Little man, you are 9 months old!!
20 pounds 8 ounces (67%)
28 inches (34%)
Head circumference: 19 inches (97%)
Clothes: 9 month (jammies 12 month)
diaper size: 3
tooth count: ZERO! Thats right, the top tooth I SAW and FELT has since retracted. Our boy is all gums.
These monthly photo shoots are getting more difficult...
You are turning a corner...
...and you're done.
Your giggles are the best.
This month you just TOOK OFF. You army crawl less and crawl more. I have to keep my eye on you at all times, since you have decided to pull yourself up on everything in sight- including the stairs. You will stand up while holding on to something for extended amounts of time. You will "furniture walk" on your own, but someone has to be in near because you are pretty wobbly. You will walk while I hold your hands or keep your walking toy steady. I have found your smiling face looking at me above your crib rails in the morning. You are SO proud of yourself standing up in there like a big boy! I am proud of you too, buddy.
You LOVE books. Well, I should say, you enjoy certain books. Kicking, flailing, crying, or simply throwing an unacceptable choice are just a few ways you let me know which books your like.
You turn the pages.
You continue to enjoy swimming lessons. I took pictures and video of life jacket day. You definitely prefer being in the water without a life jacket.
The following video has a few things that should be noted:
1) The ANNOYING ladies in the background taught me my first lesson in watching my child participate in an activity with other children. These ladies commented the ENTIRE time about how much better their granddaughter is than everyone else. You can even hear them say something about how Cooper is not going to like this slide (ignore the fact that they are right), but don't worry their granddaughter did the BEST out of everyone. Ugh, and this is just the beginning.
2) Cooper does not love this experience, but it was worth a shot!
3) Chris swoops Cooper up so fast the life jacket doesn't have enough time to work. :) In Chris's defense, it is tough to watch your baby go underwater. Instincts kick in and you just snatch them up.
I adore these chubby little paws
Your eyes are so expressive. People always comment on your eyes.
You love pulling yourself up on EVERYTHING.
Eating has become more exciting these days. You eat all kinds of things now! In reference to what you eat, you are not a picky eater, but how you eat is another story. This month you decided that you needed to feed yourself. I read that this is typical for babies your age, and that I should let you experiment with feeding yourself. See picture below.
So you are feeding yourself store bought food. We are both happier.
This stage has been so much fun! You are so curious and happy. You are turning into a little boy before our eyes.
I love the picture with the 9 month sticker on his buns!! And, his eyes really are AMAZING!!!
