9 months old
Otto turned 9 months old on May 30,2012. A lot has happened since his last update (6 months). It's amazing to watch him hit new milestones and to watch his face as he realizes he learned something new.
*Sits up all by himself
He is a champ at eating solid foods now - mostly puréed fruits & veggies from a jar. He has SIX teeth now so we've started giving him puffs/small table foods. At first we would break them up because they were so big and he would gag. Now we are able to give him the whole piece and he will gnaw on it.

Jef and I celebrated our 8 year wedding anniversary on May 22. We had our friend watch Otto during the day so we could hit a movie. We ended up seeing 'What To Expect When You're Expecting'. Funny since we left our baby to go watch a movie about a bunch of other people having babies. Later that night we went to dinner and took Otto along. Here he is enjoying the rice at Tito's Mexican Restaurant. He also enjoyed the huslte & bustle of the wait staff.

On May 31, he started showing signs of Hand, Footh & Mouth Disease (I hate calling it a disease because its actually a virus). It started with a fever & breaking out in red bumps & blisters. We kept him home over the Memorial Day Weekend. On Saturday his fever went away and he started eating solid foods again, but up until then he was pathetic. Poor guy!
