9 months old: Favourite moments

• Walking into the nursery after he has just woken up, and seeing him grin and rock back and forth when he sees me.
• Seeing the looks of adoration that pass between my husband and my son when they play together.
• Clapping my hands, and seeing my son start clapping too.
• That quiet dream breastfeeding session just before I go to sleep.
• Watching my son feed himself and taste new foods for the first time.
• Surprising him with a toy and hearing him laugh.
• Picking him up when he cries and hearing him relax in my arms.
• Reading to him and have him help me turn the pages.
• Seeing my husband and my son playing together.
• Laying down together and rolling around on the floor with my son.
• Going for a walk through the park together.
• Seeing his fascination with our cats.

We are so very lucky. I am so thankful every day that somehow fortune favoured us, and we ended up with this incredibly funny and healthy little boy.
