You are now 3/4 of the way through your first year on this earth with us. This month was so busy. You had more firsts, of course.
You have started trying to crawl up things. A few examples are my legs, the couch, and Shorty's stairs.
You had your very first Christmas.
We spent Christmas Eve with Mommy's family. Uncle B and Auntie M got you the cutest sports socks. Grandma let Grandpa pick out toys for you.
Mommy and Daddy got you some new Christmas jammies and a couple of toys with lots of parts.
Then, we started to open presents from people in Oklahoma.
You loved pulling the tissue paper and wrapping paper.
There were so many presents that by the end of the morning, Daddy was opening everything for you and you were ready for a nap.
You at least played with this toy from Santa before falling asleep.
A week later, we celebrated your first New Year! You of course were awesome and went to bed at your normal time. You got to have your first mule rides on January 1, 2016. Even though it was cold, you loved it!!
The next weekend, we did a huge thing: we flew to California on an airplane! It's a really big deal to Mommy since she's heard that some babies hate it. You did so good! You slept/ate during takeoff and landing and you played so quietly during the 3 hour flight. I was so proud of you!
You finally got to meet Mommy's family in California when we went to her cousin's wedding. You met baby E and y'all loved each other right away. You guys tried to hold hands and hug.
You also had your first mohawk too.
When we flew home you didn't sleep as much but you still did great. You didn't cry during takeoff or landing.
You did something a few days later, you did something that made Mommy cry. I was vacuuming the rug and showing you it wasn't scary. You crawled up to me and did this.
You had never done it before! You just rested your head on my legs and showed me love. I'll never forget that.
The next week was Mommy's birthday. You hung out with Grandma and Grandpa while Daddy took me to finally see Star Wars (a month after it came out). We can't wait for you to watch the movies with us. The next morning was my actual birthday. You gave me lots of snuggles as if you knew it was a special day.
On your 9 month birthday, we couldn't go to the doctor and it was MLK day. We'll tell you all about that later. Instead, you mastered using Shorty's stairs. I went to the kitchen to put something in the sink and I came back to this.
You little stinker! Poor Shorty can't get on the couch any more. We can't leave his stairs by the couch because you climb them. Next, he won't be able to get to his food since we will have to block you from it huh?!
We love you very much baby boy. Now I have to start thinking about your birthday party. Stop growing up so fast!!!
