Happy Nine Months Baby G!
It is amazing that we are NOW at nine months and you spent nine months in my belly and now you have been with us for nine AWESOME months!
Your monthly pictures were tough to do this month. Sitting in your chair was tough as you kept trying to climb out of it and you were moving every where I put you.
This past week you had your 9 Month Well Visit
and you
weigh: 17 pounds 7.5 ounces
height: 26.75"
head circumference: 45 cm
What have you been up to this month:
~ You can now hold your own bottle
~ You are climbing onto everything
~ You can pull up on your toys and stand up for a little while before you tumble to your bottom
~ You crawl backyards and move in circles to get around
~ You can get up on all fours and rock back and forth it is too cute
~ You LOVE to eat, your favorite foods are VEGGIES. You are so cute when you eat after each bit you say "UMM" for Yummy.
~ We have just started introducing you to puffs and the yogurt melts and you are not a fan. In fact you put them in your mouth and then you spit them out.
~ Dr. S told us that we can start introducing you to table food. We will give this a try over the next month and see what happens.
~ You love playing with your toys and it is so cute watching you grab your shape blocks and clap two of them together. You love your VTech Learning Walker and Leap Frog Table. You prefer playing on the ground with your toys than jumping in your jumperoo.
~ You are SO Happy after taking a nap or when you first get up in the morning. It is so cute seeing your BIG smile.
~ You have become our little Gerber Baby. I think I get told at least twice a day when we are out that you should be a Gerber Baby.
~ Everyone LOVES your eyes and both daddy and I think you have your Auntie Mae's eyes.
~ You love your socks, the moment I put them on you they are off and in your mouth.
~ You say Dada all the time! Everyone is Dada!
~ You still have two teeth
~ You have had four ear infections in the past two mouths
~ You still do not sleep through the night, but you did sleep through the night on Friday night and it was AMAZING for mommy to get a full night of sleep. You get up at least one time during the night.
~ You have figured out to roll over onto your belly when you are in your crib, but you think it is funny and will not go back to sleep unless you are on your back. Now if you can figure out how to roll back over and go back to sleep.
~ You roll over to your belly in your crib and you will climb to the edge of your crib and look over it is too cute and you get SO EXCITED!
{as you can see he is not happy and about done taking pictures}
~ Besides baby food you are still drinking breastmilk during the daytime and if you get up during the night you have formula.
~ Besides playing in the snow this past month we have also taken you to the park to play on the swings and the slide and you loved it. Mommy is so excited for Spring and Summer we are going to have so much fun outside.
~ With the warmer weather we have had the past several days mommy has taken you for walks and you love looking around and seeing all the kids in the neighborhood.
~ You love playing with the car keys and mommy's water bottle. I try to hide them from you, but you always seem to find them and get so excited when you see them.
~ You are wearing size 6-12 month clothes
~ You wear size 3 diapers
~ You are in size 6-9 month PJ's
~ You love bath time with daddy and get so upset when we take you out. You are playing with your toys and splashing more during bath time.
~ You love your paci and I fear the day we have to take it away. But it really is nice that you can self soothe yourself in the car or during nap/bedtime.
~ Happy Nine Month Birthday Grayson I look forward to seeing all the new things you will do this month. Thank you for your love and all your smiles each and every day!
