Just as Ryan turned 9 months, he hit another milestone...pulling up! Ryan figured out how to pull himself up onto the ottoman over the weekend, and the rest is history. Now he tries to lift his body using anything that is raised from the ground...no matter how unstable that object may be. We are now entering the phase where Ryan will be getting lots of bumps and bruises. So far, Ryan seems very tough. He has fallen many times and has yet to cry. Also at nine months, Ryan has 4 new teeth on top to add to the 2 on the bottom. He is eating more foods and likes to feed himself. Ryan babbles constantly, and plays by himself nicely for a little while in the crib while we hit "snooze" a couple of times.
Ryan got in his PJ's and went to sleep while we drove to Augusta on Friday night.
