9 months!

My baby is nine months old now! I can't believe it. He is growing so fast! The past month he has started to army crawl. He is a little behind on the regular crawling still. And I have a couple friends who have babies that are his age and already walking! But we need to take into consideration how heavy baby Stevo is. He also got another tooth, one on the top middle so he now has a total of four! Teething hasn't been too bad. He has mostly just been drolly. This past month baby Stephen learned how to put himself to sleep for his naps. It was a major accomplishment. We were not comfortable with the cry it out method. So we took some tips from a book called the no cry nap solution and the 90 minute sleep solution (or something like that) and finally got to the point where he can sleep by himself!!

Baby Stephen is such a great baby! I love him. If you are not already following me on Instagram and vine you should so you can see many more videos and pictures of baby Stephen. I'm a little obsessed!

More visitors!

Brett and Melissa came to visit us over mlk weekend. It was fun! We went to pint Reyes golden gate park and gray whale cove! Stephen's cousin Johnny was also in town for a conference so we had dinner with him one night as well. Here are some pics from the trip.

Eight months!

My baby is growing so fast! It makes me sad... I can't believe he is already right months old! He is changing and discovering new things each day. Lately we have been trying out a ton if new foods. He especially loves finger foods that he can pick up and put in his mouth like puffs and yogurt melts. So far we haven't found a food he doesn't like!

Baby Stephen also got a new tooth this month! One on the top, but not one of the middle ones.

Baby Stephen has really started enjoying rides in the stroller. It has been so nice to be able to push him around when we go out places.

Baby Einstein is one of baby Stephens favorite things. He is not interested in other tv shows but as soon as baby Einstein comes on tv he becomes enthralled.

We are so obsessed with our baby! Here are some pics from the last month.
