Nine Months Old






Davis is consistently sleeping 14 1/2 hours in a 24 hour period. He nurses and bottle feeds four times a day: first thing in the morning, after both naps, and before bed. He eats solids three times a day. He has started nursing well again (after I mentioned to the lactation consultant that I was so sad he was not interested anymore). His nap times are very consistent, usually by 0930 and 1330 he is down for a nap. He wakes up once in the late evening to have a quick bottle and is right back to sleep.

  • At his nine month appointment, weighs 16 pounds 15 ounces (5th percentile for kids his age), 28 inches long (35%) and head circumference is 18 (64%)
  • Eats everything that is offered to him: Introduced to broccoli, kale, turnips, watermelon and cantaloupe
  • Started saying N's (Nananana). The voice setting must have been on while I was carrying my phone and him. He was saying Nana so my phone tried calling my friend H
ännah.
  • Will not say Momma, when I say it to him he just grins and then says Dada or Nanana.
  • Does not like the vacuum or food processor. Will stick out his lower lip and just cry like the world is going to end
  • Didn't take him long to move on from crawling to pulling up on everything

    • Gives kisses albeit slobbery but oh so sweet! Although when Daddy asks for them, he throws his head back and laughs. 
    • Wants to be wherever Bella is

    • Will crawl all over the house (and so fast). Goes from the kitchen to the dining room to the living room to the hallway to his room in no time flat!
    • Thankfully when he gets tired he will finally stop exploring and tug on our pants to get picked up
    • I never get tired of hearing the nursery workers tell me how happy he is and how his smile lights up his face (warms my heart to know he is that sweet to others)
    • Does have occasional stranger anxiety. At Target the cashier was making a fuss over him and he just looked at me and burst out into huge crocodile tears. Once we walked away, he was fine.
    • Loves going places and takes in all his surroundings
