Andrew 9 months

Andrew turned 9 months old. He is 23lbs 98% in height and weight.  He's bigger than most 1 year oldS I know.  He is crawling, pulling up on everything and transferring to different places while standing.  He said, "ball" 2 days ago,  while playing with a ball.  It was the first purposeful word he's said,  despite the constant baaabaabbbaabba, mawmomaw he babbles. He got his first pair of shoes, size 5, which helps give him some traction to get around.  He gets into everything.  He loves to go to the kitchen and get the broom, steal Addie's crayons and eat them,  play in chords,  more chords and more chords, and then eat the remote. He is a big flirt, without much stranger danger still. Andrew's favorite food is apples and anything mixed with apples, and then bananas.
