Ouch
Baby bonked his head last night on the table behind the couch. I was attempting to feed him before bed, trying to adjust how we were sitting, and he writhed around, slipped my grasp and fell and hit the edge of the table. He cried and cried! We examined him, and for a few minutes couldn't see any evidence of the hit, but then a spot pinked up along the upper eye socket. I don't know if it will bruise or not, might give him his First Baby Shiner. I guess we'll find out soon!

Da
This morning, baby was eating, popped off, turned to look at dad and said "Da Da." And then some more babble. This is like when he was first born - is it a smile, or is it gas? Is this calling Dad Dada, or is it babybabble? I choose the former...
Baby has 9-month appointment at the doctor's office today. Perhaps Dad will update afterwards.
Edited to add - the very next day the baby sat up this morning and said "Hi Dada." Still we are skeptical, but it really did sound like that!

Good morning, 9-month old boy
We love the baby. He is a nice boy. He giggles in the morning and tries to eat my telephone. He kicks his legs and thrashes his arms and says "ney ney ney" with his little baby voice. It is so sweet.
He eats lots of things now: pears, applesauce, yogurt, cottage cheese (sometimes yes, sometimes no), cream cheese (does not like it), watermelon, canteloupe, strawberries, grapes (not sure about these yet), cereal (rice, oatmeal), cheerios (loves to pick them up with tiny fingers), black beans, white beans, sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, carrots (not a favorite), rice, banana (eats half at a time, very efficient and funny). Possibly one or two more things I'm forgetting now. Plan to add peaches, and broccoli this week.
Rolling over, climbing off the couch onto cushions, downward-facing dog, crawling with legs down, i.e. more creeping or "commando crawling" than proper crawling, but he's working on it. When he wakes up he scoots himself into a corner, and hasn't yet realized the potential to climb the walls of the crib. I go to pick him up out of bed, and he pulls himself up with my help, half-stands, half-teeters, then clings like a baby monkey as we walk to the bedroom for breakfast milk.
We shower together, though he's getting a little too strong for that, trying to escape. He enjoys baths, though spends 90% of the time grasping frantically for his tiny bath turtle so he can jam it in his mouth and chew. Splashing also is a favorite. I waited and waited for splashing, when we used to bathe him in the tub, and thought "someday he will splash and it will be cute and darling" and it IS, but it is also very wet.
