Nine months old!!!

Happy Birthday Tank!

Three quarters of a year gone by...the countdown to the big 1.0 has begun!

Scott is a delight. He giggles and laughs, plays games and loves eating "real people" food. (Which he does with gusto now that he has 6 teeth!)

Chicken, edamame, cream of chicken soup, green beans, watermelon, cream of wheat breakfast cereal and cheese are leading favorites... and now he's not only crawling, but pulling himself up and standing upright.

This is how I found him in his crib this week...


He apparently likes his newfound perspective -- last night he tried to stand up in his bath-tub -- without holding on to anything. (Yikes.)

He's literally into everything. He crawls into the coffee table, bumps his head and keeps going. He loves anything that makes noise - the louder the better.

These Evil Knievel tendencies have already given us his first battle scar. Yesterday afternoon, daycare called to tell me Scott had (successfully) pulled himself up while holding on to a small wooden table in the room. Only problem? He tried to grab a toy, let go, lost his balance and fell forward into the table.

Then he tried to do it again, 'cause, you know, one knock to the noggin just isn't enough.

He's got a nice big puffy pink mark that will no doubt turn into an awesome bruise under his right eye.

So in honor of his first nine months on this earth, we had our requisite "birthday" photo session this morning. Here's this month's winning pic:

Model perfect pose and smile


And the outtakes:

Haven't I seen you around somewhere before?

Really, mom? Again??

That's it. I am OUTTA here.

And just because I love them: Scott's first "school" photos...taken at daycare.
