9 Months

So I missed 8 months cause it was over the holidays and we just moved out of our house and were getting ready to go to Korea. Needless to say, I had a hard time mustering up the energy and to be honest, I kinda forgot. Anyway, here he is at nearly 9 months (above). He has been all about his tongue lately. He clicks it, smacks his lips, and sticks it out a lot. He especially enjoys doing it while he's go his binky in. Matt thinks he looks like an anteater. I think he's a lot cuter than an anteater, don't you?:

Anyway, our int'l health insurance hasn't transferred over so there has yet to be a 9 month appointment made, so his stats are unknown. I'm wondering if they even do 9 month appointments here in Korea. Hmmm ...

Besides the tongue thing here are some other things he likes to do:

• He pulls up on EVERYTHING. He hasn't mastered getting down so right now, he just lets go and does the "Trust Fall" right onto the marble/wood floor. I sure hope he learns how to sit down before he gives himself brain damage.


• He cries for 5 minutes every time I put him to bed but then he's off to sleep. He'll sleep 10 hours at night. Hallelujah!! I better enjoy that for the next few months before baby # 2 comes along.


• He gets very offended if I take away something he shouldn't be playing with or if I shut a door to where he wants to go. He'll just throw his head back and wail.


• He likes to play hide and go seek. I'll go around a corner and call his name. I can hear the slap of his hands getting closer and closer. When I finally see his face peak around the corner, I scare him and he laughs hysterically. He'll play this game for 10 minutes straight.


• His favorite thing to play with are the cords to the computer, printer etc. I've gotta figure out what to do with the cords so he can't get them.


• His favorite thing to play with previously was Lucy's food and water. I finally resorted to moving her food into the guest bedroom where we never go.


• He also loves to pull Matt's new Wii off the shelf and onto the marble tile. I'm surprised it's not broken yet.

You really gotta watch this kid like a hawk. He is everywhere and into everything. He is a very big danger to himself. I really wish our apartment was carpeted, but that's just not how they roll here in Korea. Anyway, if and when I get the stats, I'll post 'em. Don't you worry!
