9 months!! Can you see my teeth?

Mateo turned 9 months yesterday - January 23. He is a little man now with two little teeth and more hair, curly hair - like Pat when he was little. He is also very happy most of the time. Just two weeks ago he started to crawl but now he would rather be standing up and practicing walking by cruising in the crib or holding our hands. I think he knows that walking is much more fun because he can see much more in that position. 

Oh, and he is loving books now. Specially picture books where he can see animals and us making the sounds of the animals. He has this way of communicating now that we can just tell what he wants or needs right away. When I leave for work, I do not sneak out, I say good bye and he watch me go. He used to attempt to cry but now he looks at my mom and says something in his language. He knows I will be back and he is happy staying home with my mom.
