go!  By the end of your 8th month, you had started to pull up on things.  Watch out world!!  You tried lots of new foods this month, including avocado, watermelon, eggs, pancakes, and a little pasta.  You still love your pureed fruits and veggies, sippy cups of apple juice mixed with water, and your bottles.   I think sippy cups may be your favorite before too long, but for now you still take a bottle easily.   You typically sleep from 9-10 hours a night, although at the beginning of this month you went through a wonder week and woke up several times a night for a few nights.  After the wonder week was over, you learned to crawl and started 'talking' more, so the sleepless nights were worth it :).

Ready for church!


We love Saturday lunch with Daddy!
You got to see your Uncle Doug catch a fish, and you saw your first ever bream up close and personal.  You thought it was funny :).

Hey, y'all!

You went to see your 'cousin' Maya this month!  She is just over 4 months younger than you, and I am excited you two will grow up together.  You had lots of fun, and tried to hold her hand a lot :).

Maya and Samuel
Your 'Aunt' K'Anna got married this month, and we had you all decked out in a white button up with a tie, a blazer jacket and a hat!  There are a good many pictures from that night, so I will save it for another post. 

Daddy's birthday was this month, just 2 days before you turned 9 months old.  His birthday is on Valentine's Day, and we celebrated big this year!  More about that on my next month's post since we had his party the day you turned 9 months :).  But Daddy was super sweet and thought of mommy on his birthday!  I got beautiful flowers, and a pedicure gift card!
