Dear Fischer,

In the past couple weeks, you have officially become a mover and a shaker. You are "crawling", if that's what you want to call it, everywhere. It's more like a mix between a roll and a crawl. You have no interest in pulling up or standing at this point but you sure have figured out how to move very quickly at your roll-crawl. As I watched you explore the house today, I couldn't help but think, "This is it. This is when he starts moving and won't stop." Fischer Knox, I don't know where exactly you are going to go in life. I don't know where the Lord will take you and it doesn't matter to me as long you follow Him there. I'm asking Him to use you in mighty ways and to take you to places where he can use you to the utmost of His glory. So for today, you keep working on that crawling and soon we are going to have to figure out walking because there is coming a day when the Lord may have you walk onto an airplane to fly around the world to make His name famous or to walk into someone's bathroom to fix their plumbing and show them His love (if you do in fact become a plumber, I feel it is my duty to make sure you have good fitting pants and a belt...just say no to crack). 

- At 9 months you weighed 22lbs 9oz (89%) and were 29.5 inches tall (89%)

- You wear size 5 diapers, 12 & 18 month clothes, and size 3 shoes

- You continue to sleep well as long as your brother doesn't wake you up (12-13 hours at night and 2, 2 hour naps)

- You have 2 teeth

- You finally figured out table food and now eat just about anything we put in front of you. 

- You have learned to sip out of a sippy a little bit

- Growling is still your main means of communication but you do also say, "mama, dada, baba, and papapa"

I love you handsome boy. I will love you all the days of my life. You bring so much joy.

Love,

Mommy
