9 Months Young

This is what NINE months old looks like!  Walker Owens, this last month you mastered crawling, the stair gates went up, and the little Legos went up higher. You've slimmed down to 19 pounds but still fill out your 12 months clothes no problem. You started swim lessons and have mastered the back float. You love water in any form, bath, pool, or hose, just not in a sippy cup. You've added watermelon, peaches, chicken, and anything else edible to your list of favorite foods. You continue to rock sleeping through the night and love when you get your morning nap, you tolerate "brother piles" when you're on the bottom, and love chewing on books. Stranger danger has set in and you look for mama whenever new people are around. We can't believe we're 3/4 of the way through your first year....happy 9 month birthday chunky monkey, we love you!!!
