9 Months

Mitchell had his 9 month well baby visit today. He now weighs 22 3/4 pounds (75%) and he is 30 inches long (98%). He got shots today and he didn't cry at all-such a big boy! At 9 months Mitchell's favorite things to do are:
* Stand by himself
* Fake cough
* Wrestle with his Daddy
* Say mama and dada and goy-goy-goy (whatever that means)
* Walk around the living room pushing toys
* Eat chicken and mashed potatoes
* Make kissy noises
* Crawl underneath his exersaucer and bouncy seat
Mitchell's least favorite thing to do is get his diaper changed- he hates to lay still for one second so we have daily wrestling matches. I can't change him on an elevated surface any more because he will dive off if I am not holding him down-this boy has no fear!
Mitchell has now figured out the whole stranger thing. If he thinks we are about to hand him off he gives us the death grip. He is very friendly to strangers unless he thinks they are going to hold him.
Our sweet angel brightens our days. He is the greatest gift. We could not have dreamed of a greater blessing than our Mitchell.
And now the pictures....


Blowing Kisses

Of course he didn't cry when he got shots, his legs are so thick it'd take something a whole lot bigger than a needle for him to feel it!

Mitchell is so cute. I loved reading his list of favorites/unfavorites. It is so neat to see his personality showing, even when he is so young! Enjoy parenthood!
