Squeaky Door

Who knew a squeaky door could be so entertaining! This went on for about five minutes straight. Where's the WD-40?

(sorry it's sideways)

Circa 1979

Toby took a trip back to the 70's today, and wore his dad's outfit from 1979. So cute...and it fits perfect! Also, if you can't tell, he's standing up by himself--for a few seconds--with no support. He just started doing this the last couple days.

T.P.

Today while doing odds and ends around the house, I realized that it was suddenly quiet. That means I should probably go find Toby. I found him in the bathroom (someone forgot to shut the door) where he discovered, for the first time, toilet paper. Being a first time mom I happen to find these moments adorable, so of course I had to grab the camera. It was all cute until he decided to eat it!

On another note, Toby is now 9 months old and had his 9 month check up yesterday. He weighed in at 19# 3oz and is 28 inches long. I actually thought he was closer to 25#! He's in the 25th-30th percentile for weight and the 40th percentile for height.

I am so happy it's September, that means Fall is right around the corner! Pumpkins and Apple Cider are coming soon!

Standing and Bruises

Toby is standing and discovering new things everyday. This has resulted in a lot of fun for him, but also some bumps and bruises. He's a little fearless, and will let go too soon, or try to grab something a little too far out of reach, and then there he goes....smack! Of course, baby's heads are heavy, so that's the first thing to hit the ground. He kept falling in the same spot, and got a lovely bruise on his forehead. I'm sure this is the first of many bruises to come his way.



Toby recently discovered the front door, which has a large glass window. He enjoys pulling himself up and looking out at the front yard. I often find him there just talking and laughing to himself. He also likes when daddy comes up and says hello.



A few days ago he found the washer machine. I had just put a load of laundry in and he stood up and watched it go round and round.



Another favorite spot is the fireplace. We don't use the fireplace, but hope to someday add a gas insert.



I didn't get a picture, but this morning he was standing up at the toilet playing with the handle. Oh joy. :-)
