9 Months

Phinn is 9 months old now! He has four of the sharpest teeth known to man, and I know this because he wants to try them out everywhere now - food - mom - dad - etc. He claps and is starting to wave, and as you can see, is just adorable. He loves to eat, especially if he is feeding himself. Some of his favorites include crackers, blueberries, yogurt and cheese. If Hilde is within reach he has her hair in his little fists. If Enoch is around he grabs his ear. When snuggling he grabs the skin on your elbows or back of your arms and pinches it. While soothing to him, it can be quite painful to the recipient. His hair is still nearly non-existent, but has grown out just enough in the back to be what we lovingly call "old man hair". He has these small little curls that stick out in back. And of course, this month he has worked really hard on building up his immunities by having an ear infection, multiple fevers, diarrhea, a rash and a bad cold. Although he suffered, he had only moments of fussiness. In fact, I think his parents were grumpier than he was as they juggled work and home responsibilities. We loved spending some quality time with him, we just wish it was planned versus spontaneous!



And a recent shot of Enoch lying on the couch. Everyone comments on how much Phinn looks like his big brother. If he grows up as cute as Enoch he'll be a very lucky boy. We love them both dearly.

What are you going to do to protect the 10 Months sign? He gets more interested in it each month. So cute and wish he were closer!

Good question Carol - he is quick as lightening these days too. It is going to be hard!
