Dear Baby Snow ~ 9 months old!

Dear Baby Snow,

You're freaking huge! No seriously stop growing please. You're already in 18 month clothes and you're only 9 months old! Mommy's giant.

Well little monster it's been a while. You've got two teeth now and you're crawling and standing.

You're current favorite thing to say is "No mom!" I'm not 100% sure you know what it means but you sure like to say it. "Jonathon?" "No mom!" I try to hug you and it's "No mom!" You're pretty rude little man.

You can also say "Dad" and "Boob" and "Ew" You're learning so much so fast it's crazy! You're favorite place to play is the jolly jumper and you walk with it. You've come to me more than once just for a hug before you keep playing.

I love you so much little man, you have no idea. You're so happy all the time and your smile lights up my universe.

Your first birthday is in 2 months and that's completely insane! You had your first christmas already too. So many firsts.

Blues Clues has become a permanent fixture on our TV. If we so much as turn the TV on you instantly wake up and stare until Blues Clues is turned on. It's at the point where we know every episode off by heart. I've tried to convert you to other shows, Zaboomafoo, Bubble Guppies, Clifford, but no it has to be "Boos Coos" or no one is happy and I do mean no one.

Your temper tantrums are horrible! You stomp and jump and scream and throw stuff, it's the worst.

You're bouncing and smiling at me as I write this. When you get really happy you scream...like you just did, there's a reason I call you little monster.

You're finally in a snuggly phase! FINALLY! After 9 months you let me hug you sometimes! See the thing is you're really fluffing cute I just want to hug you all the time but you never wanted hugs until now. It's perfect!

Me and dad have a rule where whoever you hug first gets to be your snuggle buddy for the day. I win a lot (I may cheat and make you hug me but that's our little secret kay?)

You still sleep on our bed but that's okay. You're my little baby alarm and I love waking up to you hugging me. It's perfect little monster. You're my whole world and I love you so much.

Dad played you guitar the other day, you loved it. You wanted to try too so dad let you and you spent a good half hour just hitting it and laughing away.

You seem like you're sleepy so I'm going to end this here and get you a snack before we all head off to bed. Love you.

Until Next Time, Mom.
