9-Month David

David is a very happy, content, and social baby.  He loves to smile and babble when he meets new people.  He is extremely easy-going and trusting with others.  He is definitely a go-with-the-flow baby.

New Developments In The Last 2 Months

• He can pull himself up into both sitting and standing positions.
• He has become a speed crawler.
• He can climb stairs.
• He eats lots of finger foods now, including vegetables and cheese.
• He has mastered his pincer-grasp.
• He takes baths in the big bathtub now.
  

Little quirks:

• He is obsessed with finding things on the floor.  Any little piece of paper or plastic ends up in his mouth. 
• He loves bouncing up and down while sitting on his legs.  It looks like he's trying to hop like a little frog.
• He LOVES climbing stairs.  He just learned how to do this in mid-July, and he won't quit! It's now his favorite thing to do.
• He likes to pinch Mama when he nurses.  Mama does NOT like this new habit.
• He loves to drink water in a sippy cup, but he refuses bottles and formula.  Apparently those are nasty things.
• He is far from being a picky eater.  He eats everything given to him, including vegetables.  Cheese appears to be his favorite finger food.  He always eats that up the quickest.
• He says "Ma-ma" when he's sad or hungry.
• He loves playing with phones and remotes.  As soon as he spots them he's after them!
