Dear Matteo,
You turned nine months old this month. You have become so hyperactive - crawling and standing every chance you get. We're still breastfeeding, but you have grown to be such a great eater that it amazes me sometimes. You have developed your pincer grip too. The puffs helped, which I know are not very healthy but I have learned to choose my battles wisely now :D Your favorite food to eat are pancakes (which I only let you enjoy as a treat from time to time), bananas, pears, and toast. You got to taste ketchup because Emma wanted to share her fries with you, but I don't think you liked it very much judging by the face you made afterwards.
I am so happy that I get to witness your milestones. You've been learning more and more "tricks" as the days go by, waving bye, clapping your hands, giving (tentative) high fives, doing the cutest sour face ever, and even leaning your head to the side. You are becoming quite the comedian, repeating your antics whenever you see the people around you laugh. You are my and your dad's constant source of happiness. I don't think we've ever laughed so hard than when we're with you. I hope that you continue to be a happy baby boy, and I can't wait to go on adventures with you.
