9 MONTHS
I'm not sure how we got here but yet here we are. Another month down, another reminder that my last little baby is growing up. I still feel like I can't soak in enough "baby-ness".

Favorites: being held or talked to, army crawling everywhere, eating, sleeping in your crib, baths, your car seat when you're tired or in the car, your paci, and you loooove our family: mama, daddy, Jacoby, and Maddox (Benny too!)
Not-so-favorites: Being alone or being set down when you're tired.
EAT
You love to eat. You'll eat just about anything...including mac & cheese, chicken, peas, carrots, applesauce, raspberries, banana, PB toast, sweet potatoes, spaghetti, granola bars, veggie straws, the list goes on! You basically always have veggie straws or a granola bar for a snack while waiting and then you usually eat some of what we do!
You are still breastfed but this past week you've bitten mommy a lot. I'm hoping it was just a few days and it's not going to happen again. It hurts :( I'm not ready to stop nursing you but I also don't want it to continue...so if it does, I'll probably buy formula and transition you out, knowing that maybe that's what you want...even if it's not really what I want!

SLEEP
You're a good sleeper. You take a morning nap that's about 45 minutes, sometimes in your crib at home, sometimes in the car, sometimes in my arms if we are somewhere that I'm holding you.
You take a good afternoon nap that is usually around 2 hours and is almost always in your crib.
You go to sleep for the night around 8 and have been waking up around 1am to eat and then go back to bed. I'm positive you don't NEED that feeding, but I also don't feel like fighting you. I know my nights of waking up to feed a baby are very close to being over, so I just come get you, rock you, and know that these times are fleeting.

PLAY
Oh Kendry, you are busy little bee! You play in your jumper some, but you really prefer to be on the ground army crawling and rolling all over the place. You love to have a ball and push it around, chasing it all over the house. You also love to play with doors (I just know you're going to pinch your finger some day), pushing them open and shut.
You think your brothers are hilarious and put up with wayyyy more than I would ever expect you to. haha.
You're so tough and let them do the craziest things with you. The other day I caught them dragging you by your feet (with your tummy on the floor) across the tile floor. When I asked them what they were doing they told me that you were by something that was dangerous so they moved you.
So in case you're wondering-- they love you and care about you!
You are super ticklish and I loooove it. Your giggles are some of my favorite. Jacoby is really good at getting you to laugh in the car (Maddox is directly behind you so you can't see him but you face Jacoby). He'll spit, make silly faces, play peek a boo and you have the best time watching him.
You big enough now to ride in the cart at stores and you plaster a big smile across your face as I push the cart. You're so proud of yourself and think the world is fascinating 😊
You now have your two bottom front teeth! It makes you look like such a big boy. Even though you feel like a big boy, you're a peanut in size (2%) and lots of people guess you around 6 months! haha.
Daddy is your very favorite person to give kisses to. I'm not sure if it's his enthusiastic reaction or if it's his beard that you love more, but you love to pull him in for lots of sweet kisses.
Kendry,
There's just not a better word to describe you than sweet. You have a sweet smile, a sweet giggle and the sweetest personality. You are tough as you need to be, but also gentle. You roll with the crazy family you were born into and you couldn't fit more perfectly. I love your big, beautiful eyes that are always changing color, I love the way you smile at me and the feeling that I feel knowing that I'm your comfort. I love that you always give kisses, that you think I'm hilarious, and that you are always willing to be handed to someone if needed. You're outgoing, full of joy (and yet can look so somber if you're not in the mood...), sweet to the core, and hands down my favorite 9 month old. I love you so much!
