My Sweet Angel Ace,
Tomorrow you will turn ten months old. Double digit months.
Two number months. How did this happen??? You were so tiny and new and brand
new just yesterday. Someone must have accidentally hit the fast forward button
because there is no way that time can possibly go this fast!
The month you were nine months old was one of my favorites.
Your little personality is developing more and more each day and you are the
absolute best thing in mine and daddy’s lives. You greet us each morning with a full body dance party and a belly full of
giggles. This is the same smile, giggle, body dance that you share with others
all through the day. You bring smiles and joy to every person you come in
contact with. It never fails that when we take you out shopping or walking or
really anywhere that you make new friends and people want to hear all about
you. You even had a sweet lady call you “Juicy” this month! Our encounters with
strangers usually go like this; “Oh he is so cute! How old is he?”. This is
followed by our response, “Thank you! He is nine months old.” Their response,
“Ohhhhhhhhh he sure is a big boy!!” This
has earned you some new nicknames this month including “Juice” and “Baby
Giant”.
You got two more teeth this month taking your grand total up
to 8! I have to schedule a dentist appointment for you in the next few weeks
because you have SOO many teeth. Like all of your other teeth, you barely made
a peep as they were breaking though the surface. You are pretty tough! Although
you still aren’t crawling, you manage to get all around by rolling over and
over to get what you want. You have also managed to learn how to scoot yourself
around in a circle if you need to change directions with your roll. You spend a
lot of time trying to roll under furniture. I don’t think it will be long
before you actually get up and go but for now we are ok with your rolling.
This month you completely mastered patty cake. Spent a whole
week with Gigi while she was here for a visit. Got your first ear infection
which has been really AWFUL. Went to
your first football game and loved it. You clapped and watched the whole game.
Uncle Stu said we need to start shopping you around to schools already! Tried
watermelon, pineapple and cheese for the first time. Went through four
different types of sippy cups and you still don’t like any of them. Celebrated
your first Easter and loved the plastic Easter eggs in your basket. Weighed
25.2 pounds and measured 30 inches in length at your well baby visit. And…the
highlight for mama, learned to waive bye-bye. Your bye-bye is the best best
best best best thing in the world! I think I love it so much because it is your
own little way of communicating.
Your ninth month was one of the best ones ever! As you learn
more things and pay attention to more and more things I know they are only
going to get better. You are so smart and silly and have the best qualities
from your dad and me. You have a little temper which I am sure came from me but
you rarely throw fits, cry or give anyone any trouble.
I almost forgot. I want to remember how you stretch your
neck to see things that are just almost out of your line of sight. And how you
peek around the walls to see who is coming in the room. And how you open your
eyes real big while you are doing these things as if that will help you see a
little bit better.
I love you so much, Ace! Here we go to the 10th
month!
Love,
Mom
