9 Months!!!

Last week our little Port turned 9 months old!  We've been crazy busy, so I haven't had a chance to post his sweet pictures and fun facts.  Here are some fun things Porter is doing at 9 months:

Crawling EVERYWHERE, and at lightning speed

Pulling up to his knees

Eating with his fingers

Using his sippy cup, but only if we turn it up for him

Has 2 new top front teeth to add to the 2 bottom ones (his Christmas present came early)

Raises both arms up over his head when he's excited

Doesn't like to be left alone

LOVES books still, and turns pages one at a time

Starting to love all table food

Favorite foods: yogurt, sweet potatoes, carrots, ALL fruit, puffs, chicken casserole, anything off our plates

Still sleeping 10-12 hours each night with 2 naps during the day

I'm sure I will remember a lot more new fun facts about him tomorrow, but this is what I can think of right now.  And now, what you all really want, some sweet Porter pictures at 9 months of age (these may be my favorite pictures in the chair yet):

Sweetest boy around

Shh...I have a secret to tell you.  I'm cute.

And this picture and the next one blew my mind.  Here he was sitting on the edge of the chair like a big boy, and then...

He scooted his legs and bottom off, then stood up.  WHAT!?!?!  Tell me no.  As you can see, he was very proud of himself.

And here is a little bit about what we've been up to:

We've played outside and taken some pictures:

We've played with cousins:

And we've played with friends at a church hayride:

Have a wonderful, happy Thanksgiving week!!!  

Lots of Love,
