Colin is nine months old already! His personality is really starting to come through. He is mostly contented to do the same old same old in that unlike some of his peers, meaning he still just wants to hang out on his back. He hates being on his stomach and will flip right away to his back. No crawling or trying to crawl yet! He is starting to sit up more reliably now. Just in the past couple of days we have been able to get him to sit for longer periods on his own. When he is done, however, he makes it known and lays down however he can! He loves to grab whatever he can while you are holding him and it usually goes straight to the mouth. He also loves to play with teething toys mostly, since he is such an oral kid that they always go in his mouth, although, I have seen him playing with the tags on toys as well. He also has his first two teeth that are still making their entrance. We have yet to get any good pictures of them, though. They will make for a great smiling shot when we can get it! He also LOVES to eat as I have posted before. I didn't have any food for him this last week when I ate at a friend's house and she made him some instant oatmeal. It was apples and cinnamon and she made two packets. He ate it all down, plus a couple of bites of yogurt! This child is going to be all about the food, hopefully he will stay a great eater! We have yet to have his well check, it's one week from today, so I will report back then.
He was having fun with his tongue the other day!

Hanging out with some cousins.



He decided he was done (or perhaps just lost his balance) and plopped his head right into Brooke's dessert! So funny!
