9 months old. Where did the time go?

Our baby is nine months old...nine months old!  I can hardly believe it!  Since the last time I posted, he's gotten 3 more teeth, for a total of 6.  (All in one weekend, mind you.  And I can't say the 3 weeks prior were a whole lot of fun, either; there was a lot of whining and fussing involved.  Poor baby. :( )  He's trying very hard to figure out how to crawl and pull himself up.  He gets around pretty good by scooting and rolling.  He's especially good at laying on his back and arching up to slide across the floor on his head, pushing with his feet.  It's pretty funny. 

We have another helmet appointment coming up on the 23rd, and this time we'll actually be seeing the specialist.  He should be able to give us a better idea of when the helmet will be coming off.  I'm hoping he'll say its as good as it will get already and will change the rest on its own.  I'm really trying to not get my hopes up, though. 

Well, here are photos and a couple videos:

[Toy corner!  Sooo much better now that it's organized!]

[He loooooves puffs!]

[Sleeping on our way to SLC]

[He had fun in the box.]

[Oh, just lounging on his piano.]

[We got to see Jen for a little bit in Winnemucca!]

[He just recently started doing this.  Makes us laugh.  It's his "bye, bye" sometimes, too.]

[This is how he wakes up from every nap.  It's my favorite. :)]

We hope you are all doing great!  Until next time...
