9 Months

August 18th 2011
Our little guy is 9 months new!
Whew! Time sure flies, huh?

He is doing wonderfully.
He's growing and laughing and giggling...
{and today I heard someone say that he looks like the Gerber baby}

Some stats:
Head Circumference: 17 and 3/4 inches
percentile: 25-50

Length: 26 1/2 inches
percentile: 5

Weight: 19 pounds and 15.2 ounces
percentile: 25-50

So... he's a short, chubby baby with an average sized head.
But he sure looks cute doing it!

I like this one, but you can't see his whole body.
(a)

Whole body shot, with the hands on the tummy 'belly laugh'.
(b)

{You guys tell me... a .... or .... b?}

-He's crawling all over the place!
{This means he is starting to follow us around when we put him down.}

-He's climbing everything he can grab.
{Chairs, TV, Mom, Dad, Bookshelves.}

-He is taking fewer naps now.
{I don't mind because he is a happy baby, though sometimes he won't lay down when I know he's tired...
so the fewer naps can be difficult.}

-Eating lots of different types of solid foods.
{Pretty much whatever we can mash up.}

-Is sleeping better through the night
{We still get up and put his pacifier in his mouth at least 2 times a night.}

-Sits in the shopping cart by himself
{I didn't like doing this earlier (germs), but he does just fine,
and he's starting to demand getting out of the car seat... so it's a little necessary.}

-Loves putting everything he can find in his mouth.
{No matter what it is.... mom and dad's dirty laundry... ugh.}

-Loves being held by anyone.
{He really isn't shy... he'll play with about anyone.}

-All around adorable little man in our lives.

  1. b. i like b. he has always been such a happy baby, huh? I can't believe how fast they grow. Well, sort of. Mine doesn't seem to be growing very fast. LOL. I'm hoping she reaches 18lbs by the time she's a year.

  2. Hey, you ought to get one of those pacifier clips to clip to his jammies at night. He'll catch on really fast that it's there and pop it back in on his own. Then you can SLEEP.
