My Nine Month Pix

Move over, Gerber baby....

When the weather is bad outside....

you need to get creative with a 9 month old.

I'm a real boy

Yup. Complete with cuteness and meltdowns.

Outtakes of me

There's so much video that mommy and abba take of me, that obviously not all of it makes it onto this webpage. Here's some stuff from the past two weeks that didn't make the cut.

Approaching 9 months

...only two days to go! Time sure flies when you're having fun.

High Fives all around

Some updates...

- I have officially ruined my mother's phone. After being my favorite toy, we opened it up yesterday and months of my saliva poured out of the battery. Yuck.

- I am very, very attached to my mommy and abba these days. I give a big frownie face to people I'm unfamiliar with at first...but don't worry; if you play with me I'll be your best friend.

- I can't wait for the warm weather to get the heck out the house!

Enjoy this video of me finally learning to give high five.

A video summary of my first vacation

Of course, my abba and mommy couldn't get a lot of this because it was on Shabbat and Yom Tov, but here's what we did get! Bring me back to Sanibel soon, Zaide - I miss you already.

Wish you were here

So I said that I wasn't going to update the website until after Pesach but thanks to the modern marvels of technology I can do whatever the heck I want. So this has been a vacation of many firsts for me so far (and we've still got some days to go!): I had my first seder, I went in the pool for the first time, played in the sand for the first time, ate yummy chicken for the first time, and flew on a plane! I was so awesome on the plane - nobody believed in me. The only peep I made was the peep in my pants. Even that was pretty clean.

Bags are packed and ready to go

My first vacation! I'm headed to Florida. I'll let you know how I did on the plane when we get back in a week and a half - the blog will be on hiatus until then. Happy Passover everyone!

Drumroll please......

I told you a few days ago that I'd be crawling before Pesach...looks like I'm a prophet!

Rockin it out with Uncle Jonas

A blog first

So this is the first time that I'm putting something on here other than Ethan-related material....but I had to share this since it involves two of my abba's favorite things: baby laughter and the Nintendo Wii.

So close to crawling

If I'm not crawling by this time next week, I'll be very surprised. I can get up on all fours and almost start to stand by myself! When mommy and abba find me in the crib, I'm almost always standing up and banging on the bars like a prisoner. It's really sad for me, but really cute (and irritating) for them.

I love whoozits!

Looking up

Babble in the tub

I am very opinionated, especially when I chill in the tub.

A stand up kind of guy

How cool am I?
