9 Months

9-month fun facts:

• Josiah is currently obsessed with the ceiling fan in our room.
• Eats solids 3 times a day, nurses 4 times. LOVES Gerber/off-brand puffs and Cheerios and has gotten really good at putting them in his mouth. He's not as enthusiastic about other finger foods I've tried, even if he likes them pureed as baby food.
  

• Sleeps from 7ish-6:30ish at night. Generally takes two naps. He's started napping for over an hour more often, which is nice! He's gotten much better about laying down for to sleep, but sometimes he fights it.
  
• Just cut his top two front teeth!
  

• His shape sorter and tractor are his two favorite toys. He's started trying to put the shapes into the holes instead of just dumping everything out. He doesn't normally match the right shape to hole yet.
  
• Still enjoys his bath, but now he likes to crawl and stand in the tub, which is causing issues.
  

• Says "da da" for most things, including Daddy (but also Mama, the fan...). Occasionally we hear other consonants.
  
• Has started signing milk the entire time he's nursing. It's hilarious.

• Walking with our hands is his most favorite thing ever. One day he took off on his own with his push toy, but hasn't really done so since.
• Crawls from the living room to the kitchen to find me - so precious.
