9 months, really, already?!!!!!

I cannot believe the little human you are becoming. You have the best tempermant of any baby I have ever met. I think that any one has ever met. You can just tell how kind hearted you are and easy to please. You really have a permagrin on your face. It is the most amazing feeling when you get a glimpse of us when we pick you up out of your crib, or walk back in to a room, and you just starting smiling and cooing. Your smile is jsut the cutest and beyond infectious. It makes everyone feel so warm and fuzzy and so important. AJ you really make the world smile.

Your mobility is growing leaps and so are you. It is really amazing thinking that not long ago when I would rock you to sleep you were just so tiny and now at your last appointment you weighed around 21 lbs. You are such a big boy! You are still topping the charts for height, so lets just keep on growing boy! You are sitting up on your own, you still prefer the scoot motion to the crawling motion. You are a monster in your ferrari, let nothing stand in your way alive or fixed. (Poor Reilly boots) You are pulling yourself up to stand. When you hold us by our fingers you are well aware of the walking motion and get so excited. It is only a matter of time that my step count goes through the roof chasing you around.

When I take you to Kathy's you have a line of kids waiting to see you. They sometimes even chant, "AJ, AJ." It is so fun, they just love you too. I am so glad you already have a network of friends and Kathy takes good care of you.

The whole way to and from Kathy's house you just talk to me and on occasion I will sing and you just smile the whole time and giggle. Daddy is teaching you to say "Uh Oh," so we play that game back and forth. I love looking at you in the rearview mirror, you are a dream come true in all ways. We have been blessed with the best baby EVER, I am sure of it.

When you and I get our quality alone time, we have a snack and then vacumn, and then you crawl everywhere and try to get to all places I have blocked off- just like you are supposed to! Then we engage in a little face time with Grandma, she helps babysit that way too!

Then you let me know when you are ready for a bottle and fall asleep in my arms. Once again I never want to put you down, sometimes at night I rock you to sleep and just keep on rocking until my eyes start to close- you are always in good hands!

We had a family Valentine's night with cousins and aunts and uncles and once again Auntie terry made sure you were the best dressed in your "Mr. Valentines" outfit. It was too much, we loved it.

Things are just so much more fun with you! Daddy and I have gone on a few dates with you and you are always full of conversation and laughs, can't wait until the next one.

Keep on growing honey, keep on smiling, keep on pulling yourself up on tables and in your crib. Keep on laughing, keep on talking, and keep on loving. You just keep on being you and all of us will just keep on supporting and loving you.

TEAM COLLINS FOREVER!
