The stats.....

Leyton went to the doctor today for his 9 month check up. She said everything looked good, and she would probably see us back in about a month for his flu shot, yikes! He weighed in at 19 lbs. 5.5 oz, and is 29 1/4 inches long!!! Still very long. I dont think he is taking after his mama on that one.




This is how i found him this morning. He always wakes up
so happy!


Playing with one of his many toys!

9 Months Old!

I cant believe it... in just 3 short months, my baby boy is going to be 1 year old! Leyton is a busy busy busy boy these days! This little guy does not like to sit still for a minute. He is crawling EVERYWHERE, and fast! He loves the door stops in the house. Every single time I put him on the floor in my bedroom, he heads straight for the bathroom and plays with the door stop. He loves the "spring" sound it makes. He has pulled it off twice now.

Another thing that we LOVE these days is Peek-a-Boo! I took Leyton to Memphis on Saturday shopping. A lady came up to us in Macy's talking to Leyton, and he pulled his lovie over his eyes. When she said "peek-a-boo" he would pull it down and smile at her. He did it like 5 times! It was so freaking cute! And today, he was standing on the couch, and would bury his head in the cushion, and wait for me to ask "Where is Leyton?" before he would look up.

Thornton and I lowered Leyton's bed to the lowest level the other night. Joyce said that she came in his room when he woke up from a nap, and he was standing straight up in the bed. He is so tall that the railing was hitting him midway on his chest, so we had to lower it all the way down. Now, when he is not standing up, it is hard for me to get him out! He is still talking his baby talks all day, sleeping great, making new sounds, etc. He is even mocking people! We went to Abby and Graydon's on Sunday to watch the Rebels play. Allie Harris started coughing, so Leyton fake coughed back to her! But he does not like anyone to mock him. If you do, he screams at you!

The changing table used to be his favorite place when he was really little, now he hates it! I have to put him on it to change him because if i change him on the bed or the floor i have to wrestle with him to keep him still. But when i first put him on the changing table, he screams until i give him something to play with while i change him. And if you tell him "No" to something, he does this funny thing with his nose and pouts for a minute. Too funny!

I cant say it enough what a WONDERFUL baby Leyton is. He is just always happy and easy going. I took him to Memphis with me on Saturday and he was such a trooper! And i took him to Greenwood on Monday to look at furniture with DD, and he was great! He never fussed. He is truly a blessing, and we thank God for him every day!!!!

We are going to the doctor next week for our 9 month well baby check up. Will update the stats after that!

will lean so he can see around you.
So happy at breakfast

Laying in bed with Daddy... well, Daddy is laying. Leyton is trying
