Dear Grant - 9 Months - McGuire Family Blog

Turtle, you are nine months old and the snuggliest, squishiest, loviest buddy! Month nine was huge. We had all the Christmas fun we could handle and then hunkered down for some good, old fashioned quality time at home. It was the best.

We started the month with a visit to Santa. I was a little worried, because you have been aaaalllllll about your people lately, but you loved him! I loved seeing you in Davis’s first Santa outfit. In fact, you spent most of this month in Christmas hand-me-downs. It was kind of the best.

You also really nailed down crawling this month…sort of. You aren’t up on hands and knees, but you army crawl so fast! You are going wherever you want to go, which is usually right after me. I won’t even pretend like I’m bothered by it.

We started trying real food this month, and you were less than thrilled. Davis was over baby food at this point, but you are enjoying your bottles and purees. Puffs however…big fan. Huge.
