Nine months and Hoyt is absolutely everywhere and getting into everything. He can crawl so fast now - one minute he is in the family room and the next he is at the front door! He loves the dishwasher, and no matter where he is when he hears the door open he comes crawling. When the door is down it is just the right height for him to pull himself up and try to gnaw on the bottom rack!
At church last Sunday he got his first "shiner". Ryon had him in Elders Quorum and he was crawling around and pulling himself up on the chair rack. During the prayer he took a dive and plowed his cheek into the rack. Ryon said, "He did that cry where he didn't breathe for like 1 minute!" So in the bottom picture if you look at his left cheek you can see the battle scar, and we know that's just the first of many. (However, I did have to let Ryon know that I didn't think he was watching him closely enough!)
We had Hoyt's nine month appointment last week and he is now 30 inches long (95%) and weighs 22 pounds (80%). The doctor thinks he will be a very tall boy, and says he is doing great! We just can't believe that nine months have gone by so quickly, but we love this age and could sit and watch Hoyt all day. He is such a happy, smiley boy and he loves to laugh - he is truly our entertainment!

He's so big! I'm glad you're enjoying life as a mom. It is a big adjustment being home all the time. I still toy with bringing back my 10 hours a week. I've been home full time for the last year though and it has gone by fast! You guys look great!! Check out our blog! leslieandjaron.blogspot.com
