Look MaMa, No Crawling (9 Months)

Despite being congested with both sinus and chest phlegm this week, Myles still managed to have fun with all the Kleenex we had to go thru cleaning up his snot.

Automated Aspirator
And speaking of snot, our automated aspirator broke this week. What bad timing. Bah. We got to found out just how much we like it versus the manual hand-squeeze ones. We even made an "emergency run" to Babys-R-Us to get a new one, but they were out. Ack.

Sweet Brikiti
We totally love our nanny Brikiti (pictured below), but we suspect she may be adding fruit to all of his meals to sweeten them up a bit. It seems that every time WE feed him savory lunch and dinner on the weekends he doesn't take to it as well as Brikiti says he does when he eats with her. Or maybe he just like eating with her more than us. :)

No Crawling "mama", Me Walk
We have mentioned this before, but Myles does not particularly like being on his stomach, and thus, we haven't exposed him enough to skills needed for crawling. He is 9 months now and Myles is still not even close to crawling. He doesn't even want to crawl. He shows zero sign of interest in it. But man oh man does he ever want to walk! With assistance he will walk clear across the house!

Unassisted Pullup to Standing
But before he can walk he is going to have to learn to get up on his legs from a sitting position. He made the first move toward doing that this week by pulling up on a table top without any assistance from us. Way to go buddy!

Weekend Partying
This weekend saw much partying for Mom, Dad, and Myles. We had friends (Gunthar, Chelsea, Beorn, Maryrose, and Chris) over on Saturday for lunch, and on Sunday we had dinner at The Curtises. Good times.
