9 Month MacKay

Oh My Goodness!
Where did the time go?
And how come he won't sit still long enough for me to get some decent pictures?

This is what happened on October 3rd... Whitney just doesn't shy away from the camera...








Attack...



This is what most of the pictures looked like:  MacKay trying to crawl off the couch, head turned to the side or sucking on that lion...



Oh Bubba!
9 months with you has been wonderful. 
At 9 months you are:
-21 lbs 11 oz (67%)
-27.5 inches (22%)
Head:  46.5 cm (81%)
(Getting a little taller, eh?)

At 9 Months, MacKay, you are:
-Sleeping 10-12 hours each night without food.  (Started waking up a bit this past month due to our travels and a cold.)
-Are officially not wanting to breastfeed anymore.  I had a very sad time trying to get over this.  Now, I am just trying to be positive about the whole thing.  
-Army crawling like a worm to get just about everywhere.
-Have been in many states... OH, UT, TX, WV, PA, NY, DC, VA, MD... there might be another one, but I can't think of it right now.
-Take 2 naps (on a rare occasion will take 3 still)
-Say "Ma ma ma ma" when you are hungry
-Cry in the same spot of your crib when you want us to come get you
-Wave "hi" with your chubby fingers
-Shake your head when we say "No"
-"Sing" along to any music
-Love strings and cords
-Loves any type of ball
-Like to eat crackers, pretzel sticks and cheerios
-Started eating yogurt and more table foods
-Wear size 4 diapers but 5's at night
-LOVE your big sissy
-Had your first camping experience... it was too cold for you.
-Love the swing at the parks
-Are such a laid back baby- unless someone tries to take something from you or you're hungry.  Then WATCH OUT.


MacKay you are getting around by doing a worm/army crawl.  You love it.  I turn around and the next thing I know you're halfway across the room.  You love strings, cords and anything that looks like that.  You immediately put EVERYTHING into your mouth.  You love that real football and will crawl to anything that resembles a ball.  MacKay, you are pure joy.  You love to smile, laugh, giggle, reach for people and just see what's going on.  I love being your Mommy.  

Daddy has a special place in his heart for you.  You two are little buddies.  He always wants you to watch football with him.  You are always watching him and smile whenever you see him.  Everyone knows you as "Bubba" now.  All the neighborhood girls call you by this name.  It's so very fitting.  
You are starting to thin out a bit.  You're losing some of that adorable baby chub.  It's okay- I still manage to squeeze you all day long.  

MacKay, we love you.  Thank you for coming to our family.
You are all smiles, and love your binky... even though it gives you a terrible rash.


You pull the cutest little faces.  This is one of my favorites. Look at those cheeks... ooooohhhh I just want to grab them so tight.  





Your first campout

Costco trip with Sissy:



Whitney loves to read you books.  You try to grab them as she tries to discipline you.


You and me on my 31st b-day:


You and Daddy at the campout:
