Mateo - The Ninth Month

It's on! Mister Mateo is now 9 months old, and we're going through some big changes. We are on the brink of a little walking, talking man ready to wreak havoc on the house. Anything that is at his reach is almost always grabbed or knocked over! I don't know how many almost accidents I've had with plates and glasses. Just yesterday, he discovered our drawer of cables and electronic doodads...he squealed with excitement. Such a boy!

Oh, and have I mentioned he's a hand clapping machine? He also sometimes dances when he hears music. Cracks us up. Paloma loves it!

Mateo realizes he's a real person now. For Mother's Day, he didn't want to be excluded from the picture. Watch out, big sister. There's no eclipsing the little man!

 Our little son in the sky.

 Little mama #2 pushes Mateo on the swing.

Paloma's really happy that Mateo can start playing somewhat now, which gives me a little break at home.

 We've got teeth! Two little sprouters on the bottom are now almost completely out. There are two more coming up from the top. And I'm still breastfeeding. Ahhh!

 He's a really good eater (no more sour face!) and is quite good at self-feeding too.

He can lift himself up now and stand for a few minutes just before his legs shake and falls down. Quite a feat. Paloma doesn't like to miss out on any milestones.

Our little sweetness. I'm totally making him into a mama's boy. What can I say?
