Well, another 3 months (and a bit) have thundered by and yet you never cease to continue to amaze and captivate me. 9 Months old! That means you have been outside of mummy’s tummy as long as yor were in it!

You now have teeth! Only the front bottom two for the time being but finally something had popped out of those swollen gums and true to the Humphries form they took their time so I’m not gonna hold my breath for more any time soon.

You’re not on the move quite yet. You roll about but crawling is still eluding you at which you get super frustrated with. Either your bum is in the air, ploughing your face into the ground or your head is up with you legs frantically moving and jerking about. In light of these minor obstacles you’ve already devised two solutions, either being:

A) “Sod this for a game of soldiers, I’ll try and walk instead”. Which you attempt at any give opportunity especially if you manage to grab something and pull you self up.

or

B) “Oi, get me up NOW!” A barrage or grunts of frustration till someone sits you back up, From which a few moments later you will promptly swan dive into said face plant position again.

Talking about walking you love your baby walker, I was never a fan of them if I’m honest, but to see you charging around, laughing, flapping your arms with excitement and squeeling after Hudson, Mummy or me I can’t help but be totally charmed. It is one of the cutest things I have ever seen.

Oh and the squeels! Where did they come from? And how do you get the pitch so high? So high infact, I think you’re giving Hudson a headache. Man, they really hurt, almost as much as when you try to claw at our eyes and face! Although I’m partly to blame as most are caused when I tickle you. You have such an infectious giggle and enjoy the rough and tumble until that look comes across your face like “Hey Dad, that’s enough now!”

The past three months it seems you have gained a little more independence and contentment, you can sit for ages being constantly amazed by the Sky TV remote the telephone, the house keys or mummy’s mobile. Yeah, you like mummy’s mobile cause the lights are so cool. Your ‘proper’ toys? well you can take them or leave them, they just ain’t fun enough!

We had your thanksgiving giving service this past sunday (13th). Believe me it has been a topic that has seen mummy and I discuss over and over and over again as mummy has a lot of faith and I don’t have any. But like we always do we came to a good compromise of a thanksgiving service and it was a wonderful service. A really great day with everybody absolutely spoiling the man of the moment at the party afterwards.

You are still as beautiful and golden as ever. I won’t deny you have your moments but so far the first 9 months have be wonderfull however the next time I do a quarterly update you will be 1! Now that’s frightening.
