9 months

 What a face!!  He had been asleep, and I was trying to get that, but he opened his eyes and gave me a glare...but only for a second.

Then he turned that frown upside down.

You can always get a smile out of this boy.

At nine months old, Cruz:

no longer spits up (yeah...I'd never had a baby that ralphed as much as he did)

can get to a sitting position all by himself

can get anywhere in this house

was army crawling until today...now he's crawling

loves Zander (and Zackery from a distance)

is really loud in church

still just has two teeth
can clap his hands
likes to say ga, gu, and da

is starting to eat real people food

tries to grab the spoon when being fed...he seems like he wants to feed himself

weighs 18 pounds even

refuses to hold still when being changed or dressed

IS SO MUCH FUN TO HAVE AROUND!
