9 Months


Stephen is 9 months old!  I really can't believe how big he is getting!  This month has been so much fun!  He learned how to pull up and started really crawling and he started waving.  He is getting so big and we are enjoying every day with him!   I used to think I would miss the newborn "baby" stage, but I have to say this stage is so much fun!  He is just such a happy baby and brings so much joy to us!  

I am still working on his 9 month pictures.

* He looks like such a big boy, but he can actually still wear 6-9 month clothes.  The length is where they usually don't fit.  He typically wears 9-12 month clothes, although I have been buying 12-18 months in hopes they will last us through the summer, we'll see!

* He drinks 6 ounces of formula 4 times a day and eats 3 ounces of solids 3 times a day.  We cut out his 6pm bottle this month and increased his solids at dinner.  

*He is doing great with his sippy cup.  

* I make all of his baby food. This month we added zucchini, broccoli, pears and oranges.  He loves them all!  Such a good eater!

*We are still using cloth diapers and loving it!

*He is still sleeping great, 8pm to 7 am.

* He takes 2 naps for about an hour and a half to 2 hours each day plus a little catnap in the evening.

*He just started waving!  When we went to his baptism he looked at all of our family sitting there and waved like he was saying hi.  It was so cute!  Since then every time he waves we started saying "hi" or "bye" so now when we say "hi" or "bye" he will wave.  It's really cute!   

* He is always on the move and pulling up on stuff.  He loves to just move from on thing to another pulling up on them as he goes. 

* He loves bath time!

* A week before we turned 9 months old, he started really crawling instead of army crawling and now he rarely ever army crawls.  

* He hates his diaper being changed or changing his clothes.  He doesn't want to stop playing!  

*He is such a happy, fun baby!

Happy 9 month birthday Stephen! We love you so much!
