9 Months on 9/9/09

Today is Rolland's 9 Month Birthday!!! It also happens to be 9/9/09. Coincidence? We think not. To commemorate the event, Rolland decided to do things in 9s today. Here's what he came up with...

First, he had 9 teething biscuits for breakfast. (Dave thinks he has a top tooth coming in; Erika isn't so sure.)


Second, he read 9 silly books. (Is Your Mama a Llama has a bat named Dave who lives in a cave.)


Third, he played with 9 colorful balls. (When heavily assisted, he can "put the green ball in the basket." Clearly, he's a genius.)


Forth, he got dressed in 9 shirts (and no pants).



Fifth, he set up playdates with 9 friends. (Apparently he's more popular than we are.)



Sixth, he ran 9 errands with Mama. (Eyes on the road, buddy.)



Seventh, he ran 9 miles with Daddy. (He probably kept his toes curled the whole way.)



Eighth, he helped set out 9 diapers for tomorrow. (He probably used that many today... seriously.)


Ninth, he went to bed at 9:00. (That's not true. He's actually in the middle of melting down in this picture, and it's 7:45.)


Overall, it was a successful day of celebrating 9s. Certainly better than chopping off one of his fingers.
