For This Child I Prayed: 9 Months Old!

Wow pretty much sums up this month! So many new things have happened with you and decided to just grow up in a couple of weeks. You went from not crawling one day to literally crawling everywhere the next. You are pulling up on everything and even stand by yourself at times. You are moving side to side and place to place (chair to chair). It has been amazing to watch you achieve this milestone. You are also babbling up a storm and mama (speech therapist) loves it! You are making many consonant vowel combos and some vowel consonant combos. Daddy is extremely happy that you have incorporated "dada" into you vocabulary. You love to do patty cake and you wave bye-bye. My favorite thing that you do this month is take your "pointy" finger and touch everything with it. It is pretty cute. You are wearing mostly 12 month clothes with a few 18 month outfits.You have started to eat 4 oz of yogurt in the morning, still oatmeal/fruit combo for lunch, and 4 oz of veggie or veggie/meat combo at night. You love puffs, cheerios, and the cheese puffs. I have been trying to incorporate some different textures in with your baby food but you have a really sensitive gag reflex and you like to stick with what you know. We will keep trying though. You love cold water with a straw sippy cup during the day. You have also started taking longer naps during the day. Usually around 10:00 and 3:30.
You now have 6 TEETH and I think I see another one on top and a back molar trying to come in. Poor thing..your teeth always come in 2 at a time. I'm not sure if that is just normal but I don't like to see you in pain. With all of your toys, your favorite things to play with are a spoon from the kitchen and a lotion bottle that I have had to clean out. You also love going outside, taking baths in your pool, and going for walks. We are so excited that Uncle Colby and Aunt Ashley are getting married this month. You are a ring bearer and I cannot wait for you to wear your suit. It has been fun just putting you in your stroller and walking up two houses to their house. We are so excited to have them so close!
You went to the doctor this month. Your nine month stats were:

Weight: 18.97 lbs (35.92 percentile)

Height: 29 in (74.03 percentile)

Head Circumference: 17.52 in (32.96 percentile)

Mama and Daddy were excited that you did not have to get shots this month. We are thankful that you had a great doctors visit this month. I am in denial a little that the next visit you will be 1!

Just crawling around a little...
