9 Months

Our sweet baby is 9 months old!  He is eating pretty much everything…except peanut butter (more on that to come!).  He loves toast in the morning…I either spread hummus or avocado on it.  He love yo baby yogurt.  Quesadillas.  Applesauce.  Watermelon.  Everything else is pretty hit or miss depending on his mood.  He has 6 teeth…that he loves to use to bite me!  We are working on ending that asap!  He has mastered the art of pitching a fit if I take something away from him…which is very comical!  He is a fast crawler and is getting into everything all over the house.  He is pulling up to a stand more and more everyday.  He loves to “brush his teeth”, but gets very angry if I try to actually brush them.  He loves riding in the ergo.  He is nursing 4-5 times a day depending on if he nurses in the middle of the night.  He loves baby einstein in the morning while we are still “waking up”.  He enjoys our walks and golf cart rides.  Happy 3/4 of a year to our little buddy!

Beach Bums

We took Charlie Banks to the beach for what might be the last time until next summer.  Hopefully we can squeeze another trip in if the weather cooperates!  He loves splashing in the gulleys!

Cousin Fun

Charlie Banks loves his cousins!  Hudson wanted Charlie Banks out of the wagon once he realized I couldn’t pull him very fast with CB in there, too. It was too funny!

Hand Me Downs

Charlie Banks is lucky to have a well dressed older cousin in Hudson!  He gets the cutest hand me downs!  He looked too cute in this one all dressed up to go to brunch at Red Drum.

And then he spit up all over daddy’s head!

Breakfast is the New Dinner Date

It is much easier for us to take Charlie Banks out to breakfast than to dinner!  He goes to bed so early…so for us to go out to dinner means we are eating super early then rushing him home.  Typically at this age it isn’t the most enjoyable experience.  We used to never eat breakfast out, but have been doing so a lot more lately!  It is nice!

However, my mom was in town a few weeks ago and we were able to get out of the house for dinner baby-less.  It felt so weird to be in out in public after dark ha!  The morning wasn’t so fun for daddy! I think we will stick to breakfast from now on!

Football Season

We are enjoying our first football season with Charlie Banks!  He doesn’t know how big of a deal football is to his family yet.  He has big football shoes to fill with his Papa Reedy!  Football weekends look much different than past seasons…with my dad retiring from coaching and Charlie Banks added to the mix…but I must say it’s the best yet!  We are ready to cheer our Tigers to a win over Notre Dame this weekend!

Let’s just say he has his “pitch” down…pitching a fit that is! Ha!

First Farm Trip

We took Charlie Banks to Jimmy’s parents farm for the first time a few weeks ago!  We had a fun time and it was even cool enough that night to build a fire.  He will be spending a lot of time hunting with his dad and grandpa here!
