Nash…
Did you notice I forgot to write an 8 month post? Well if you would ever stop moving, I might just have the energy to blog in the evenings! I’m just kidding…but really, stop moving so much. Here’s what’s been going on these days in your crazy little, ever-changing world…
Your mobility is insane. You crawl (fast), climb stairs, cruise, push walkers…and I’ll be pretty surprised if you’re not taking some steps in the next month or so. You just seem entirely too young for all this toddler business!
You’ve got a thing for women’s jewelry. Poor Gigi can hardly get your attention because you’re always so focused on how you’re going to steal her bracelet or necklace!
I’m proud to say that you said your first word last month and it was “Momma”! I know people say that babies your age don’t really know what they mean when they say the word, but I would beg to differ in your case. If I leave the room you will use your most desperate voice to yell “ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-MAAAAA!” Then I walk back in and you just smirk 🙂 I think second children probably reach this milestone faster because they hear their older siblings saying “Mommy” approximately 1,568 times a day. Either way, it’s music to my ears!
Your two favorite toys: a tube of mascara and a sunscreen stick. I have no idea what the appeal is, but you are truly attached. And should someone try to take your beloved toys away, you let out a screechy scream of disapproval! It’s really pretty cute.
One of your new nicknames this month is “garbage disposal”. You’ll eat anything (literally–there’s not been one thing you’ve tried that you didn’t scarf down) and your seem to never be full. I have to say though that it’s pretty cool to put green beans in front of a child and watch them actually EAT them! I’m just scared to know what my grocery bill is going to be like in 10 years!!
Sleep is still pretty good. With the exception of a few nights while traveling, you’ve been going to be around 7:00 am and waking up at 6:00 am. I wouldn’t be mad if you tacked on a extra hour in the morning, but I guess I can’t complain 😉
You get shy around new people and burrow your head into my shoulder. It’s probably my favorite thing…ever.
You started waving “bye bye” and will occasionally say it too.
You have a knack for finding tiny things to put in your mouth. We need to pick a new place for Arden’s cash register, considering you’ve mastered the art of opening the drawer and stuffing 5 coins in your mouth in 3 seconds flat. Such a little stinker!
You love to bang on any and every flat surface…and you’re proud of your loud noises too.

We’ve spent the whole summer at the pool and you have a nice little farmer’s tan to show for it. Arden and me? We’re one solid color–white. Consider yourself lucky that you got the Italian genes and not the Danish ones!
Arden is still your favorite. When she wakes up (you know, a good TWO hours after you do) and we head to her room, you start kicking your feet and squealing…you just can’t wait for me to open that door so you can see your best bud.
Not that I haven’t loved every month leading up to this, but nine months is really such a magical age. You’re learning so much every day and letting your sweet personality shine through. You really are just the best baby…and something tells me this is just beginning!
Love you little dude,
Mom
Precious boy, I love him!
