Canon update...almost 9 months

Canon Burk is almost 9 months old...whoa! I know it sounds like a broken record, because I say it everytime I do a post updating one of them, but I just can't believe how quickly they are growing.  Especially this time of year, with all the kids graduating from high school I am reminded that in no time at all, it will be one of my boys graduating.  I am trying to enjoy this days as best I can amongst all the crazy/hectic-ness that is a day in the life of the Atchley's :)  Okay back to Canon...He is soooo much different than his big brother that it has been almost like being a first time mom again!  Everything that I had learned with Keller and all the "experience" I had was basically useless in the first few months of his life.  He is a much more serious baby and is also physically much bigger than Keller was at this age so he is his very own person in every way.  Here is an update on what he's up to at (almost) 9 months:

• on a 4 hour eating schedule 7:15, 11:00, 3:15, 6:30
• sleeps 6:30p-7:15a
• not yet crawling, but rolls everywhere!
• 2 teeth, bottom front teeth...but working on more
• LOTS of hair! already had 1 haircut, but already needs another
• saying "ma", "ba", "da", "ga" etc, but doesn't know who "mommy & daddy" are yet
• likes to jabber and will yell at us (or strangers in WalMart) if he wants your attention
• sitting up independently, very well
• starting to "wave"
• sometimes will "clap" and do "arms up"
• loves watching "your baby can read" video
• loves being sung to
• likes facing outward when being held...only snuggly when he isn't feeling well
• very strong!!
• eating solids 3 x's each day, breakfast, lunch and dinner.  he eats everything and hasn't turned anything down yet.  
• tried a few "table foods": waffles, bananas, peas, carrots, roll
• looooves cheerios
• really loves aunt mannie, she sings him "canon, canon who's my sweetest man-on" and "mr. canman, bring me a dream, doom, doom, doom, doom, make him the cutest, that i've ever seen"
• very happy and smiley when he is feeling well, but so heartbreakingly sad when he isn't feeling well :(

i honestly don't remember what our lives were like before our "little guy" came along.  he is a perfect complement to our family and i am bursting with love just looking at these pictures of him...love you so much sweet canon!

smiley little guy :)

where did those blue eyes come from??
