9 months

At 9 months

Weight: will update on tues
Height:
Eyes: blue
Hair: blondy brown. Starting to get some curls

Wearing mainly 9 month clothes but some 12 months. 12 month jammies.

Sleep: bedtime is usually btwn 7-8 nights have been pretty bad. He likes to wake up and stay awake for 2 hrs. So exhausting. Plus waking up 2-4 times before that. And 1 or 2 times after that!! He still has some nights where he is really gassy. We havent figured out what is causing it
Naps are improving. He has been going down very easily if I lay with him in our bed. He hugs his bear and curls up on his side. So cute! He now sleeps with his bear and a blanket. He will usually take 2 naps, ranging from 45-2+.

Food: 3 meals a day. Plus 4 bottles (about 7 oz each). Recently has been eating lamb barley soup, chicken soup, bread, cheese. Loves kiwi. Likes avocado and hummus. We are trying to encourage more solid foods instead of pureed. He loves cheerios. He still cant put food in his mouth but is getting good at using the pincer grip. He drinks water from a sippy cup. But again cant bring it to his mouth in his own.

He has 2 teeth on the bottom and the same little one poking out the top. He is really into biting me lately so not sure if something else is going on in there.

He said mum mum the other day. But think he meant to say "yum yum".

Loves:
Drinking water. He gets so excited when we run water or use the water from the fridge.
The toy dish set
His soosie - waving it around as opposed to sucking on it.
Balls.

Still not crawling. When he is sitting he reaches so far in front that pretty soon he will go right over. But he cries when you encourage him from his tummy. He has rolled over once from back to front. He just much prefers to be sitting so he can see everybody. :). His legs are gettig strong. When sitting on my legs he can rock himself up to almost stand. He loves standing and holding onto things. But he has no balance still.

He knows the fan, clock, dog, bottle, butterflies on the wall, light, gramma, grampa, soosie, hat, cow, horse Im know there are others but these are the most obvious.

Overall he is super happy! As long as you are playing with him or are near him then he is good as gold. Wont play by himself for long periods of time or in the early evening. Makes it tough to make dinner :). But nothing that dancing, singing or throwing in the air wont cure!
