Milestones Reached: Graham is pulling up and climbing on everything. He is crawling like lightning and is everywhere! He is also starting to eat more solid foods.

Teeth: Graham got his first two teeth right when he turned 8 months old but they are really starting to show now. You can see them when he smiles. :)

Favorites: 

• Books: Dear Zoo, My First Animals, Baby Animals and Sounds, 
• Music: All things Donut Man (Especially: Shout Hosanna!) STILL 
• Toys: Baby drum, rings, anything he find on the floor. 
• Activities: Crawling, pulling up on everything, trying to open all the cabinets, bath time, reading books, finding every little crumb/leaf/etc on the floor and putting it in his mouth. 

Highlights: Watching him discover the world around him. Everything is so new and exciting for him.

Big Changes: No huge changes this month except that he sleeps through the night again. He started sleeping through the night at 8 months one week. So the sleep regression lasted about 3 weeks. I feel like a real person again with real sleep!

Thoughts: I can't believe he is growing so fast! I want time to slow down a little bit. He is such a happy baby and we love him so much.
