9 months old!

Happy 9 month birthday Pookie Bear!!!!

Max is 9 months old. I have to admit...I am sad. I am sad that the time is just flying by. People tell you how fast time goes once you have children and there is no way to understand this until you actually have a little one. I feel that if I blink I am going to miss something. I am so proud of who he is. He is so happy and eager to learn new things. I am pretty sure he will be walking before I know it. His new thing is to try to stand up with out holding on to something. This makes me a nervous wreck! But he sure is proud of himself and I have to hold back the mommy fear and let him figure out how his little body works.

I was thinking this morning about when I was pregnant. Although I LOVED being pregnant, it was the LONGEST 9 months of my life. I could not wait to have him and hold him and just love on him. I felt like I waited an eternity. Then once you have your precious baby time speeds up. I think that maybe this happens because God is trying to teach us to enjoy the moment and not to dwell in the past or the future. I find myself thinking about his future, his 1st birthday, and what he will learn next. I need to focus on the right now and enjoy and savor all of his 9 month babyness that his has!!!

We went to his 9 month check up this morning and he is just perfect. Thank goodness we didn't have to get shots!!! Do you notice I said we, I think that the shots are more difficult for me:) He has a FANTASTIC pediatrician whom Max just loves. He is only 18 lbs. 10 oz. this is the 10thth percentile. He is 28 in. long and this is the 50th percentile.

Max is a mommy's boy! He seems to want me all the time. I am not complaining, I absolutely love this! He will usually cry if I leave the room, but once I am gone he seems to be just fine.

We took Max to the park yesterday and had a little picnic.
