1. I now have four bottom teeth, and little white spots showing on the top row. I continue to drool like a waterfall.
2. Just a few days ago (April 29) I pulled myself up to a standing position (see photo below). Later that night, Dad came to check on me to make sure I was sleeping, but he found me standing in my crib smiling in the dark. The next day, my crib mattress was lowered.
3. I haven't figured out how to sit back down, so when my legs get wobbly, I cry and wail until someone comes to help me.
4. I traveled to China for two weeks and saw Shanghai and Beijing. I rode planes, trains, taxis, and boats.
5. I now can say, "mama," and I say it whenever I want to see mom, or when I want food, or when I want to sleep, or when I want to play, or when I need my diaper changed. Mom says she's going to teach me new vocabulary words like "papa."
6. I scream in protest when anyone removes my toys.
7. I love to eat teething biscuits, rice cakes, tofu, avocado, and rice porridge.
8. I can sit by myself and eat in a highchair.
9. I am losing my cheeks (facial).
10. I have learned how to shake my head, "no!"

Wow, what an accomplished baby!
But what can we do about those lost cheeks? My mommy always staples mine on my face so I don't lose em. (JUST KIDDING, don't call child protective services on us).
i can't believe he can do all those things ... then again, i can't believe he's 9 months already!
it must be so sweet to hear him say "mama." that is, until that's all he says! "papa" would indeed be a great new word. ;)
i cannot wait to see him again -- it's just amazing how quickly they change and become little people.
Go Devon! You rock!
Sorry, I meant Devin-- my other friend has a kid named Devon and I keep mixing up the spelling. ^^;;
