9 Months

Adam is 9 months old and wants to be 15 I think.  He loves the iPad, tv remotes, blu-ray player, sitting in the driver seat of the car and holding onto the wheel, standing, eating whatever we are eating even though he has 1 tooth, and pulling his highchair tray off and holding it above his head.  He also loves his daddy right now.  If Dan is in sight he wants him to hold him, not me.  He isn't quite crawling yet but rocks and takes a couple little slides forward or more often backwards.  He really prefers to stand though and is like a little monkey crawling up on us or furniture to try to get to a standing position.  He babbles saying dadada, mamama, and bababa.  When when hold him he grabs onto our hair at the back of our neck.  Dan likes it and thinks it feels like a mini head massage.  I just feel like Adam is constantly pulling my hair.  He really likes peekaboo and being startled if we jump out from hiding from him.  He will bounce a little or make humming noises if he hears music.  He likes to hold my hands and clap with me but he hasn't figured out he can do it by himself yet.  He has been much happier and comfortable since getting the tubes in his ears.  His cousin got this "rollercoaster" for Christmas and Dan had the bright idea to put Adam on it.  Are we surprised that Adam LOVED it?  No, not at all although I could hardly watch out of fear he would fall off any second.  Dan assured me though he was right there to catch him if he lost his balance.  So the kid can't crawl but he can ride a rollercoaster!
