9 months and a few days

Happy 9 months and a few days Arlo!
There have been too many wonderful happenings around these floors lately that we just couldn't wait until your 10 month celebration to report.
As we all know, you are now crawling. But what may not be appreciated is your new crawling speed. It doesn't appear terribly fast by just watching...but turn the back for one second and you have made it from here to there in light speed time. Say hello to our new friends, Baby Gates.
And what about this business of pulling yourself up? Really? Crawling and now standing. Definitely worthy of a 9 month and a few days celebration!And if that wasn't enough...you grew your first tooth! It's a lovely, sharp chomper. Just try not to chomp down on me so much...or at all would be fine. The wood block is a perfect alternative. But wait...there's more: Crawling. Standing. Toothing. And tonight you had your first encounter with playdoh...made by yours truly...and...Ahem...sorry about the colour. Sludge-Mud-Puddle wasn't what I had in mind. Anyway, I could tell you liked it because when you really like something...and I mean REALLY like it...you spread your big toe on your right foot far and wide. Proof. Sold proof of happiness.Happy 9 months and a few days!
We are so proud of you, dear.

Cute! What combo did you use?
Henry eats everything with those 8 teeth of his... I wasn't so sure I wanted to make the one with lots of salt..
found one with oatmeal and flower.
I like his outstretched big toe.
