Crawling all over the place at 9 months old

Levi is 9 months old today! Yippy!! He is just growing up so fast. I just read my last post and realized that it has been a very eventful month since he wasn't crawling yet last time I wrote. Boy has that changed our lives. Levi can now get into everything and anything. I have had to baby-proof our house and yet it still seems I am always telling him "no" and taking things out of his hands. But I am almost to the point that, with the bathroom door closed and the gate on the stairs, I feel comfortable with him wandering anywhere he wants in the upstairs and I don't have to be watching him every second.

One of Levi's cute new things is that whenever I bring out the camera he gives me great big smiles. It is so funny, he acts like he really knows what to do when I want to take his picture.

"SAY CHEESE"

The very first place that Levi pulled himself up onto was the bathtub, and he has loved it ever since. If the bathroom door is ever opened, he heads right to the bathtub and stands up next to it.

First the bathtub...

Now everything else.

I was having maybe a little bit too much fun with his hair!

Levi also loves the outdoors. Whenever the front door opens he races over and tries to get outside, but.... I'm a lot fast then him and the door always closes in his face. I think this picture was taken after Brad left for work out the door and Levi tried to follow him. Aaaaahhhh.

This is the FUNNIEST picture ever. I think it says it all - Levi loves his ball.
