Nine months old

 

 Eats:

• No longer nurses (much to my dismay) and bottle feeds 4-5 times a day. 
• Loves solids and feeds himself
• New foods this month: watermelon, pineapple, cantaloupe, broccoli and Sonny's BBQ

Sleeps

• 13-15 hours in a 24 hour period
• Hasn't slept through the night for most of this month. Usually wakes up in the wee hours of the morning and will go right back to sleep after a bottle. 
• Takes a late morning nap and afternoon nap. Both naps last a little over 1.5 hours. 

Tidbits from this month:

• At his 9 month appointment, weighed 17 pounds 5 ounces (11% for kids his age), 30 inches long ( 95%), and head circumference is 17.5 inches.(31%).
• Moved to 9 month clothes and some 12 month clothes, size 3 diaper
• Top middle tooth is poking through (2 on top and 2 on bottom)
• Started saying Mama (mostly when crying). Other words are Dada and Baba. 

• Plays so hard in the nursery and they always comment how happy he is!
• Loved the pool when we went to Florida
