9 months!

I'm way behind on my blogging, and just realized I never did an 8 months post. Oh well. What is Sullivan up to these days? * Well, crawling obviously. He is pulling up on anything he can get his hands on and trys to cruise from different pieces of furniture. * The sounds he most frequently makes are Mama, Baba, FaFa and then just general babbling. He really trys to say Bottle, so I'll have to try and get that on camera. He'll get the ba- part, and then strains to try and get out the rest. * Last weekend he started sticking his tongue out like crazy! He hasn't done it much this week, but he wanted to stick it out constantly last weekend. * He can clap his hands, 'give 5s', wave bye bye on occasion. *He loves his musical instruments set and moves from the piano to the drums to the marracas to the tamborine. Loves them all. He loves to hear us sing 'Loving You' to him. The Lalalalala part gets his attention every time! * He's really started to get a kick out of animals- live or stuffed. He'll laugh and get so excited when he sees a dog or a stuffed animal. *He loves books! We often pick him up from daycare and he'll be off by himself flipping through a board book. He absolutely wants to help turn the pages, so I typically give him his own small book to hold while reading to him, so he can be steady turning pages. * Speaking of daycare, he still loves the ladies there. There have been some changes lately at the daycare. They moved his nursery to a larger room, so he has lots more room to crawl around. His 'girlfriend' Harper, an older woman, got moved to the 1 year old room this week for about 3 days and then decided she missed her old pals and came back to Sullivan's room. It is usually Harper, Sullivan, and Hunter (the 3 oldest kids in the nursery) hanging out together. * He's drinking out of a sippy cup on occasion, but preferst to drink out a regular cup or glass. He'll eat just about anything, but if he doesn't like something, he'll make himself gag and spit it right back up. * He weighs just over 22lbs and is 28 inches long. * He still gets up once a night most nights. We have discovered he will sleep through the night if given Ibuprofen, so I don't know if that means his teething pain is waking him up or what. Either way, we don't give him any unless it seems like his gums are bothering him. * Still no teeth popping through yet. * He has decided he doesn't want to be on his back to be changed or have his clothes changed. I have feeling he associates having to lay on his back with getting yucky medicine or having the nasal aspirator used on him, both of which he hates. If he's in a good mood or you distract him with something he'll lay there happy as can be, but most times he crys and kicks at you. Getting a bit of an attitude, although, I haven't a clue where he gets that! ;) * He's still just so happy 99% of the time! We are so blessed and fall more in love with him every day. This age is definitely fun since we get to watch him learn so many new things every day!
