Holbrook Family

9 MONTHS!!!

Our handsome little guy has mastered his crawling and is continuing to develop other skills. He's picked up speed in his crawling, learned how to go up the stairs, figured out how to get past the child locks on the kitchen cuboard, climbs over, under or through anything in his way, and loves to play with doors. He loves peek a boo (and will often cover his face or mine with his blanket), patty cake, and attempting to sing. He will still follow his sister around and wait outside the bathroom door when she's in there. He l.o.v.e.s. to move and it's quite a task to get him to hold still while changing his diaper.
Jacob's becoming a lot more interactive and it's a lot of fun. He'll start to crawl after Jeff or Emily and if they start growling he'll turn around and book it back into my arms and bury his head in my neck - laughing the whole time. He loves to make noise whether it's banging things together, on the tile or wood floor, the sliding door, or vocalizing. You can almost always catch him sitting on one leg with the other straight out in front of him - ready to take off in whichever direction he fancies. Jacob also LOVES to stand. He started pulling himself up right after he learned to crawl. He doesn't usually cruise, but he loves to let go and just see how long he can stand. He's getting really good and will go for 6 or 7 seconds before he either looses his balances or his interest.
