9 Months Old

Zaner! 

It's hard to believe another month has past. You, again, never cease to amaze your dad and I. You are the cutest thing we've ever seen and we love your big personality!  

This month I told you almost daily, "You're all boy!" as you aggressively did your signature move where you pump your hands up and down in a tight first along with some loud chanting.  Sometimes it's with high pitch squealing and other times it's with manly grunting.

You like to make lots of sounds including a few tongue/spitting moves,.....

squeals,...

...gibberish, and lots of giggles.

You're a walking machine with a little assistance, and you prefer standing over sitting.  It's exhausting (for me, but apparently not you).  The walking has caused you to stay at 23 pounds this month.   Your a tall boy at 30", which is in the 95th percentile!

You don't like being on your tummy more than a minute so don't let this picture fool you.

  

Your kisses...

...and model poses attract the ladies.

Riese is unbelievably tolerable of you, and therefore, I try to be tolerable of her. 

You now have four teeth (top two and bottom two) and your working on cutting two more on the bottom; consequently, you like to put everything in your mouth.  

You continue to look up.  You should know the word "light" by now because I sign and say it to you several times a day.

We had a wonderful 8th month with you!  You are so wonderfully made by our Creator- never forget it!  

XOXO,

Mom (and Dad)
