Mitchell David. 9 Months




Mitchell is an amazing little baby!



Every day I thank my Heavenly Father for sending him to me.



He has grown in so many ways over the last month.


I couldn't have asked for a better son in the entire world.



This month Mitchell has tried lots of new foods:



Brownie Batter

watermelon lollipops


Homemade Sugar Donuts


He has learned some baby sign language:


Here he is signing "MORE" when he was asking for more donuts.

He can also sign "ALL DONE" and "MILK."

Ok, before you wonder what kind of a mother would feed her 8 month old son (age at time pics were taken) you have to know, that he DOES eat all kinds of good foods too, but who needs pics of the healthy stuff? It's the junk food that makes for a good picture.

Mitchell has also learned how to crawl on all four legs, pull up on furniture like a pro (he started this at 8 months) and is now walking along all furniture. If he gets to a "break" in the furniture, he falls to the ground, does a spin to get to the next piece, pulls himself back up and starts again.

He can say "da da" which he obviously doesn't really know what he's saying because let's be honest, he's 9 months old and we all know, kids don't really know what they are saying at this age (I think it's funny when parents think their child is really talking this young), but regardless, if you ask him to say "ma ma," he says, "da da." He says "da da da" for everything. He loves to babble!

He adores his big sisters and puts up with A LOT from them. Madeline like to get him out of his crib and give her mom a heart attack when she does, and Lauren like to climb in the crib and sleep with him. Good thing she is only 28 lbs!

We love our little man, although he's not so little anymore. He is growing so fast and learning so much. Like I said before, I couldn't ask for a better baby!
