Week 40: 9 Months Old! What a trip.

So he has been out as long as he was in, huh? That's awesome!

What has he been up to this month? He eats by himself (when he feels like it), he wakes with his walker (when he feels like it), he dances by shoulder shrugs and knee bounces (when he feels like it), he screamed constantly this month (he is almost done now!), and he scales the furniture (always). He has attached to a daily routine that really works for him and this momma feels great about it! His naps are consistently 1 hour - 1.5 hours and he eats anything we give to him (minus like 3 things). He is teething at the moment and has been his worst bout of it. Still not comparable to the majority of the stories I read and hear from other moms BUT he has goobers and congestion which hasn't changed his cheerful demeanor at all.

Lovin' bath time, finally!

Nightly, storytime via record player.

Starting to love this thing.

This teething really knocks him out when he sleeps.

People, like most other moms, I love my kid so much. He is just the best.

Last weekend, we traveled down to St. Louis for another baseball game. Rollie went to chillax at the Klinge grandparent's home. He loved his time there and really came back rejuvenated, just like mom and dad. It has been a GREAT week back after vacation.

While in St. Louis, we traveled to the Arch, the stadium, great bfast, good bbq, Anheuser-Busch brewery tour, and a fun stroll down Blueberry Hill. We even savored some delicious rootbeer (Fitz's) from their brewery. We even went to Eureka, MO to go to Six Flags. Man, did I feel old. I got a killer head ache and my skeletal was just a mess that night. So fun, just so fun.

This elevator car was so fun for me.

This is Stephen Voght. He is the catcher
for Oakland. he LITERALLY held a 1 min
convo with me. I was super pumped about it.

This place has bomb blueberry donuts.
And cinnamon fritters for that matter.

A GREAT wine bar in Eureka. We had beer, ha!

We were ALL tired by the end of the
weekend. HA!
