Gunnar is now almost 9 months old, and it's amazing what a difference just a few months makes. He is officially on the move, doing the military scoot (on his forearms) to get around. He's got 2 bottom teeth with a couple of top ones trying to poke through, he loves Cheerios (though by the looks of his belly, you'd swear he eats steak and potatoes every night), and his bubbly personality is constantly keeping us entertained. There is certainly nothing shy about this little guy - any trip to a restaurant turns into "The Gunnar Show." It's all very cute now, but I'm not sure how it will work out for him when he's older... From his highchair, he turns almost 360 degrees, looking for potential. He stares his victim down and shouts until he gets their attention. He then proceeds to flirt with them throughout the entire meal. Today, he was making such a racket at a brewery we went to, that 3 ladies from the other side of the bar came by to see what all the buzz was about. Gunnar flashed them his adorable smile, and even with his Cheerio-crusted cheeks, he won them over.
Besides picking up the ladies, Gunnar's been discovering all kinds of new things lately...
1st Snow (it was cold and wet - not very enticing to play in)
1st Swim (loved the water! fell asleep in Mama's arms while bouncing in the pool)
1st Swing (thanks Rooty and Daddy!)
1st Plane Trip - went to Colorado to see Aunt Lizzie & family (didn't mind plane ride - it was 1st class, after all! - got sick in Denver, then passed it on to his Dad and cousin, but still had fun!) - Here's a picture from our hike up Castle Rock.
Phew! All of these adventures are enough to wear a boy out!
