9 months

welp, link has gone and done it again. another month has flown by and here i sit, the mother of a nine month old. yes, he turned 9 months on friday, and to say this has been a very fun month would be an understatement. WHAT a fun age this is!!

he is becoming more independent by the day, and i'm not sure if i am happy or sad about that. ;) we sit and marvel at his growth (literally, his growth - he is 2.5 feet tall!). everyday with this sweet child just gets better and we fall further in love with this boy.

link, you are growing into the sweetest little boy. you love to play peek-a-boo, wave "hi" and smile at anyone who will look your way. you are full of personality and a joy to be around. we love you!!!

and we got the BEST gift for his 9 month birthday - his baby nephew was born! literally 9 months to the day. amazing. we are so excited to welcome jack hudson pritchard to the world. and congrats to his parents, judd and jacque! he is ADORABLE.

we stayed at hunny and papa's house this weekend so we would be close to fort worth and could go see baby jack a couple of times. link had so much fun at their house with all the toys (after 3 kids and now their 8th grandchild, there are a LOT of toys at that house), not to mention having his hunny and papa there to play with him non-stop!

oh how he loves his papa...and a ride around the cul-de-sac in his convertible!!

he is completely mobile, crawling, standing, even taking a few steps (not walking, just letting go and taking a few here and there). link, you are TOUGH to keep up with, but it is SO much fun for me to watch you explore your world.

happy 9 months, little man. we are so proud of you and can't soak this in fast enough. we love you!
