Here Comes Trouble...

Our baby boy is already 9 Months Old! I can't believe in 3 months we're going to be having his 1st birthday. He's growing and changing so much. He's definatly getting taller. His 6-9 month pants are high-waters now. He's still 20 lbs. though.
He's had a few bad colds recently, and therefore isn't sleeping through the night at all. He's up anywhere from 2-10 times. But... he's doing better at going to bed early. He was staying up between 9 and 10pm, but now goes to sleep between 8 and 8:30pm. Most of the time he even goes to sleep on his own too :-)
He's still really good at eating. He loves anything and everything. He's still eating baby food but then also wants everything from my plate too. His favorite foods are zucchini, broccoli, sweet potatoes & bananas.
He's "crawling" a lot faster now. He still does the army crawl though. He won't get up all the way. He's getting into EVERYTHING now. I can't leave him in a room alone or this is what happens..
or I come into the room and find him under the end table like this...

So.... we put up the cage... I mean the activity center :-)

But then he just stands up and cries til I return...
He's perfectly fine standing on the outside of it, as long as he's not closed in...

He still won't hold his bottle. He's lazy, lol... and I had to get stuff done, so I just propped it up with a pillow, turned on Sesame Street, and was good to go...
For the most part he's very happy and making these chessy faces...
Our heater isn't working, so I had to bundle him up nice and warm while Aaron was trying to get it fixed... 50 degrees in the house is cold...
He's gotten very good at walking along furniture. He even thinks that he can walk and will just start moving, and fall down (he got 2 bruises on his face in one day). But... he can now lean down and pick something up that he's dropped without falling...
