Nine Months

9 Months

  • This has been such a fun month. Quite stats on your nine month appointment: weight 20lbs (71%) and length 28 inches (70%) so you dropped a bit on the charts but you probably will just hit a growth spurt again here soon. 
  • Eating: you love everything! I don't think I have given you anything that you haven't liked. You will eat tomatoes for dinner and spicy curry. Your finger coordination is coming along so now you can feed yourself pretty well. Whatever doesn't end up in your mouth, Mowgli just cleans up after you. 
  • Moving: we have been working on crawling with you. You are at the pre-crawling stage. You can get into crawling position and then rock back and forth. Since the wood floor with easier to slide around on, you slide yourself over to the movies and will pull them out everywhere. I actually like the mischief you are getting into (for now at least).
  • Social-you are getting even more sillier. You love playing peek-a-boo, where you hold the blanket up to your face and pull it up and down while we say boo. When I sing Five Little Monkeys, you will shake your head back and forth while I sing. 
  • This month we celebrated Thanksgiving at Auntie Catherine's house. You loved all the food. We went to Arches and Goblin Valley. You were a good sport for being in the carrier the whole time. We stayed at a hotel and the pool was fun. The water in the pool was too cold and the hot tub was too hot, so we had to had to just put our legs in the water but you still had funny splashing around. 
  • Christmas is around the corner. While we were setting up the tree, you managed to roll under the tree and started pulling down the branches. Well, you have gotten into the presents several times since, but the tree hasn't fallen down yet so I call that I win.
