Nine months and counting...

Aiden is now nine months old and he is ready to go out and take on the world. He is feeling much better from his stint with the ear infection. He is finally eating normally which means no more runny puddle poop! Hooray! He is still taking the Amoxicillin but actually gets kind of excited when I take it out of the fridge and shake it. He has always been good with taking medicine, but the 10+ times a day with the syringe in his mouth between the Tyelnol and Motrin just pushed him over the edge. Now with the twice a day, he is doing much better and doesn't think the spoon full of food is an abominable medicine.

As far as new things, he is starting to wave to people when they greet or leave him, which is adorable. And he is starting to interact so much more. He will honk your nose and laugh and laugh and laugh, and one of his favorite teasers is to get Momma's hair and tickle her face with it and he loves picking noses. If you cradle him in your arms, almost always his little fingers are up at your mouth and nose playing around and if he gets a finger stuck up your nostril, he'll just let it hang out there until you take it out. I don't get it, it's just one of his things. He's a crazy kid.

He is also starting to understand that when we tell him that we're gonna get him, fun will shortly ensue. He tucks his head down and brings his hands up to his face in anticipation of the tickling that is to come. It's fun.

He is also playing favorites and loves to be held, for short periods of time. He will crawl all around the room, and then out of no where try to get up on the couch into Momma's lap and he will just hang out for a few minutes and fuss if I try to put him back down, and when he gets his fill of cuddling time, he will fuss if I don't put him down. I love how sweet he is.

He loves to receive kisses. If you kiss him once and pull away, he will push his head into your mouth letting you know that one wasn't enough and when he thinks you've kissed him enough, he'll pull away and go about his business.

We were going to have a Doctor's well-visit tomorrow, but since he is freshly on antibiotics, they pushed it back to Friday, so we'll find out then what percentile etc. he is in.

P.S. Check back soon because there will be pictures to go with the commentary.
