Today I met my friend Sofia for the first time! I was asleep when Sofia and her mommy got to my house last night so we didn't meet until the morning. We were talking back and forth but when Sofia would start to whine or pout I would get really sad and start to cry. 

We also went to the Jelly Belly Factory and met with our other friend RJ. We had fun on the tour and then our mommies ate pizza and talked. We just hung out and threw toys and yelled.

When we got home we took a bath and then hung out for a little bit longer before going to bed.

I am excited for tomorrow! We are going to the zoo!

Today I had my 9 month appointment! I am a growing boy and gained 10oz since my last appt that was on March 30th.

I am strong like bull so I don't have another appt until I turn one!!

Today was also my mommy's birthday! We went out to dinner at her favorite sushi restaurant and we sang her happy birthday! I also stuck my finger in her cake and tried a little bit of chocolate.

Here is a group shot of everyone that went out to dinner.

Today I learned how to drink from a straw! It took a couple tries but I finally figured it out!

Here I am just chomping on the straw and being cute.

YAY! Drinking some of mommy's iced tea! 

Here I am really angry because mommy only let me have a couple sips of her iced tea. I got really angry! Tears and all.

I LOVE bath time! This is one of the new things that I like to do. I think it is funny and I spit them out into the water and crack myself up.

I have not been wanting to sit in my high chair to eat for about a week now so my mom brought out my bumbo. I love it! I also love bitter biscuits and bread. I gnaw on it and it scratches my gums because they are itchy from my new teeth that are coming in.

56/365

Today I am 9 months old!! My mommy says that time has flown by really fast!! I have 4 teeth and 2 more are coming through, I can't crawl yet but I can scooch around on my bum and roll to things, I still just love to sit and hang out.

Mommy and I went on a walk to the park today, I really liked sitting on the grass and people watching. Mommy really wanted to put me in the swing but there were other kids in it so we just hung out on the grass.

I love sitting in my bath tub sideways. Don't ask me why but I like it.

The weather has been really crazy lately! It was really nice and warm last week then this week it has been really chilly and rainy. I like the warm weather because my mommy takes me on walks and we hang out outside in the afternoons. 

One of my favorite things to do is play fetch with Rufus. Well my mom throws the ball and Rufus brings it back, I try to take the ball but I can't grab it fast enough. 

Although I do love my mom I hate when she smothers me with kisses when I do not want them

Here is a smiling shot of me where I am showing my teeth! My mom has a hard time photographing my teeth because I don't like it when she tries to move my lip to see my teeth! Also if you look closely you can see that 2 more teeth are starting to pop through!

Mom bought me this basket at Ikea when we were there on Sunday. It is great for my toys because it is sturdy enough to stand on its own but soft enough where I won't hurt myself when I reach in to pull toys out or fall on it when I am reaching for stuff.

So now that I am a little bit more mobile (no crawling, just scooching along and rolling) I have discovered new things that I like to do.

Don't I look so nice and innocent??

Then  here I am doing something that I shouldn't be doing.

Today I got to meet my friend Roberto and his mommy and daddy. We walked around Ikea for a long, long, long, long time. I got a little cranky towards the end and I didn't even make it awake out of the parking lot. I can't wait until we go to the Zoo!!

I took a short nap and by the time we got back to my Weeto's house I was all energized and ready to go! My new favorite thing to do is sit in my Weeto's car and honk the horn and press buttons. 

48/365

I went to Old Sacramento for the first time today! It was beautiful and I loved looking at all the old buildings and people. I saw a horse for the first time today too!

We had lunch at a little shop and mom forgot to bring a bib so dad suggested that she tuck a napkin into my shirt. 

47/365

Sorry for the blurry picture but dad wanted to get a picture of me this morning because I was PTFO (passed the funk out). He had to wake me up this morning because all I wanted to do was stay in bed and sleep!!

Happy Birthday to my Tia Oli! We went to her house after my mommy and daddy picked me up from daycare. Tia Christy (Tia Oli's mom) made a delicious dinner and she made cake too. I wasn't allowed to eat any cake but I did make a new friend!

Here I am with my weeto. He was smothering me with kisses, you can tell that I am a little annoyed.

Here I am with my new friend Kailee, at first I didn't know what to think of her but she turned out to be ok. We just kept screaming at each other and flailing our arms. 

This is where she got a little close and touched my hair....no one touches my hair :)

Here with are singing Happy Birthday to my Tia Oli. I was not amused so I decided to try to sneak a taste of the cake (since I am not allowed to have any until my 1st birthday).

It was a fun evening but I was pooped when I got into the car to make our 1 hour drive home, I slept the whole way!

Sofee has been warming up to me a lot more lately. She has always liked me but she isn't as cuddly with me as Rufus is. Here she is laying next to me. I found her tail and thought it was funny so I was holding it and pulling it!

She was ok with it for a few minutes then she didn't like it so much so she was looking at me then she moved to another place.

And here I am just being cute and trying to reach for the camera.

44/365

Here I am minding my own business and being a ham for the camera. 

Rufus decides he needs to come lay next to me and inspect me.

Then I decided that it was my turn to inspect him.

43/365

My new favorite thing to do is chew on the strings of mommy and daddy's sweatshirts. Mom hadn't noticed and she had been walking around the store with me chomping on her string!

42/365

Mom has been wanting a steam mop for quite a while so we finally went to Bed Bath and Beyond to buy one. There were so many things to look at and touch! One thing that I came across was this singing fish!

At first I wasn't to sure about it......

But then I decided it was ok to touch it. 

41/365

We went to the farmer's market today, it was really chilly but I still enjoyed looking at everything and being outside.

40/365

Today mom got me some big boy pajamas. I like them a lot!!

Mommy likes my feet, I like it when she blows raspberries on them. She also says that I have very crooked toes like my Weeto.

I am a little lazy in the mobility department, but I am getting more and more brave!

This is what happens when I get a little too brave and forget that I am not sitting down all the way. I end up face-planting and getting upset.

I love playing with my toy helicopter! 

I also love chewing on the pull string of my toy helicopter. 

37/365

I love drinking water, except I hate my sippy cup. Mom has bought me about 3 but I prefer to drink out of a water bottle or her glass. (mom asks for you to ignore her red face, she had just gotten back from walking/running with Rufus)

 Mommy wasn't able to take a picture of me today but she took video. That counts right? Well here I am being cute and just talking away while mommy was attempting to put me down for a nap.

Today we celebrated my First Easter with mommy's side of the family and let me tell you there sure are a bunch of them! I was being passed around like a hot potato! But I loved it!!

Here I am with my beautiful Weeta and mom!

Here I am with my Tia Jackie, she is mommy's cousin. 

Here is a group shot of everyone that was at my uncle's house, this isn't even half of my family! 

I had a really great time and I did really well! No major breakdowns or anything, mommy and daddy were proud!
