Chunk a Munk is 9 Months Old!

He was actually 9 months old on the first...little late I know. It seems like he has done so many new things in the last couple weeks! He can really get around much easier and faster. He's still doing the combat crawl, but has gotten really good at it. I wonder if he will go right to walking instead of crawling like Mattie did. He really likes playing with his toys. He likes to clap two of them together and make some noise! Here he is pushing his ball and crawling after it, then pushing it again and getting it again etc....
He loves his firetruck toy from Aunt Bobbi and Uncle Matt and cousin Jake. He likes all the sounds it makes, but he also likes to turn it over and play with the wheels and figure out how they work. Such a boy!He has learned to pull himself up and walk along the couch.

He also pulls himself up onto his toys.
He loves to read and turn the pages by himself. His favorite books are the touch and feel books and he really likes his "Animal Babies in the Seas" book. It's very colorful and he especially likes the clown fish page!He likes to get ahold of my magazines and tear the pages to shreds. How fun!
Here he is with his teething toy and a smile as usual. Another tooth just popped through on the top left side. He's been drooling like crazy but still happy!
He doesn't really suck his thumb much anymore:( I was hoping that would stick...it's SO cute! He has gotten pretty attached to his paci. When he sleeps, he has to have his paci and a spit up cloth to cuddle with instead of a blankie. His big sister Morgan slept with a spit up rag too and sometimes still does! Don't tell her I told you though.
One of the cutest things is how much he LOVES his sisters! He just lights up as soon as they get home from school and wants to play with them. The girls love him just as much. I just love watching the bond they are forming. SO sweet!
