My Ninth Month

Things really slowed down this month. My parents wanted to take it easy after all the holiday festivities. I'm still not crawling, but I may start anyday now. I'm still quite a social butterfly. I love being around lots of people! I started working at pulling myself up to stand. I'm really enjoying standing up while holding onto my toys or Daddy. At the beginning of this month I got to join Mommy for her birthday dinner at her favorite sushi restaurant. My favorite part was when the waitress dropped a tray of ice cold glasses of water right down Mommy's shirt! I also did my share of spilling that night, but everyone had a lot of fun!

Look at me in my beautiful new sweater that my cousin Caitlin sent all the way from Virginia. Did she know purple is Mommy's favorite color?

Also, this month I finally got to meet Dean, Sarah, and Keegan. We all met up at Uncle Zak's house. There were 3 Mommies there and they were all named Sara(h)! These pictures are tiny, but I still wanted you to see how much fun I had. I did a really good job sharing my toys with Keegan. Sarah is the first pediatrician I've met who didn't give me a shot... I got a fun toy instead... she sure beats my doctor!

At the end of my eighth month I attended my first Thompson Super Bowl party. I had so much fun being passed around to so many friends and family all day. I don't know what Mommy was thinking when she tried to put me down for a nap during the game. How could she expect me to sleep with so much excitement going on! I stayed awake through the entire game and didn't sleep until our drive home... that's a tough feat even for Mommy to accomplish!

While we were down in San Jose I got to visit my Great Grandma Ethel again. She loved seeing how big I had gotten and even let me play with some of her stuffed animals.

Our last stop while we were in San Jose was to Santa Cruz. That's where Daddy grew up and where he proposed to Mommy. We ate lunch at a restaurant on the beach in Capitola. I loved watching the birds from my stroller.

Watch me grow!
