9 months!


Keegan Reese Hutchison, I cannot believe you are 9 months old today!  This year is flying by so quickly and I'm holding on to every minute of these sweet baby days.  You are 18.5 pounds of strong baby boy, crawling everywhere and pulling up on everything. 

 You are such a happy boy and you sleep so much better now,  usually only getting up once at night and taking two good naps a day.Your army crawl turned into a real crawl about two weeks ago and you are so fast!  You think it's funny to crawl quickly away from me when you know I need you for a diaper or clothing change :-)  We gave you your big tonka truck early and it is your favorite thing to play with now.  You love to push it along and scoot along behind it. 



You cut your two bottom teeth this month which surprised us so much because your sister didn't get her first tooth until 13 months.  She got a mouthful at 13 months and I think that's happening to you now.


You say 'Da Da' all day long which is funny because you are such a mama's boy.  You follow me around the house and tug on my pants to get my attention.  You can pull up on my legs now and when those arms go up in the air, I can't help but pick you up every time. You can fall asleep in my lap almost anywhere.  I love, love, love holding you! 
You laugh so easily and it is so infectious!  When you start laughing we all crack up.  You still love Ava so much and you are into ALL of her things.  Trying to keep you from destroying her doll house and lego buildings is not easy because you always want to 'play' where she is playing.  I have a feeling that this may go on for quite a while.  You two are so precious when you do play together.  I love to watch you interact with each other.

You are about to celebrate your 1st Christmas even though you have no idea what's going on.  You probably think that Christmas just means "NO" since that's what it seems we say all the time about you getting into the Christmas tree, presents, wrapping paper & crafts.  But as we celebrate the birth our our Savior this year our hearts are filled with thanksgiving for you!  You are an absolute joy and a beautiful blessing to our family.  Happy 9 months!  We love you sweet Keegan!
