Oh boy. What to say about Wes at nine months? :) He is a fireball! He's very healthy and doing great developmentally. He's basically crawling. He CAN crawl, he would just rather scoot on his belly...but I've seen him crawl for real :) And he loves to try to pull himself up to stand...although he can't quite manage it yet. He tries!
We are still nursing! YAY! I can't believe it. He is actually really hard to nurse right now. He has serious nursing ADD and I'm really only nursing him three-four times a day, and those nursing sessions are somewhat challenging because he is so wiggly...but, I'm just not really switching to formula at this point. I'm determined to make it to a year. (Although he does get about a bottle a week of formula while I teach lessons)
He eats solids like a pro---he recently started to refuse anything that was spoon-fed to him---so we are pretty much completely doing table food at this point. Clearly he is growing and gaining weight so I'm not worried about him like I was with Owen :) He is doing quite well with a sippy cup and...best news ever.....he gave up the paci! It happened about two weeks ago...he just started to refuse it and hasn't taken it to go to sleep or anything for a solid two weeks. I feel like this is a huge blessing. I was worried that this was something that would be long and drawn out and we would have to "take" it from him someday. So glad he gave it up on his own. And really, it wasn't helping anymore. If he's going to scream, he's going to scream. Paci or no paci :)
He is still in a size 3 pamper. Easily into 6-12 month clothing---12 month clothing fitting the best.
He is as sweet as can be one minute--and angry and fiery the next :) He has no patience for sitting in a high chair...and wants what he wants NOW! Oh boy! This should be fun! :)
He loves Owen so much. Completely smiles and laughs and gets so excited when he is around him. However, Owen has started telling him "NO" when he starts to get into something he shouldn't be into (or grabs a toy Owen doesn't want him to have :)) and it completely makes him mad! He will scream at Owen and clench his fists! NICE! Can't wait for some brother wars!
No real words yet....lots of babbles like: ba ba ba ba, and da da da da. I'm still hoping that a "mama" is around the corner :)
I think that's about it!

wow 9 months! time flies! just have to say i TOTALLY sympathize with the baby having nursing ADD. maybel had it BAD! The only way she would nurse was to be in a dark and silent/noise machine room. If she heard noise outside the door... she wouldn't nurse until it was silent again. However, she NEEDED / WANTED to eat...but didn't want to miss out on anything else. SO i tried just being done when she wouldn't eat b ut then she'd be so cranky cuz she was hungry and want to nurse again! haha! Good luck...it is challenging but worth it. She was down to 2 nursings by 11 months 1 at 12 months and stopped right before she was 13 months! Good job momma ....you can do it! And your not alone...i SOOOO wanted to switch to formula but wouldn't let myself!
Yes the boys are growing and growing. We are so thankful for happy healthy boys and family. Each stage is fun and challenging, so enjoy it they pass by way too fast. We love you all!
