It's kind of hard to believe my baby is already 9 months old! Were has the time gone... I have a feeling I'm going to be saying a lot for the rest of my life! Also, it seems like I can only getting around to doing an update every few months- so here is what's been going on in the last three months...
Clothes- I have all his 12 month clothes out but I he can still fit into most of his 9 month clothes, so he's been wearing a mix of both. The 12 month pants still seem a little long but it's the summer- so who needs pants! Also, I'm happy to report he's still in size 3 diapers- which he's been in since 4 month (so half of his life!). However, I bought a box of sizes 4 because I know he going to need them soon, and I really don't have plans to buy another box of 3's and then only use half of them. He'll live if his diapers are a bit big.
Movement & Talking- Tons of movement. He can fully crawl, he can pull him self up on anything or anyone, and he's trying to walk (but luckily we aren't there yet). He also does a lot of talking but no one can understand him, so no real words yet either. However, we were very excited when we taught him how to wave! He's good at it, but he's only do it when he wants to.
Sleeping- Was going well until this a few weeks ago. Again, I think we have a growth spurt on our hands so the last few weeks he's been getting up 2-3 times a night. However for a good month while he was 7-8 months- he was either sleeping through the night or just waking up once to eat.
Eating- He loves his food. He is now only wants to food himself, so he's getting a lot of finger foods and a lot less baby food- even though I just made a bunch the other night. What concerns us about the finger foods- he still has no teeth... ok his first has broken though on the top but I really don't think he can use it yet. When he eats the finger food- because he really can't chew it up- we find it later in his diaper so we are really wondering how much nutrition is he really getting from the food if its passing right though? Hence why I made more "baby" food so he can really get it into his system.
Other highlights from these past 2 month-
Sammy favorite food is watermelon! He has had some almost everyday this summer.
I joined a stroller workout group. This great because I get a really good hour workout in and I don't have to worry about a babysitter for Sammy. Plus he seems to enjoy the classes too because he loves just watching people.
Sammy has gotten a lot of pool time in this summer! He's got it made with both sets of grandparents having a pool to swim in.
Sam had his first Father's day! I know I did write a post about this, but this is my current favorite picture (it's the background to my phone) so I wanted to share it again!
Finally we took him to his 9 month check up and here are his status:
Weight: 21.5 pound (Percentile- 77%)
Height: 28 inches (Percentile- 36%)Head: 18 inches (Percentile- 71%)
