My sweet little booger is NINE months old!!!
Can you believe it?!?
Me either!! :)
My precious, babbling, bundle of joy, what are you up to these days???
-You're a B-U-S-Y boy! Crawling around and pulling up on things nonstop. You're so happy and cheerful!
-You're still addicted to your mommy, ha! :) The pediatrician said today that separation anxiety typically peaks around this age...I actually think you've already peaked and may actually be getting better with it (knock on wood)! I'm fine with it though. Sometimes you just want your momma and that's normal and okay. :) You've started really thinking your Daddy is funny, too! Just the other day he said, "I think he's starting to like me!!" Now of course we both know you love him to pieces, but you're really starting to pay him more attention and show more of a reaction when he comes and goes. And let's face it, Daddy really judges how much you "like" him by how much and often he can make you laugh...and you're doing A LOT of that lately.
-Speaking of laughing, you are giggling soooo much at me during the day...and I LOVE it! You used to just laugh when you were tickled, but now you laugh at things I say, funny things I do, and at sister Harley! She absolutely cracks you up. You're favorite thing to do is when we hold you over her back and pretend to give you a "Harley horsey ride." You laugh nonstop! :)
-You're eating all kinds of fruits and veggies, and have had some chicken, too. I'm to get some red meat in that little diet of yours sometime soon (pediatrician said it's great for iron and zinc). You're a GOOD eater!
-Still nursing or having a bottle five times a day, and eating three meals. You're still a fabulous sleeper - 12-13 hours a night with two naps per day. You even slept well in a pack and play over the weekend - AND it was your first time in a hotel room!
-You took your first plane ride over the weekend, too - to Washington D.C. You behaved wonderfully and we were soooo thankful!
-You love bath time - as a matter of fact, you crawl to the bathtub multiple times a day and try to crawl in!
-You really enjoy playing with a wide variety of your toys (and a few things that aren't toys...spatula, rubbermaid container, etc). You've started picking one toy at a time and carrying it around with you all day! At night you sleep with your sleep sheep, giraffe, lion, blankie, and puppy dog (which you LOVE).
(these pics were from last night, before bed)
And today, we went to the official nine month check-up!
waiting room fun
gotta love the self-timer! :)
You weighed in at 19 lbs, 4oz (29th percentile), measured 27.25 inches long (18th percentile) and your head circumference was 28 inches (63rd percentile - big brains). :) It really is amazing to me that your little chunk monk self is only in the 29th percentile in weight, ha!
Oh, and this was my first month staying home with you - man oh man do I love it!! Talk about the most fun and rewarding job I've ever had!
Little man...just LOOK how you've GROWN!!!
(be sure to click on this one so you can see it bigger!)
Millsy, you are the light of our lives and we love you sooooo much!
He's too precious!! He does have quite a few rolls to be in the 29th percentile, but who are we to question a healthy boy? :) So glad he did well on the flight!!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet! I can look at these pictures above and tell you EXACTLY when he had his growth spurts! Almost every 3 months to a T! He looks the same size now as he did during his 3 month picture! ha ha! What a chunky monkey in that picture! He's so precious!
ReplyDeleteGammy thinks you are so precious and can't wait to see you this weekend!
