On Friday I took him for his 9 month well baby check and he's doing great! We always make guesses about his weight, Nana's was 20, mine was 21, and daddy guesses 22. He was 20.14 so I was closest! Mama always knows lol! He's 28.1" tall and dr says he looks great!
He's now officially crawling! He also army crawls sometimes too. He has one tooth that has broken through and is still coming up. Teething doesn't seem to bother him too much, he occasionally gets a little fussy. I want to get him an amber teething necklace. He's recently started to try to pull up on things and he loves standing up, although still needs a bit of support or he'll fall. He's a dare devil and loves going upside down, spinning in circles, swinging, etc. He's always on the move now and doesn't sit still. It's hard to nurse him because he gets so distracted and wants to look at and get into everything!
He's curious about everything and loves playing with his toys and reading books. He's mainly in size 12 month clothing now, although sometimes 9 months still fits. He's wearing size 3 diapers during the day (target or kroger brand) and size 4 pampers or Huggies overnight diapers.
He sleeps great. I'm still working on bedtime, trying to get him to go to sleep later and sleep in later. Seems like no matter what time he goes to bed he's awake by 7. I'm hoping if I stick with a later bedtime he'll start sleeping later. He usually takes a 1 1/2 morning nap around 9 and a 2 hour afternoon nap around 12:30 or 1. Since I started stroller strides his nap schedule is messed up on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays but we just kinda wing it and he does well. Sometimes he'll take a 20 minute nap in the car and be good to go for a few more hours. He pretty much goes with the flow and is an easy going baby.
He loves food! He's still eating purées but is also eating pretty much anything and everything. Purées are just so easy, especially to up into the re usable pouches and give him on the go. But he loves "real food". Right now he's really loving watermelon. He's also a huge fan of Mac and cheese and bread.
He's great with his hands. He moves things easily from one hand to the other and is good at picking things up with his fingers. He sees every speck on the floor and goes for it. I have to be really careful about keeping the floors clean!
