9 Months with RL4

It seems I blinked and our little tiny newborn boy has been transformed into a babbling, three-toothed crawler! Last Friday marked 9 months since RL arrived on our scene, and he just gets more precious each day. We are so thankful to have him as part of our family! Here are a few recent views and achievements:

One of the first physical accomplishments that made him seem like such a little person to me was his sitting in the crib when I'd go in to get him after his naps. Of course Ralph is always right there, hanging around!


Banging things together is another new fun activity...


He first started pulling up to his knees just a few weeks ago...


And he is getting to be a great crawler!


Going for the camera...


Last Tuesday he pulled up to standing for the first time and stood there a long time, even letting go with one hand for a while. Can you tell how proud of himself he was?




He cut tooth #3 last week, too, but I've had trouble getting a good photo of them. Here you can at least see a little of his toothy smile.


Today I found him like this...


and here he is in action on Saturday.


Look out, world! (or at least, for now, sisters!)
