Pasha at 9 months

Pasha is starting to pull up on things-here he is hanging out with dad in the front yard.
We also got a little tunnel for him to crawl through:



And of course, he hates the crib-he learned how to pull up to standing and we lowered it right after I took this photo! Now every night he hangs onto the rail and bounces up and down like a monkey.

Kamikaze Escapes!

Now that Pasha is on the move, Kamikaze has taken the high road to stay out of his grasp. Pasha just can't resist a twitching tail, and he loves the kitties SO MUCH that he just wants to squeeze them.

Exploring with Pasha

All those toys and Pasha has more fun with a half filled bottled of water rolling around the floor.....
Ah..the simple joys of a Snacktrap filled with Cheerios.
Bye bye Baby! Pasha really starts moving and heads straight for the door!
But alas, Mom has foreseen this and put up a gate! Pasha's escape attempt is foiled!
"Guess I'll just hang out and enjoy the view" he decides.

Run kitty run!

Pasha is moving around these days-slowly but surely.....twitching cat tails are no longer safe.
Apparently neither is catfood.
Kamikaze thinks she if safe on her little perch, but Pasha quickly scoots over and grabs her ears to prove her wrong.

You'll notice, the other cat, Rumby isn't in any of the pictures-he learned quickly to just stay outside when Pasha is up and about.

9 months

Things have been busy this last month. Pasha has four teeth now! Thank goodness for the coffeetable or the top two incisors might never have cut through:
He spends time kickin' back in the stroller while dad mows the lawn and enjoys the warm weather:
He has started to crawl a little bit, which means he can get into all kinds of trouble exploring. Here he has found the chess board and decided that it does NOT belong on the shelf anymore. Or maybe he is ready to play chess already..he is half russian after all.
And here he has decided the laundry basket is more fun when it is upside down:
