Teddy is NINE months old!!!

I know I say this every single month, but it is really REALLY hard to believe that Teddy is already NINE months old! This little boy is growing so quickly... Thankfully I was able to keep him on the rocking chair- only because the chair allows you to lock it in a position. Teddy was all smiles when taking the pictures, though he was very busy and not interested in sitting still: Dude- your diaper cover is showing... at least it matches though! As Teddy gets bigger, we are acquiring even more stuff. Teddy and I went to our neighbor's garage sale and we got some GREAT deals. I am VERY excited about our new jogging stroller:

(and was also very excited about the price!!) Now I have no excuse not to run. I guess I will train for that half marathon after all. I also got a great deal on this huge pack-n-play: It is perfect especially since Teddy is into EVERYTHING these days. And I am a super-paranoid mom. So now I can have some much needed "breaks" from Teddy to do things around the house, without worrying about what he is pulling up on or what he has put into his mouth now. And so far he seems to like playing in it. When he's not in the pack-n-play, Teddy is a very busy little boy. He loves playing, and especially seems to like standing up at this toy:
He works on his laptop:
and loves to play in his ball pit: Teddy also loves to feed himself:
Here he is enjoying his new car seat:

Here is a video of Teddy playing hard:

Teddy is such a fun little boy- he enjoys playing with everything. At the grocery store the other day, the check out lady gave us this balloon- and it provided great entertainment for our little man:

(He even continued to play with it the next day, after the helium was gone, until he accidentally popped it!)
