Malachi,

 

This month you had your first AIRPLANE RIDE! We flew to Orlando and you got some good quality one on one time with Papa and Gigi! You also got to meet Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy and Goofy at Chef Mickey’s and you were so intrigued. You were very interested in Goofy and he gave you a lot of attention as well. You did pretty well on the flight and stayed awake for basically the whole thing. Before take off you SCREAMED, but soon calmed down. Unfortunately, Hurricane Irma was making her way to FL and we left early. We took a 2 day road trip back to OH and you did really well. I think it helped having the world’s best Gigi sitting next to you.

 

You’re still eating solids like a champ and you love food! Your favorite foods right now are meats, pasta and vegetables. If you see us eating or food you want it too and you are quite vocal about it. You are not patient when it comes to meal time. When you’re hungry, you’re hungry!

 

You also started standing up to things assisted. Whenever I go and get you from your crib you’ll be standing there screaming because you’re afraid to fall back down. You have no trouble getting around anymore, but you don’t like having to crawl long distances. So often you’ll sit up and just cry. You have also started giving high 5’s (more like place your hand on ours)! Dominick thinks that’s pretty awesome and he asks for them often.

 

We call you Malachi monster and will rawr which you think is so silly. You will also make hoo hoo noise when you get really excited (you sound like an owl).

 

You still are such a hard baby to get to laugh and giggle, but you smile constantly. You are very serious and just don’t think things are very funny. Your happiest time is in the mornings, but you’re a pretty content baby. You’re just a really, really good baby!

 

Buddy, we love you SO incredibly much. I can’t believe we’re on the downhill slope to ONE! I cherish these baby stages with you and hope you slow down. You’re just the sweetest little guy and I’ll never take for  granted being your (and Dominick’s) Momma! This month was such a fun one getting to explore and travel with you. We’re really looking forward to what’s in store for your first FALL and HALLOWEEN! I love you so much, Sugar Bear!

 

Love you to infinity and beyond,

Momma
