Steele Samuel - 9 Months Old

Steele is a big 9 months old!  On the 1st, I didn't even realize that he was nine months old until about midnight. 


Got to swim in the Frio for the first time and he immediately took to it! 

Is still eating well.  We're taking it slow in adding in new foods.  I apparently overdid it a little bit and his tummy did not like it.  We've back off a little and he is doing so well!  Eating and nursing like a pig! 

He often holds items above his head like this while either seeming to examine it or while seeming super proud of himself! 

Went on his first full scale Frio float!  He slept through most of it!  Which was really precious.  We had a wet towel fully covering him so he stayed cool, comfy, and in no danger of sunburn!  He woke up right at the end of the float and seemed so shocked and surprised about where he was! Then...

He got SOOOO excited about the water!!  He LOVED it!! He kept bouncing and grinning and trying to splash and grab the water! 


Got to swing for the first time and he was a fan.  It almost seemed to mesmerize him into a trance! 





Loves being out on the porch but also loves reaching through the rails and having to be moved back over and over and over and over again.


Had one tooth in his eight month post.   Now has 6...we think...possibly 7 or 8. He does NOT like letting you look inside his mouth.  It has been a rather fussy month to say the least, although really for all the teeth he's gotten at the same time he's been a pretty "easy" teether.  He got three in like 4 days!  He got one front tooth at first and it looks so big right now!

Is just so destructive so quickly!! And is usually so proud of himself!  (Don't worry, I don't keep anything dangerous in those cabinets or drawers)

Discovered the stairs!  He loves to climb them when he gets the chance!  With supervision of course, although if he could figure out how to sneak through the gate or barricade he would!  

Loves getting to go check cows!


Loves Monte!  Monte can still get him to laugh more than anyone else!  Monte's booster seat is next to Steele in the truck and he often talks to him or gets him giggling so hard in the car seat!

Sleeping ok although I think teething ushered in some bad habits that we are now having to break.... so fun. 

Tucker and Steele were such big "helpers" when we helped Aunt Penny and Uncle Nichols move! 

Nothing beats an enclosed trailer as the best "baby cage"!  He was supervising Daddy and Uncle Wyatt fixing the trailer lights. 

He treated this finger puppet as a "pacifier" of sorts for like a full week. 



Wrinkles his nose is the most hilarious little grin all the time!  He often smiles crooked.  I think it's because he only had one top tooth for a while, although now the other one is coming in.  This is the best picture I have of him doing it so far as he flashes them so quickly!
