It's like we were never apart

I had THE BEST time with my girls from High School today. We all got together and went to lunch and it was an absolute blast. At one point we were in Ashley's minivan singing Taylor Swift. It was just like we were back in High School except we had a baby with us! I didn't realize how much I've missed these girls. :)

"Chipmunking"

Dax likes to put food in his mouth, chew it, and then store it in his cheeks...aka "chipmunking".

Yesterday we went to a BBQ at a friends house and I decided to see if Dax would eat broccoli. I took a tiny piece and put it in his mouth. He chewed it up and it seemed as if he liked it so I gave him another little piece. We spent awhile at the BBQ laughing and talking and when we got home and Kelly was putting Dax in his PJ's he noticed the broccoli was STILL in his mouth. 40 minutes later he still hadn't swallowed his food! Crazy kid. :)

Laughing at the Dog

9 Months

My baby is getting so big. He is starting to look less like a baby and more like a little boy. His cheeks just keep getting bigger (if that is even possible)! We are LOVING this age. Dax now:

Picks up cheerios and puts them in his mouth.
Smiles on cue.
Scoots himself backward (no crawling yet).
Laughs hysterically.
Has gotten taller but stayed the same weight.
Throws his arms out when he wants to be held.
Plays well by himself.
Will eat anything we give him but always makes a funny face at new food.
Drinks from a sippy cup but still prefers his bottle.
Finds his binky and puts it in his mouth all on his own (when should I try to kick that habit?)
Acts shy around strangers.
Is obsessed with my parents dog.
Is a happy, healthy, littly boy.
