9 Months

Peyton turned 9 months old today. I feel like my baby is turning into a little boy right in front of my very eyes. His two front teeth are almost completely in, his hair is getting long and curling up and he is probably pushing 24 pounds (if not more). Just in the past week, he started crawling, he is trying to pull up (Ryan saw him pull up on the coffee table and then plop back down on his bottom) and he is eating almost 100% people food (no more purees for him!). He says "mama" constantly, even though he does not understand what it means. I cannot believe he has done all of this in just one week. It is bittersweet for me, I am excited he is growing and learning new things, but a part of me feels it is going by too fast. Considering he was born the size of a two month old, I feel his "baby time" has been very short.

It was a beautiful day, so I took Ashley and Peyton on a long walk and then to the park. Ashley loves to swing and Peyton is getting the hang of it.
