Spence is 9 months!!

I can't believe that it's already been 9 months. This time is flying by. As you may have seen from previous posts, Spence is growing growing growing and picking up all sorts of new skills. It's amazing how quickly he learns new things. Last week, he was starting to pull himself up to standing, but usually needed help to get all the way up to his feet. Well, this week, he's getting up to his feet in his crib, in front of the tv and sofa, on some toys, and his favorite, on my legs. His legs are already so much stronger - I wish I gained muscle like this (of course, if I worked my muscles as much as he does, I probably would...hmm something to think about separately...). Anyway, now he's starting to cruise which is walking along while holding on to something. More surprising, he's reaching for objects that are out of arms length. He's definitely thinking, "ok, how to get there without having to drop to the ground". My bet is that he's walking in the next two months...YIKES!

Pictures from today are below.
