9 months old

My sweet baby boy is 9 months old today. I am honored and amazed to watch him grow every single day. It's an indescribable feeling to look into his eyes and watch as he figures out the world around him. He has had a rough cough in the middle of the night the past few nights which has allowed him to sleep in between mama and dada. Although it's hard to get much sleep with his little feet kicking me in the head or his baby fingers scratching at my back, it opens us up to the opportunity to have him wake us up in the morning. This has become one of my favorite things. Bright and early I start to hear him stir, then make his first noise. Next he pushes up and starts to roll around on my stomach and face giving me kisses and loudly say "ma ma". It is by far just the sweetest. Once he gets up mama he quickly moves onto dada. We then all cuddle together and just soak up all his baby love. Needless to say, these past 9 months have been the best I have ever experienced and I feel so blessed to have him.
