9 months

See his new toy in the background? He was playing with it before the camera came out. It's a 3-in-1 sports center and he loves it. Mainly he just spins the football around and around but he's made a basket a few time.

9 months stats:

Crawls like crazy

Loves to cruise around the room while holding on to things.

Picks up toys off the ground while standing (which often results in a face plant)

Top teeth broke through (Hallelujah!)

In response to "Samuel, say Ma-ma" he says, "Da-da" and then laughs.

Got his first hair-cut Sunday evening (more like a trim) No more bangs!

Has increased his vocab skills to da-da, bah-bah, wah-wah and guh! He usually ends a series of da-da-da-da-da-da's with "eh?" We're afraid he thinks he's Canadian.

Loves other children. So much so that he will try to climb out of the grocery cart to get to them.

Now eats toast, cheerios, chicken and ham as well as all the typical baby fruits and veggies. He love for you to hold an apple slice for him so he can scrape some off with his bottom teeth.

I'm sure there's more but he's up from his nap. Gotta go!
