9 Months! 9 Months? 9 Months!
So, Harlan is now 9 months old, just as long as the time I carried him as he grew to be my baby. Time really does fly...
Harlan is such a smart little fella. He can find all his favorite toys now, when we put them back in the right spots! He doesn't really understand clean up, but big sis and I sing our clean up song and help Harlan put his toys away. His favorites are any cars and trucks and tractors. He finds lots of other things to get into, too! His favorite no-no's seem to be cords, swinging on cabinet drawers, emptying the kitchen drawers, and un-folding laundry. He's all boy!!!
Momma taught Harlan a new game for him, one that originated with big sis Wavy about his age. We like to pass the pacifier, known to us as a 'plug', back and forth. Its like a sweet little kiss, that always gets a big smile. Harlan likes to share, even things that probably shouldn't be shared, like soggy graham crackers and bottles of formula. Silly goosey!
Harlan has really picked up on the concept of talking this last month!
Now he is babbling and jabbering away. He can say "da-da" and we think he is saying "doggie". He definitely thinks he is talking to us, so we just keep on talking to him! He will be competing with big Sis to get words in really soon!
Harlan has learned so much here recently. He can clap his hands (when he wants to!), give high fives, and get a hold of just about anything! He is crawling so fast, you have to chase him around! He is pulling up on everything, cruising furniture, and letting go to stand on his own. I expect first steps in his near future!
We are so proud of our darling boy!
