Pierce 9 months

Pierce is 9 months old today. Time continues to fly! He is such a sweet kid and so much fun. We were in Arkansas for the past month and while there he mastered crawling, shaking his head no, feeding himself finger foods and just keeping himself entertained, which is always such a nice skill for a baby to learn. He loves knocking down towers we build for him and playing with balls. He LOVES being in the water and had the best time at Meme's swimming in the big pool and hanging out in the baby pool. He got sick for about a week with a bad little bug and was not quite himself, the poor little guy, but other than that he was really good on our extended vacation. He loves being held by other people as long as he knows that I am nowhere to be seen! He loves snuggling and is sleeping better on his own although the traveling and the illnesses have not helped. He is cutting about 4 teeth and has been for about a month, but is in a pretty good mood most of the time. He loves watching Baby Einstein and also loves the car. He was a champ on all the driving we did in Arkansas and I'm pretty sure he looked forward to it most days just to get some space from some very loving older siblings. He says mama, dada and bye-bye. He can wave and clap. His hair is coming in, but way too white to see from far away. He has such a sweet personality already and we all just love him to pieces and his sweet ways. Happy 9 months little guy! Love you!
