New Swing!

Benjamin got a new swing and he loves it! I think he is just somewhat mystified at the wind blowing through his hair and mommy's face getting closer and farther so fast.

Before I forget-- here's things that Benjamin does at 9 months:
- takes one, maybe two steps towards me without holding onto anything
- can get a spoon with food in his own mouth
- points remote and tv, presses buttons, changes channel and smiles
- pushes high chair around kitchen while walking
- smiles at every child he comes across
- reaches out to hug and be held
- says ma ma and da da and other blabber, but not really for any real reason
- crawls like a maniac
- climbs stairs
- opens cabinets, pulls off felt bumpers and tries to eat them
