9 Months

Greer turns 9 months tomorrow.
I am looking forward to the doctor visit because it assures me his growth is on track but I dread it because he gets shots. I think that is worse than getting one myself because he has no idea why it is happening.
So, all in the matter of a weekend, Greer has decided to sit up by himself and try to pull up on things. I am so excited and terribly afraid at the same time. I guess he is tired of being left behind by the big kids.
He is exclusively on table food. He will not tolerate anything remotely resembling baby food. He loves anything green-peas, green beans, spinach, sweet snap peas and avocado. He also loves to chew. It is the funniest thing. He either shaves it with his front teeth or gums it to death.
He also makes a great face doing it.
Because he has the eight teeth, and they are slow to move down, he takes great time to investigate with his tongue. If you have ever watched a dog eat peanut butter- it is similar.
He is just too cute-of course. I'm his mom! It has been the most wonderful jorney thus far.
