Merritt Wylie 9 Months!

 
Where did the last month go?!?! He is turning into a big boy right before our eyes...make it stop!! :)
 
He isn't walking yet, but gets closer and closer everyday!
 
His official weight 22.7 lbs is and height is 28 1/4 inches. He is wearing 12-18 month Gymboree clothes and 18 month in Carters and still in size 4 diapers.
 
His favorite toys really haven't changed, he is just learning how to really play with them...he loves his farm walker, some fun stacking buckets is Aunt JayJay got him, and Little People! I am most excited about the Little People because I have been collecting them since I found out I was having a baby!! :) Needless to say, we have lots!!

He is doing fabulous with his finger food, and is pretty much on the same schedule with his food as last month. I will probably start to take away the 5:00 bottle gradually and start letting him have supper with us!

He now has 8 teeth! 4 on the top and 4 on the bottom, and let me tell you, they are sharp!!

He is really getting more vocal and loves to say Go Go Go, he is still waving bye bye and clapping away! Sometimes I think he says "Uh-oh" after I say it, when he falls or drops something...it sounds more like Uhhhhhhhhh Uhh Uhh Uhh...so who knows?!??! He also loves to blow raspberries (his tractor) and make a laughing noise that sounds like ah ah ah ah ah! He has now entered the world of fit throwing, for which I am not very pleased! Ha! Hopefully it will pass soon..hehe ;)
 
We love you to the moon and back, baby boy!

Baby's First Harvest!

Merritt had such a good time in the combine, well at least for the 15 minutes that he stayed awake..haha!! He loved watching and looking at everything, but the sound and movement just put him right to sleep!! He's such a good little farmer :)

Baby's First Halloween!!

A little early maybe, but I wanted him to be able to play with/read all the fun things I got him :) He absolutely LOVES the Little People set (can be purchased from the Fisher Price Website)!! My Momma had the same one at her house and he loved it there too! The big orange Little People box in the pic is actually not the one I gave him...that is the Halloween Farm set that I am saving for next year, but I got them mixed up and didn't realize until we opened it..hehe :) 
 
He also loves the pumpkin tote with all the fun toys inside (got it and the soft photo album form Zulily) all the little toys either make noise, squeak, or rattle...so cute!!
 
He loves for you to read him books and "help" turn the pages, so I couldn't wait to give him all these that I have been hoarding since they went on clearance last year! In to the Holiday Book Basket they go!! (http://thefarmerandthesouthernbelle.blogspot.com/2012/03/reading-roundup.html)
 
 Of course, his most favorite of all the "happys" is the pumpkin sippy cup ..this boy loves a straw!! ha!
 



 




 
 My Momma got his costume (Thanks Honey!) and it just arrived yesterday! Let me just tell you, I laughed for a good 30 minutes once we finally got it on him...SOOO CUTE!! Stay tuned :)
