Tucker is starting to turn into a little boy (rather than a baby) more and more every week! He has been sleeping through the night the past couple of weeks, and I've only had to get up with him twice! We were prepared for many sleepless nights trying to get him to sleep through the night, but he must have heard us talking because it only took him one night and then he has had it figured out since!
He has needed all of that extra sleep because he has been busy moving!! He can climb all the way to the top of our stairs which is almost 20! We are, of course, right behind him with our hands ready in case he slips (which he does from time to time as he's looking around at how high he is)! Last night, Jeremy showed him how to climb down the stairs backwards on his tummy and he had it mastered by the end of the night! He's also starting to get pretty good with the walker over the last couple days, but he still drops to his knees and "sprint crawls" when he wants to get to something quickly.
He's been waving "hi/bye" and says "babababa" with some prompting from Mom and Dad. He "talks" pretty constantly now and it seems like some of the sounds are so close to actual words. I swear I've heard "kitty" and "Oliver" come out of his mouth, but that could just be my ears playing tricks. He loves chasing the cats around the house, and he thinks it's pretty funny when they "meow." I'm afraid that "meow" will be his first word, but I guess there are worse options.
He has tried several new foods this week. I got him some tofu and he really likes it. Sometimes, it's hard to get him to eat off of a spoon, so I'm trying to find finger foods that he can feed to himself that still provide good nutrition. The tofu is perfect, so I'm so glad that he likes it! Any other ideas? He also tried a little bit of pancake topped with blueberries, but wasn't a huge fan. On the other hand, he was a huge fan of raw cucumbers, red/yellow peppers, and tomatoes. I think we will be eating a lot of gazpacho this summer! Yum!
Here is your last look at our 9 month old. He turns 10 months old this Saturday!!

| Daddy had to lower my crib because I'm getting to tall for it! |
 |
| I love my alphabet wall! |
 |
| Grandma and Grandpa got me a new swing. How many adults does it take to get a baby into a swing? |
 |
| Grandpa got it figured out! |
 |
| Weeeee! |
 |
| Swinging is so much fun! |
 |
| I'm not so sure about this slide. |
 |
| Maybe it will be better with Mom? |
 |
| Ok, that's pretty fun, too! |
 |
| I need to make a gift for my grandmas for Mother's Day. |
 |
| How am I supposed to be the next Picasso when you keep interrupting me? |
 |
| I think this one is about done. |
 |
| I got paint allllll over!! I'm a messy little boy! |
 |
| This is how I smile when the flash blinds me. I still look good, right? |
 |
| Am I in trouble for making a mess? |
 |
| I would rather play with my bath toys than get cleaned up! |
 |
| I can carry almost anything in my mouth. It's almost as good as Mom's large satchel! :) |
 |
| Great Grandma and I played a drum duet on the ottoman. |
 |
| I love laughing with Mommy. We went to Cherry Berry for Mother's Day. |
