This is a week late for a nine month update..but we've been rather busy keeping up with our chubby little love and all the Dr appointments for little sister on the way!
Collin is the most amazing, happy, loving little boy! He is really enjoying all the new foods he gets to try and he loves to play with his many toys. He has gotten a lot better at enduring lengths of tummy time and we notice him getting stronger everyday. He loves to "stand" up he usually holds our hands and stands for minutes at a time. His legs are very very strong. He now reaches for his toes and will hold on to his feet :)
He still has some weakness in his upper body, but he continues to develop skills in that department as well. He reaches and grabs for toys and he thoroughly enjoys chomping on his hands and toys! We believe this is the beginning stages of teething, though we don't see any teeth just yet. He also does a little bit of scootching around of the floor and pivoting! Perhaps he will crawl soon?! He also started to "sit up" mostly propped but a couple of times on his own he can last almost a minute without toppling over. The only problem is his upper body/back strength. He sits but slouched/leaning forward and we are working with him and p.t to get him to be able to control those muscles.
He currently sleeps through the night, but is giving us a bit of trouble going down for naps! He is VERY social and nosey, and doesn't like to sleep when there is action going on around him.
Other than that, no complaints, we have truly been blessed with the BEST BOY :)

You are correct, we are all blessed with the BEST boy!
