Wade is 9 months!!!!!!!!!

Wade is so fun. 

He loves to eat and says “mmm” throughout meals. He also loves feeding Fred. 

Wade says “hey!” to us and we all think it’s the cutest thing. He’s also said “hi” and “dada”. 

He smiles so big and his little teeth are always showing. 

Wadeypoo loves seeing himself in the mirror. He hates baths so much, but getting him out and standing in front of the mirror while being dried off is his favorite part of the day!

 Rickypoo loves showering and often crawls into the shower to play and hide!

 Today I showed him a picture of himself we have hanging in his bedroom and he thought that baby was so cute! Hahah! 

He’s starting to realize that momma leaves to go to work, and does great with sitters. He also likes Isabel at the gym daycare! 

We are getting into the groove of a morning routine and it’s so sweet to go on a walk each day together. 

He loves to play the piano. He sings while he hits the keys. While cleaning up the other day I was singing and held a note. Wade looked at me and TRULY copied the note and sang with me! 

He is so ticklish and still very jumpy when Gwen scares him.

 He is the best baby. I love every stage of him! Jake is absolutely his best friend and I love it. Jake and I sat side by side and called Wade. Surprisingly he came to me instead of Jake, but I chalked it up to him wanting a quick snuggle before he went to wrestle J.

I am often in disbelief that Wade is our baby. I wanted him for so long and now to have him feels so surreal. He's already such a big boy and it's truly bittersweet. All of his firsts and lasts are extra special. He is ALL of our baby. Gwen and Emily love him so much and so deeply. Seeing them be his sisters gives me so much joy. 

It was hard to pick this month's picture because he was doing such funny expressions! 

So proud to be with his daddy! 

Twins in matching neon!

Father's Day matching ties. Wade couldn't hang that week, so we got quick picture before he napped. 

Loves being in the water and mud! 

His favorite place to hide and explore! 

Look at those teethers! 

He was a little nervous about this swing ride! 

Wade's always surprised he can't just go right through this window. He's our second little puppy. Fred gets annoyed that his spot was taken! Ha!

Sleepy guy!!!!!!!! HE IS SO DELICIOUS!
