Growing Up

I'm almost nine months old now! I've been working on many things. First of all, I'm learning how to stand up. I like to practice on Daddy.

First grab on...

Then pull up! Hi, Dad!

I've also been getting fancy -- like my new dress? And please note that I'm standing up all by myself!

Now maybe people will stop saying, "What a cute baby! What's his name?"

I'm getting better about playing with other babies. Here I am with my new friend, Juran. She's borrowing my seat and playing with my bear, and I'm playing with her toy.

I'm also learning to feed myself. I've got my own place at the table and I can pick up my own food. I can almost get it into my mouth!

Yummy Strawberries!

Finally, I've upgraded from an infant seat to a toddler seat since I'm getting so big. I love my new seat, and so does Mommy (she wants one for herself).

Like my new seat?
