Dante in his Crib

D's started to pull himself upright in the last week or so and we've had to lower the height of the floor in both cribs. The first day the height was lowered in the studio a couple of days ago he did THIS and I made a note that photos would HAVE to be produced.

Nine Months is definately a growth milestone - We need to do a major toy overhaul. He's "over" most of his baby toys. Hail to the god Craigslist to out the old and scout out the new. His toy mat used to pacify Dante for hours. Now that he's mastered turning on and off the music & lights - he's bored. Same with the infant swing - now he likes to grab the bars, stop movement and practie pull-ups with a wily grin. His crib mobile has no chance of survival now that he can stand up, grab it and rip it to shreds. I'd give his bouncy seat another month or two tops. Clothes - we'll that needs to be overhauled as well as he's wearing clothes for 12 - 18 month olds. Luckly for me that I loved the clothes in Spain and Morocco and went a bit crazy :-)

The three of us went to a parents party and our new friends Debra and Jon who have a nine month old named Newton. We felt toy envy and realized we're totally out of the loop on what's cool for kids at the moment. Dante has a blast playing with all these super cool toy trains, drums, crawl houses etc. Time for a trip to BuyBuybaby!
