Weston's lived in four different places since he's been born, and yet he's not quite 10 months old. But this time, we're here to stay...

Smelling the Roses
 |
| First Valentine's Day |
After nursing Weston, it's way too easy to come home from work, and immediately afterward entertain all the frantic thoughts in my head--"I need to take care of the breast pump stuff before the milk spoils." or "How in the world did a Cheerio get over here? I need to vacuum." or "When's the last time I did laundry?" or "Yikes! Did I pay the credit card bill?" I have to consciously forget about all those things and just spend time on the floor reading Birthday Monsters forward and backward and having Weston climb all over me and pull my hair out and scratch my nose. He's only 9 months old once, and the laundry can wait. So can the floors. And the dishes. And the email. But maybe not the bills...

Happy Nine Months!
As much time out of the oven as he spent time in the oven...
Height: 30 1/3 inches (95th percentile)
Weight: 20 pounds even (40th percentile)
Head circumference: 45.5 centimeters (50th percentile)
I love this kid. Regardless of the fact that he still won't sleep through the night (and that's okay and normal), he makes me laugh on a daily basis. His first word is definitely "da-da." When I ask him, "Where's Dada?", he looks around for Nate, and when he sees him, he very quietly says, "Da-da...Da-da...Da-da."
He's getting very good at pointing to nose and ears when we ask, "Where's Mama's nose/ears?" He'll even do it to some of the animals in his books. He can point to the coconuts in Chicka Chicka Boom Boom when we ask. He's a pro at turning pages when we say, "Turn the page", although he'll get excited and just start turning pages before we say to.
Weston's refining his palate, too. Within the past few weeks, I've been amazed at how he can maneuver his tongue to spit out one chunk of pear in a mouthful of cottage cheese. I'm not sure why he doesn't like pears as of late, but I hope that stops soon.
It's been 2 1/2 months since his last tooth came in. He drools like crazy still, but there are no signs of anymore chompers. And man, can that kid bite! He drew blood on my finger last week, and my shoulder has a steady set of red imprints on it.
