John turned 9 months yesterday.

I took John to the mall again to try and see if he would happily sit on Santa's lap. He still did not like Santa. I don't think I will try again until next year. When we were leaving Santa, I saw this painted scene and decided to sit John in front of it. I thought it was cute.

John has been enjoying feeding himself banana puffs.

It turns out John can fall asleep just about anywhere.....even his highchair. He doesn't want to sleep in his bed, but the bathtub or highchair will do just fine.
