9 Months Old Today

Today, Cylas, you are nine months old. Time is just flying by and I don't know how to react. Pretty soon you'll be turning one. I know that I am missing out on alot of milestones and I am missing that alot. I want to see you accomplish all this stuff. I don't want to think about what you might be doing. Unfortunately, I know that this will not be happening and that makes me feel so sad. I know that you would be making me and your sister laugh, and maybe even making your sister cry. I've been looking at some information on 9 month olds and it helps me see what I am missing.

What I'm Missing:

1. you would be walking while hanging onto furniture


2. you would be pulling yourself up


3. you would be using the "pincer grasp" to hold tiny objects


4. you would be drinking from a sippy cup


5. you would be saying "mama" or "dada"


6. you would understand the meaning of NO


7. I would be able to play peekaboo with you


8. I would be teaching you facial features


9. I would be seeing you and your sister having fun together

I listed some of the stuff that I missing out on. But above all else I am missing my little boy. I always miss you and I am dealing with it the best way I know how. I stay busy from the time I get up until I go to bed. I find it easier to stay busy than to be sitting around. Plus, I have your sister to entertain me and that is something she does very well!!

Happy 9 months!!! Love you and miss you!!! Please come for a visit tonight. Your sister is in need of some kisses, and I am too!!
