Colton - 9 Months

 

Another month older, every month you get a little closer to being one (CRAZY).  You sure have grown this past month.  You are into EVERYTHING and moving around so well.  You are getting so big so fast!  I feel like things happened a little slower when big brother was your age, but you are watching him and it seems like you are growing up a lot faster.  Here are a few things I want to remember about you at 9 months old:

 

*  You have 2 teeth on the bottom, no new teeth have come in yet.

 

*  You started crawling.  You are still pretty slow but you can get where ever you need or want to go.  I often find you in Frankie's room by his books. 

 

*  You have started pulling up but not very often and it take you a long time to get up.  Once you are up you either fall down or cry because you don't know how to get down.

 

*  You are sleeping great at night.  You usually sleep from 7 pm to 5:30/6 am.  That is not to bad.  You do not like to snuggle though.  Once we feed you for bed you like us to lay you down almost immediately.  The same with naps, we just lay you down and leave the room.  You are sleeping with a burp cloth that we call your "baby".  You love all of your babies so much!  You are also still sleeping with a paci but you usually don't cry out for it if it's not in your month and you can fall asleep without it.

 

*  You gabber, grunt and growl a lot.  You still have only said da da. 

 

*  You are loving puffs.  We still break them in half for you because you seem to get choked on them sometimes.

 

*  You take 5- 6 to 7 oz bottles a day.  You also get 3 "meals" a day:

Breakfast- rice cereal

Lunch- fruit

Dinner- veggie with meat

 

*  You are still wearing a size 2 diaper (can't believe that).  You are in 9-12 month clothing but can still wear 6-9 month onesies.

 

*  You had your 9 month check up a little early (3/28/13).  You were 17 lbs 11 oz and 27 inches long.  I think in the 30 percentile for both.

 

(Pictures are becoming increasingly harder to get.....he is always on the move.  LOL)

This was the only picture I got of him sitting still and he's not even looking at me.

I have 10 of these :)

Thought the floor might work better (so at least he wouldn't fall out of the chair), but it just made him want to crawl.

Pulled up all by himself

Getting brave.

 

 

Well I hope I didn't forget anything about this sweet little month but since I am so late I only have 2 short weeks until your 10 month post. :)
