Patrick’s Update - 9 Months

After being so sick last month, our little boy bounced back. He started crawling and just took off and loves to pull himself up. He also has teeth...8 total and loves to bite his crib. His hair is growing more and he's gaining the weight he lost last month back. He's an eater...all kinds of food. I try and give him as much homemade food that I can make, but we also use jar food when we go out. He loves mash potatoes, mango, and banana's. He loves to smile and wave to people. He's our little social butterfly.
