Mover.
Coleman, that’s what word describes you best as you turn 9 months old this week. I think that you are even happier than ever because now you are independent enough to go where you want to go on your own instead of having to wait around for someone else to do it for you.
You still [...]

Coleman has a cold. I thought it was just teething (he officially has four new teeth that have broken through) but then came a little cough and the runny nose that is has escalated into the “eeew yuck” category. It doesn’t alarm me. No, I do not think he has H1N1. But I am curious, [...]

From the very beginning of my pregnancy I decided that I wanted to try and savor the experience for the simple reason that I’m not sure if I will have the chance again to go through each step and phase of motherhood.

At six months old…
1. You are eating 2-3 Stage 1 baby foods for each meal and still have a few bottles a day as well. You open your mouth for each bite and swallow like a pro except when you’re showing us your champion spitting skills.
