Trip to San Diego

Adam's trip to San Diego was an eventful one. Most importantly, we were attending the wedding of Aunt Jenn & Uncle Mike. Here's a shot of Adam dancing with Aunt Jenn and admiring such a beautiful bride.

Aside from the wedding festivities, we found some time to relax at the pool.




We also had a nice dinner out to celebrate Grandma Pam's birthday.

The weather was beautiful. Adam loved being outdoors again. Congrats to the newlyweds!!


We were all sad for the trip to end. Adam really enjoyed his first visit to San Diego.

Nine Months Old

Here are the highlights at month nine:

• Adam is BUSY! He is constantly on the move and trying to get his hands on everything. Diaper changes and getting dressed each day are a challenge.
• He crawls on all fours now (versus the army crawl).
• He pulls himself up on furniture and can stand for a few seconds on his own. He has a few bumps and bruises to show for this new skill.
• Adam is very independent. He refused the baby food we tried to feed him, but loves eating table food because he can feed himself and gets to eat many of the same things we do. He has six teeth so he is pretty good at chewing. Some favorite foods are: waffles, cheerios, yogurt bites, and drinking water from his sippy cup.
• He still loves to lead us around the house while we help him walk. He especially loves taking us down in the basement, to the broom closet where the vacuum is stored, and to the bathroom where he likes to brush his teeth. We visit these spots multiple times a day.
• He is more consistently taking two naps a day, but still doesn't sleep through the night.
• Adam drools as much as ever. We are constantly changing bibs.
• Adam loves the outdoors. He doesn't seem to mind the cold, dreary weather and he definitely brightens our days too!

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to my grandpa. I like it when you chase after me and try to tickle me.

Adam's First Truck

Little boys love trucks and Adam is no exception. He received this ride-on truck as a gift and it has been keeping him busy. Even the box provided entertainment, especially for us as we watched him crawl into it.

Little Monkey

Adam has begun pulling himself up and/or climbing on everything. This is how we have been finding him after waking up from a nap. Looks like it is time to lower the mattress all the way and take the mobile out.

Relaxing

Fun Weekend

Aunt Jenn was home for a weekend with the girls, but Adam was able to spend lots of time with her too. We wish you were closer!
