We have a crawler

Today Grant turned 9 months old, and became an official crawler. He's been working on it for awhile now, but today he went more than a couple of feet crawling. He used it as it primary way to get across the room.  There is no more setting him down and finding him in the same spot a minute later.  This little man is on the go, trying to find anything to put in his mouth.  This morning it was my shoulder, knee, shin, anything he could try to bite on.  Yes, nursing has been a bit of a challenge over the past week.  Those teeth are SHARP!  He doesn't have just a couple, he now has 7 teeth.  He has four on top and three on the bottom.  This allows him to eat quite a variety of things, and he's not picky.  He will eat anything that he can pick up and put in his mouth.  He's also becoming quite vocal.  He has one volume and it's loud.  I can't believe that it's been 9 months since he came into our life.  This time is going by far to quickly.  I rocked him to sleep this afternoon, holding him tight and thinking about how these times are limited. 

The weather has finally cooled off here and today we took full advantage of it.  The kids and I spent the morning at the zoo.  It's so nice to have a place like that so close to us.  Ava absolutely loves it there.  This afternoon we spent a little time outside before running to Target, and then took a little walk (bike ride for Ava) with Daddy when he got home. 

Nothing else too exciting to report.  Hope that you are all enjoying your week!

 
I took all of these pictures today for Grant's 9 month "birthday"





I think he looks huge in this pictures.  I couldn't put his height and weight on here because thankfully we haven't been to the Dr. recently.  He'll have his 9 month well baby check next Monday.
