Weight: 20 lbs, 7 oz. Say what??!!!! That put him in the 50th percentile!! Who is this kid??
Height: 26 inches. 50th percentile also.
Clothing size: 9 months.
Diaper size: Cloth, but size 3 or 4.
Feeding: He gets about 26 oz of formula/ day in 4 bottles, plus a lot of solid foods... I stopped pureeing his food at 8 months, so this month has been full of smashed fruits, veggies, cheese, bread, chicken, really almost anything now. He is not a fan of Cheerio's and is a completely lazy eater--he wants me to feed him everything and does not like to chew. Ha. And he tried wheat and had no reaction!!!! So he may be diagnosed with Celiac's disease later on, but for now we're good to go! I was pleasantly shocked.
Sleeping: Bedtime is around 8pm now, and he naps 2 times a day (3 hours ish total).
Milestones: He said "Dada" for the first time!!!! Of course he's just putting those sounds together for the first time, but Andrew was holding him, so we'll count it! So, so cute. First crush (our neighbor Charlotte). Still rocking and scooting backwards, but no crawling. First tantrums. :( Is this normal??!! Still in separation anxiety. :(
 |
| Totally enthralled by Charlotte. Oblivious to the toys; captivated by her grin. :) |
 |
| Still rocking away, scooting backwards, and getting stuck under the crib. :) |
Likes: Being outside!!! All.the.time.
Dislikes: Being held by anyone other than Mommy or Daddy. :(
Adventures: Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-Fil-A. Neighborhood cookout. Watching Daddy do lots of house/ backyard projects. And getting kicked out of the house a couple times thanks to DIY projects gone wrong... Ha. Good thing we have AMAZING neighbors and friends!!! Lots of trips to the library for the summer reading program. First time on a boat! Swinging in the backyard on his very own swingset!
 |
| None of the workers noticed he was dressed as a horse... for Cow Appreciation Day. :/ |
 |
| Wasn't so thrilled with his first trip to Chick-Fil-A... maybe because Daddy ate his free kids' meal??!! |
 |
| Building with Daddy at the IMA. |
 |
| Not a fan of the hard hat. |
 |
| Neighborhood cookout- BYOBaby!! |
 |
| Happy in the Ergo. Little rebel stayed up past his bedtime. |
 |
| Loves watching the fish in the library's aquarium. |
 |
| Bahahahaha I think this pic is hilarious!!! G actually loved the boat despite what this pic portrays. |
 |
| Success! Daddy built Grahammers a swingset! |
 |
| He might kind of love it... a LOT. |
What we couldn't live with out: Still THE ERGO. Seriously. And lately his jumper-exersaucer (not even sure what these are called). And, especially this month, awesome neighbors and friends!!!
My favorite part of parenting this age: Loving this age. So.much.personality!!
The hardest part of parenting this age: Not being able to let anyone else hold him. :(
