i am starting to feel like my baby isn't a baby anymore..
he is a little boy, learning and growing everyday.
9 months / 8 months
at his 9 month appointment:
weight 18 lbs 9 oz = 45%
height 26.75 inches = 10%
head circumference of 44.5 cm = 45%
still has a murmur
i was really nervous after they weighed him because he hadn't gained very much since his 6 month apt, but i guess that's pretty normal at this age, especially for how active he is.
after talking it over with the doctor, we decided to postpone his cardiology follow up.
we are going to keep watching/waiting and reevaluate at his next well child visit.
this past month can be summed up in two words.
# 1. teething
after many sleepless nights, irritable days, lots of biting, drooling, and chewing,
he gotten his top 4 teeth.
#2 moving
he is now mobile with the cutest army crawl you will ever see.
he uses his left leg only to kick off, while his arms grab and pull.
he has finally gotten the rolling thing down.
his favorite things to go after are dresser drawers and electric cords.
he also really likes strings and shoelaces.
life has definitely changed around here with a mobile baby.
i quickly learned that if things are quiet, than c is up to no good.
i have found little tricks to keep him out of trouble,
like putting him in my tub while a do my hair:
like putting him in my tub while a do my hair:
if we help him stand up, cal likes to stand at his toy chest and grab at his toys.
we love it when he gets on his tippy toes and reaches for something until his toes come off the ground.
a few other random things about my little man:
- he is a screamer! (as shown by the video above) he will scream until everyone looks at him, than he laughs and laughs.
- he has started throwing little fits when we take things away from him, but is easily distracted to something new.
- spent a few nights in bed with us because of teething.
- he loves finger foods and has added string cheese and pastina to his diet.
- he loves to share his binkey or anything he is eating by shoving it into your mouth.
- has not picked up on any of the signs we have been trying to teach.
- his favorite toys right now are his stacking cups, stacking rings, and any interactive books.

He's such a big boy! :) but don't worry, he will always be your baby. I still call sawyer "baby." Also, be grateful that all if his teeth are coming in at once. Sawyer got his molers when he was one. Teething went by so fast. :) I love him sitting in his bumble! So cute!
I love your posts! They always make me smile and laugh. Such a cute baby!!
Such a cute little guy! We have that same high chair- it's the best. Clara got those top 4 teeth this past month too, what a bother! Fun to read what he's up to since they're so close in age.
