Almost Nine Months

Hanging Cat

I finally got a picture of Mac on the window. I've been wanting to capture this for quite some time now but I never had the camera handy. The little rascal does this when he wants inside and we aren't right at the door. He has destroyed the screen. It was a pretty low quality screen to begin with, oh well.

Bath time with Daddy

Daddy and Tavin have time together every evening, it is their ritual. Daddy gives Tavin a bath and then a bottle while in the rocking chair and then puts him to bed. Sometimes Daddy falls asleep too. So sweet.

Pool Fun!

Tavin's friend, Hannie, came over to play in the kiddie pool today. They had so much fun splashing around in the water! Hannie is more mobile than Tavin and couldn't decide if she wanted to stay in the pool or out, there was so much to explore in a new backyard. Hannie was showing Tavin how to walk when they were inside playing. He was watching her carefully and taking notes.

Hannie gave Tavin some of her toys that she has out grown. Thank you Hannie!

Two front teeth

Tavin's top two front teeth have made their appearance! He is enjoying more food and loves to chew on pretty much anything. He is crawling all over the place and pulling himself up on anything he can. He loves pulling himself up on the pet gate and walking along side of it.

It is getting more and more difficult to change his diaper. He flips himself over and wants to get away. I have resorted to putting him on the floor when I change him which is safer than the changing table but easier for him to crawl away. I let him crawl around naked today for a little while since he was refusing his diaper. I figured that at least he got to air out a bit. He enjoyed being so free.

Babbling and Pulling himself up!

Tavin loves his activity table! He crawls right up to it and pulls himself up. The table is the perfect height for him. What a great find, best money spent at a garage sale.
