Little Liam is 9 months old!!!

That's right, baby boy! You are 9 months old! I can't believe your sweet little face has lit up our lives for 3/4 of a year now!!!  You are such a special part of our little family and we love you so much!

My sweet 9 month old!

It's getting more and more difficult to compare your size to Monkey since you are "aware" of him now! lol

Can you believe you used to be the same size as Monkey??? 

Look how much you've grown!!!

Here's a few of the things we are loving about you right now...

• You are INTO EVERYTHING! lol You are crawling all over the house, checking everything out! You are so funny because you sometimes find yourself in sticky situations and need our help getting out!! ;)
• You are Mr. Social.  You are happiest when you get to smile, giggle, and talk Momma, Daddy, and Connor!
• You get especially excited to hang out with your big brother.
• You certainly object if someone takes something away from you. lol!
• You are sooooooooo nosy! You have to see everything that's going on.  You even try to check on Connor's potty-training! lol
• You are a piglet. (But that's not really new news!)
• You LOVE to crawl around checking out your toys! (and Connor's too!)
• I'm pretty sure you are about to get some more teeth! They haven't made their appearance yet, but you are certainly chewing on everything like it's your job!
• You prefer to roll all over your bed instead of going to sleep! Silly boy!
• You are a hold-me baby all of the sudden! You want Momma to hold you ALL.THE.TIME. (I don't mind some extra cuddles!)
• You talk our ears off! You squeal, coo, and babble all day long!
• We have gone a WHOLE MONTH without an ear infection!! I can't believe it!! KNOCK.ON.WOOD!!!
• At your 9 month check-up, you were 20 lbs. 9 ounces and 29 inches long, which puts you at exactly the 50th percentile for weight and about the 80th percentile for height.  You have met all of your milestones perfectly! Yay!!!
• You are the SWEETEST baby EVER! You have the cutest smile and just melt momma's heart!

Here's some of my favorites of you from this month:
