9 Months Already?!?!?

Today Steven is 9 months old. It's weird to think that only 3 months from now he will be a year old! In the past few weeks, he has gotten his two upper teeth. Along with those new arrivals, he has discovered a new use for them: grinding. He will grind his top and bottom teeth together & make the most HORRIBLE noise. He is getting much better at walking but is not quite on his own yet. He balances really well with just one hand on something & we won't be surprised if by his 10-month mark he'll be walking. Below are some pictures and a few videos as well :)

Nice face, huh?



He does this thing where he opens his mouth as wide as he can (usually with a scream) & even pulls his upper lip in beneath his teeth. This picture really doesn't do it justice



Parents, lock up your daughters! Those blue eyes are going to be trouble! ;)

Oh, Steven is obsessed with the bath now. Literally, even if he is lightly asleep, if you turn on the water, he will bolt right up & want to get down from his crib. From there, he will commence to pull everything down within reach from the sides of the tub & attempt to crawl in. If the shower's actually on, he will get himself & the floor very wet before he's done.



We took him to the pool the other day & he pretty much just splashed for 45 minutes straight.

He also puts his hand in his mouth & makes a similar noise as the one above. In the middle, you can also hear him grinding his teeth. Ew.
