9 month well baby

Karter turned 9 months old on March 5th. Tricks Karter is doing at this age.
He crawls very fast. He can be out of sight at the blink of an eye.
Pulling up and cruising along everything he can.
Touching the curtains, blinds, fireplace, fireplace poker set and toilet all which he is supposed to keep his chubby little hands off of.
He sucks in his bottom lip and sometimes will flash a fishy face at you.
Loves to fly in the air and do flips with daddy.
Going outside for any reason. (Checking the mail, find daddy or going on walks)
He loves to put any and all things in his mouth.
He has gotten very independent with his eating. He has to do it himself. His doctor says this is fine and to let him do it as often as possible. Even though I worry he isn't eating enough.
Drinking out of straws.
Staying home. He LOVES to be at his own house. He is so different when he's not home.
Sleeping all night long. Sleeps all naps in his bed.
He is such a happy boy and we count our many many blessings daily for him. I love every.single.day with him.
His 9 month stats are:
Weight: 22 lbs. 6 oz. 90%
Height: 31 1/4 inches 97%
Head: 47 cm 95%

Brush our Teeeef

In February Brandon and I went to the dentist for our 6 month checkup. I asked our dentist about brushing Karter's teeth. She said we could at any time. (Many of you know how obsessed I am with brushing and flossing my teeth) So that day I went to walmart to get his very own tooth brush and tooth paste. We did our normal bedtime routine but this time we added in teeth brushing with a song and all. Karter loved it and still loves it. I just hope this continues for the rest of his life. I tell him often he has to take better care of his teeth than his daddy does.
