Nine months old!



Ian had his nine month check up today.  Here are his stats:

Weight:  19 lbs, 7 oz.
Height: 28 inches
Head Circumference:  18 inches

He's getting so big!  He is finally crawling around on his hands and knees instead of just army crawling around.  He's pulling up on everything, but not cruising yet.  He loves to play with Lucy, and he's been saying "Mama" and "Baba" a lot lately.  He has two more teeth coming in up top.  I mean, they are literally about to pop through.  He eats three baby food "meals" a day and still nurses every few hours (although that is mostly due to me, not to him crying for it...).

He's been waking up every night around 10:30pm and then again at like 6am.  I think it going to be time soon to try to help him sleep through the night... not sure how we'll do that but I think we will have to try soon.  I'm so tired!

I had to fill out a little questionnaire today at the doctor's office, and it was designed for a 10-month-old, and he basically has all the skills of a 10-month-old, except for his fine motor skills.  She said just to take out the questionnaire again at 10 months to see if he has those skills yet.  I know a lot of that comes from picking up small bites of food between their thumb and finger, and he's not yet eating bits of food.  He's still a puree man. :)

We love our boy!
