Porter is 9 Months!

Are you kidding me! 9 months has flown by! How on earth did this happen, my little baby is growing into a little boy. He can now crawl, sit up on his own, go from crawling to sitting and from sitting to grabbing something and standing! It's actually crazy. I'm pretty sure he'll be walking in a few months. Even though he can crawl he still prefers his army crawl. And he's quick. He knows there are a few doors that open in the house to places he doesn't belong and as soon as those open he is on the move as fast as possible. I love his little personality. We have very few bad days, but those bad days are rough. He's working on another tooth and it's almost through. It's crazy, I kind of miss his toothless little grin. He has started eating foods fully solid, bananas, bread, watermelon (which he absolutely loves - just like his mamma).

He's also grown, again. His sleepers are now 9-12 months and his onesies too, but this boy has the smallest little waist! His 6-9 month pants are still loose, you get them to the thighs and getting them over the thighs is hard work, then his little waist won't hold the pants up! Anyway, here are his stats!

Porter M. Whiteley

Age: 9 months

Weight: 18 lbs 14 oz

Height:  29 inches

Wearing: 9-12 month clothing mostly, 6-9 month pants

New developments: Going from crawling to sitting and back again, climbing over everything and everyone. He finally said Mamma! It was the cutest thing in the world. He now says Dada, Mama and Babababa. He can say hey, which is awesome and a few other mumblings. He pulls himself to stand up, on everything and everyone. He has started to hate when I feed him and he only wants to feed himself, quite the independent boy. 

Favorite things: Puppies. For real, any puppy he just loves, real or stuffed! Baths he loves too. He started to cuddle again, which he hasn't done since he was a newborn! It makes me so happy. He also loves to be read to, like really. We started reading to this boy at about 3 months and so he now enjoys his stories (which makes me so glad since both Matt and I love books!)

Favorite clothes: I would have to say his green checked dress shirt that matches Daddy's!
