Happy 9 Month Birthday Gideon!

Gideon is a very active little man these days. He starting crawling (instead of his army crawl), and hasn't been still since. Now that he can get around he is very content to just wander around the house and check out what everyone is doing. Gideon is still a very, very, very happy little guy. He is always smiling! He thinks that Elijah is the coolest person ever. He thinks Emme is hilarious, and he giggles at pretty much everything she does. Gideon has finally taken to solid food and will eat pretty much anything. He has recently found his voice and he hasn't been quiet since. He is always talking and singing. He has a very sweet, gentle little voice. We all enjoy hearing what he has to say. Gideon figured out how to pull himself up to things and now feels like he has to conquer everything! 

Gideon loves the puppy walker that he got for Christmas from Grandma and Grandpa Tuggle. He likes to turn it sideways and then push it while he walks. He also likes to lay over the top of the seat on his belly and kick his little legs. He just giggles and giggles, it is pretty hilarious to watch.   

 Gideon LOVES his music table. He loves to make it play songs and then dance and sing to them.

 He has to be involved in everything I do. And now that he can pull himself up to the dishwasher he is my little dish washing buddy. He most definitely is a helper, and of course he doesn't ever get in the way. 

Gideon has discovered the stairs and he spends a good part of his day trying to climb them. He can get himself up onto the landing and he can even get himself down. If you count purposefully face planting off of it as getting down. It gets the job done right! LOL
