.9 feels like nothing.

Finn,
Baby boy you're 9 months, and somedays it feels like its only been a week.  I wonder why that is because you have changed so much in these 9 short months.  You have really taken off this past month...literally...you are crawling everywhere.  I had stopped even caring when you would get onto all 4's thinking, "you're just going to fall again", and suddenly, just like that, you were crawling.  We didn't get much of the sitting and playing contently stage, but I don't think that it's in your nature to sit still very long.  Despite what everyone has said about it getting harder when babies become mobile, I have really enjoyed watching you explore your ever growing world...it's fantastic actually!  Now that you're moving around you can make it to your new favorite objects, WHEELS.  Of all the new things you have access to, you always go directly to the office chair just so you can sit and touch the wheels.
We are still nursing around these parts, as well as feeding you as much as you will take in, but despite our best efforts you are just destined to be small.  You weighed in at 15.1 today at your check up...putting you below the charts, but luckily still growing in your own small way.
We love this stage...we love that you sleep though the night, and take hard core naps.  We love that you stick your tongue out constantly.  We love that you splash like a maniac in the tub.  We love that you have an orange nose because you love squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, & peaches  We love that you kick, KiCk, KIcK, and KICK all the time (might explain why you weigh so little).  But most of all we just love you!
