nine months old today!

Jonah is nine months old today, which means that he has been out in the world longer now than he was in my belly. That's quite a feat. He still loves to be walked around and only "crawls" out of desparation. It's still more of an army crawl. He doesn't get up on his knees yet. Solid food is not his favorite. If we are lucky, he will have three to five spoon-fulls of something like peas, squash or apricots twice a day. He liked his teething bisquits when I first got them for him, but now they're old hat like the rest of solid food. Oh well. He is still a breast milk fan all the way. He still loves our cats and recognizes cats and dogs in books. His favorite place to be is outside. Jonah loves to touch plants, grass, dirt, hoses, water spouts, and the like. When we let out the cats but not him, he sometimes throws a fit. Yes, he is very determined these days to get what he wants. Oh, and he is just getting over his third cold ever. This one was the mildest one yet. I'm pretty sure he caught it at story time. I caught the bug from him, but it hit me worse. I stayed home from work yesterday, but today feel much better.
