My 9 month Old

Have I really been a mom for 9 months already? It seems like just yesterday that I taking my little boy home from the hospital.

He's been keeping me busy these days. Always, ALWAYS moving. Can hardly keep up with him. Pulling himself up on everything. He went from slithering everywhere to doing a full out real crawl now.

Baby-Led weaning has been working out well for us. He eats a variety of foods. I was a little worried about the orange today, but he seemed to like it. His pincer grasp has developed quite well. He can pick up any small piece of food and get it to his mouth just fine.

He also is "sharing." He likes to offer up whatever he's playing or eating. I pretend to take or eat it to encourage him to share.

I used to think I kept a pretty clean house until I found him finding little things (like pieces of fuzz) and putting them into his mouth.

He has 2 teeth on the bottom now and another one on the way. The poor kid is in a lot of pain and sleeps even worse than ever now. We have found two secret weapons (for the sleep) that seem to do the trick though: The vacuum and dancing with mom to Jack Johnson. Any suggestions on ways to help with the teething would be greatly appreciated.
