All About Henry: 9 months

 Weight: about 20 lbs (we haven't had a doctor appointment 'cause we're in transit.)

Here are some fun things to remember about Henry at this age:

• He is army crawling with perfect form and impressive speed. Unfortunately this leaves the belly of his shirts and onesies filthy. He wants to walk and loves to stumble between Scott and me all by himself. He laughs every time he realizes he's standing without support.
• He says mama and dada with some consistency. He babbles a lot.
• He loves playing with balls.
• He eats like a champ. I don't know how he can eat some of these things without any teeth! We gave him a doughnut a few weeks ago and he took a bite! There was a crescent bite mark left in the doughnut. We looked at each other with amazement and laughed a little, then he did it again cause he had already eaten the first bite! He really loves food and if we're ever eating without him, he'll crawl to us and whimper or grunt until we share with him.
• Recently he's decided he doesn't have the patience to get his diaper changed. He will squirm and sit up at every step in the diaper-changing process. It's a constant wrestling match.

(These pictures were taken two weeks after he turned 9 months, at which point he had abandoned army crawling for knee crawling.)
