Today Miles is 9 months old! Can you believe it? He continues to grow and develop at such a fast pace! I love his little personality that is developing! He is such a sweet boy!
This past month Miles got his first tooth! It officially came in on May 19th. We could see it underneath his gum for a long time and kept thinking any day it would come in, but it took its sweet time and finally made its debut in May. He is currently working on getting tooth #2, or so it appears he is.
He is starting to develop some "stranger danger." Sometimes he is happy and cooperative and will go to just about anyone, but if he is in a mood he only wants dad and sometimes mom. He is definitely a daddy's boy!
We've given him some Gerber 3rd foods such as spaghetti and he loves it! He continues to love pretty much everything we give him. We've been giving him more table foods like mashed potatoes and fresh bananas and he loves those too. Since he only has one tooth, we are a little reluctant to give him things that need more mashing...just not sure he is ready for that yet. He tends to choke on things somewhat easy so we are cautious.
He is down to only two naps a day and has an easier time staying awake for longer periods.
He loves to say "dadadadada" over and over, but I'm still not convinced he is using it when he wants dada. He has started to say "nana" and has used it three times where I thought he knew what he was saying and was wanting me, mama. But, I'm not totally convinced he knows what it means either, although nana isn't technically right anyway I guess.
He is getting good at taking steps and walking with us if we hold his hands. One of our family friends bought him a toy that he can push and walk behind to start getting him ready to walk. I was worried it would get away from him too quickly and he would land face down on the floor, but so far he is able to manage it and walks very slowly behind it.
He loves watching "movies" and is particularly partial to the Baby Genius series on our cable on-demand service. We can play the nursery rhymes and songs over and over for him and he will just stand in front of the TV and stare.
He loves to sing. When we put him down for naps or bedtime we sing him songs and he'll often join in. Also at church he likes to sing with the rest of the congregation during hymns.
Because he is 9 mos. we went and had professional pictures taken again. He did a great job! I'll post a few of my favorites later.

He is such a cutie! I can't believe how the time flies. Enjoy every minute - if you don't watch out you will blink and suddenly he will be 3!
So amazing that it's already been nine months!
