9 months and teeth 4,5, and 6

Easton is 9 months old today.  The time has passed perfectly.  There have been slow times and fast times.  
He is such a good boy.  Happy all the time.  Naps regularly every day in the early afternoon.  Sometimes another random nap but one nap that is dependable.  He is still up three or so times a night to nurse but goes back to sleep quickly.
He is eating more food now that we figured out that he doesn't like baby food mush.  Although still not a lot.  Cheerios are a favorite.  

Easton currently has two more teeth in the top middle popping through with the one on the top left of those middle ones likely to pop through in the next few days.

Updates in the past few days:  We have lowered the crib to the middle level as he was starting to pull himself up.  Hadley was almost 10 months old when we did this and was standing unassisted for short amounts of time.  http://ajax.verkley.com/blog/leanne/index.cgi?sid=311&user=leanne
However July is a busy month for us so it made sense to do it now when we had time.
Also on the "do it now when you have time" is the installation of the baby gate on the stairs.  We will definitely need this soon as Easton has started to crawl... backwards.  

He babbles all the time and has been heard a handful of times saying mama.  Yay!

Easton has this flirty smile that he uses often in his high chair as if to ask if we are serious about things we say to him.  He loves to bang his head against the back of the high chair and throw things off to the side.  He understands when we say no to him and uses said flirty smile to find out how serious we are.  It is hard not to smile as it is so cute.

It is so fun to watch him learn and grow.
