It is hard to believe that Austin is already 9 months old. Where has all the time gone? He is getting bigger and into more and more every day. At his 9 month check up, he weighed 24 pounds 3 ounces and was 30 inches long. He is still in the 90th percentile in both height and weight. Austin is able to furniture walk extremely well. It will not be too much longer and he will be walking alone. He loves to climb stairs and he is an expert now. He is able to come down too. He just learned how to turn around to come down the steps. Previously he would go head first down the 1 step between our living room and dining room. We had a blanket there for him to land on. That doesn't work so well for a flight of stairs, so we taught him to turn around.
Austin is mommy's little helper. Anything I do Austin helps me. He loves to empty the dishwasher with me. He takes the silverware and throws it on the floor. When I am putting clothes away, he loves to take the clothes out of drawers and throw them on the floor. He has discovered the toilet paper roll and knows how to unroll the toilet paper. 
When I make dinner, he is in the kitchen going though the cupboards finding something to play with. He loves our thermos from when we packed our dinners for Cavs games. He rolls them on the floor and plays. Austin is so much fun right now!
For Halloween, Austin was a monkey. Brian got his costume the day after Halloween last year. It was a great costume for him. It was nice because it kept him warm. Plus he looked so cute! We went trick or treating in Grandma and Grandpa D's neighborhood. We went around the block and were only out and about for about a half an hour. Then we went to visit Great Grandma. We knocked on her door with Austin to surprise her. Trick or Treat! Then on Halloween we went around our block with our neighbors. We probably walked around for 45 minutes to a few houses. It was a lot of fun. As usual, Austin likes being out and seeing people and things. He seemed to really enjoy it.
