9 months old!

Where has the time gone?? It has been a busy nine months here and quite a BUSY summer too! My mommy and Daddy got married, June 30, 2007!!! It was just beautiful, i sat through the whole ceremony and it was so special seeing them receive their sacrament of marriage! My mommy and Daddy just feel so blessed by their infinite love for each other! And boy did i look cute in my tuxedo! Since then we've done alot of vacationing, lucky us! Mommy and Daddy went to St. Thomas to celebrate their honeymoon and I got to stay with both sets of grandparents who love to spoil me! When mommy and Daddy got home they just couldn't put me down, shortly after we took a trip to Maine to visit Grammy and Grandpa's new house, it is gorgeous there! Then we went to the Outer Banks, NC, I loved it I got to play in the water and eat sand and have lots and lots of attention! I am one water loving baby! I've recently turned nine months and boy have i learned alot of new things! I learned to crawl in Maine, woohoo!! Now i can pull myself up, i love standing all day long, I can take steps by holding onto the coffeetable or couch. I am eating more and more solids, i love eating my zwieback toast and i'm so good at drinking from a sippy cup! Daddy has been off teaching for the summer and doing landscaping work, i've loved having him around more but i know how excited he is to get back to his students in a few weeks! Mommy just got a job, congrats mommy! She accepted a part-time position at The Mentor Network in Philadelphia; she'll be working with children in their schools and homes who have Autism and PDD and other behavioral disorders, she really enjoys working with kids and she loves being able to help those less fortunate, she is really excited to start work but worried too about leaving me. I just tell her everything will be fine, my buddy Kellen's mommy will be watching me while mommy is at work for a few hours and then me and mommy will keep watching kellen while his mama is at work, it works out nicely so i don't have to go to daycare. I love to make sounds, i say "da da da" especially when i see animals, I also say "ma ma ma" when i'm tired or fussy, and I love to continue to experiment with my voice! I'm getting bigger every day and learning new things! Mommy and Daddy have had to do some major babyproofing to keep me out of trouble, although i still find my ways! We'll be moving into our first home in the fall, mommy and daddy are searching now for townhomes and ranch homes, how exciting! Ok iwritten alot for a little guy so i better go rest and maybe go take my afternoon nap. We miss you and love you all, Love, The Reuter Family!
