9 Months: Tough week

I keep looking at the screen, not knowing what and how much to write.  I think the most I'll say, the most I want to remember about this week, is that our family lost a good friend.  He will be missed, dearly.

Miles had his pediatric visit on Monday.  He's up to the 7th percentile in weight.  I think we'll stick with our pediatrician.  She also said he's the youngest baby she's seen walking!  That's exciting!

He's getting more serious about walking.  He's steadier and can take more steps this week.  I think he'll be running around before we know it.

I think that's all I've got in me this week.  Here's our favorite little guy:

Miles hates being carried facing in. He's awake
in this picture; he's just silently protesting.

We made a blanket fort!

It was big enough that we could all fit inside! 

Miles eventually grew weary of it...

...and destroyed it. 

Just hanging out on the wall.

Miles has learned to play with the cats...
by stealing their toys and swinging them around.

Oh yeah.  We got a piano this week.

Hello!

I can pet the cat!

Little dude is totally in to Elmo.
Also, we have become very lazy parents.
