9 months

Colin loves to eat.  All the time.  He will eat almost anything we give him, but most of the time he prefers to feed himself.  Exhibit A, stuffed shells:

Don't even bother trying to feed him yourself.

Also, we did marshmallow pictures for probably the last time today.  I'll take pictures each month, but he eats the marshmallows SO FAST now, and I don't really want him ingesting mass quantities of sugar just yet.

This past month has brought a lot of changes.  He started moving from sitting to all 4s.  He started army crawling, then all 4s crawling, and pulling to stand, and cruising in both directions at the furniture, and climbing the stairs.  He says "dada" and something that we pretend sounds like "Ella."  He has 2-3 teeth coming in right now, so he's fussier than usual.  He still loves other people; he'll let anyone hold him and just gives them cheesy grins.  He's still obsessed with Ella, who does not love him so much now that he's chasing her around the house.  

 Will crawl for food.

 What's up Mom?

 No, I didn't let him eat 5 marshmallows.

 What's that toy?

 GIMME!

 Cruising around to see Peter.

He makes this face when he crawls toward something he wants.  And evil baby cackles.  Hilarious.

 So excited!!!

Colin also says Happy Birthday to his Grandma today.  45 right?

We should have news early next week on my job situation.  Thanks for all of the continued prayers.
