Nine months old!

The best news from this week is it appears Calvin is not allergic to corn!!!  Who knows what the rash was caused by last time, but he's had corn three days this week and nothing.  Now that our little monkey man is nine months old, here is what he's up to:

- pulling up on everything
- climbing the stairs...I left him at the bottom of the stairs while I ran up to grab something.  I came back to find him on the third step.
- crawling all over (still army crawling)
- dancing - loves to dance along to music
- eating - man does this little guy love to eat!  If I had to pick a favorite food for him, I'd say apples.  Just take a couple of bites out of one and hand it to him and he will go to town on it.
- babbling and making noise.  He has a very, very loud babble and it's often hard to tell if he's happy or sad when he's babbling.
- thinking about cruising along the furniture.  He will move a couple of steps and then forgets to move his feet and just leans for whatever he's trying to get to.
- standing up in his crib all the time which is leading to some rough nights of sleep.  I'm convinced he does it in his sleep and then wakes up mad that he's standing up.
- finally made the move to his convertible car seat.  He's still rear facing, but seems to love the extra room.

Showing off crawling on his knees. 

Ha ha Mom, I'm not going to let taking my picture be easy

Just a boy and a bowl of apples. 

Loves his new seat!
