RJ is 9 months

Reid Philip at 9 months

Our little RJ (Ross Jr as he is sometimes called) is 9 months...already! Reid looks so much like Ross it's crazy, but he's just as sweet as his daddy too! He is getting to be such a little man.

This picture really reminds me of Ross' baby pics.

At 9 months we are:
1. Reid finally made it to his knees, but after 5 seconds it's man down. He gets in a few rocks before he goes down so I'm sure it won't be long until he's crawling.
2. Added "mama" to his vocabulary and the infamous "na-na", whether he's shooting for "banana, no-no, or Nana" I'm not sure yet. ;)
3. His favorite time of day, hands down is bath time! He LOVES his little bath chair and just gives happy squeals before we put him in the tub. He loves banging his toys on the tub and kicking those little legs.
4. Which leads to his second favorite thing to do: Swim! We love going to the pool. Reid does a great job floating in his baby raft and Luke prefers to stay in the little kid pool. We've have a great time this summer going to the pool to cool off and burn some energy.
5. His favorite foods are still pears, but he can't quite get ahold of the diced ones, slippery little suckers. He also loves Baby Mum Mums (which I didn't know existed with Luke), but I love them too because there is a lot less mess. He is still not a huge fan of green veggies, but we're working on it.
6. Has become quite the stomach sleeper and loves to curl up with his blanket...just like big brother did at this age (and still does).
7. He's got legs! And he knows how to move them. Reid can kick up quite a storm,whether it be sitting in his rocker, his carseat, the bath or the pool. He gets those legs pumping and really tones them...as seen below.

"Mom, stop talking about my legs!"

8. Reid is very attentive...when he wants to be. As soon as this little man is up he is looking everywhere to find Luke. And then when he's eating, he's making sure his line of sight includes Luke. I guess I should just say, he loves Luke and can't get enough of him. Even when Luke takes a toy from him, or bonks him on the head (sometimes not accidentally), Reid would always choose to be with Luke.
9. Weighs 21 lbs (50th percentile) and 23 inches long (50th percentile)...he's just an even keeled kinda guy...and I like it!

"See ya later!"
