happy 9 months to me....(bleep)!

The (bleep) in my title is a new word I learned from Pops today. He kept saying the word "_itches" after every cheer tonight. I don't know what it means. All I know is I can hear words and store them in my head. I can't say them just yet, but don't be mad at me if I ever remember that word. Okay, Pops?

Anyways, I'm 9 months old today. Yippee for me!!! Actually, it's yippee for me and Pops. I'm celebrating my birthday and Pops is celebrating the Superbowl - his favorite football team is playing.

I can stand on my own 2 feet for at least 2-3 seconds. Longer if I'm holding someone's hand.
Feed myself Cheerios and other yummy in my tummy crackers.
Drop my toys on the floor and just stare at it (hoping someone will pick it up and give back to me).
Scream or cry if I don't like something.
Crawl or push myself.
Yank myself up to a kneeling position, and sometimes into a standing position.
Say Mama, Ba, Lala, Pa.

My new and most favorite thing is playing Peek-a-boo. It's so fun!

Today I celebrated my birthday at Auntie Burnt's and Uncle Neek's place. I just wanted to share with everybody that my Uncle slapped my leg. He said it was an accident though. Don't worry, I'm not mad, but it did hurt.
