9 Months Old!

We have your 9 month appointment next week but in the meantime....
  • Quickly moving into 18 months clothes - we're pretty much there.
  • Still Size 4 diapers, 4 shoes (although NONE of them fit your chunky feet). I have learned about extra wide baby shoes - so we are hitting' up the store next week for those!
  • We are moving to Stage 3 foods (chunky) this week. You have started cherries and blueberries. So far, you like everything and haven't refused anything! Let's keep that up. :)
  • You clap your hands when we sing Patty Cake every time - SO precious that you are putting those 2 things together (video below!)
  • You now take your pacifier out of your mouth when you see food coming. You didn't used to get that one had to happen before the other so it's neat to see you develop that way
  • Object permanence - ick! I was LOVING that we could take something away from you, hide it, etc. and you would just move on to the next thing. Slowly, that's not working anymore. You cry when a door is shut in front of you, Mimi or Pop leaves the house or the remote is taken from your hands. I have not looked forward to this stage and I know it will only intensify!
  • Waking up at least once EVERY night. Oh, except for the 1 day a week when it's your Daddy's turn to get up with you. Then, you sleep like a baby. ;)
  • I've talked about the cruising recently - you continue to get better/more stable and you are getting really fast at crawling! I have to run ahead of you to close doors or pick up something!
  • You walk behind "walking toys" with minimal help. Scary! But you get the biggest look of pride on your face!!
We are SO in love with you and your ever-developing personality. Here are some recent pictures followed by your patty cake video - love! :)

Your St. Patrick's Day outfit!
Handsome in pink!
Poor baby when you were sick 2 weeks ago -
you NEVER look like this so it must have been bad :(
