Lincoln- 9 Months

9 Months

Weight: 27 lbs 2oz

Length: 29 3/4

Diapers: I just moved you up to size 5.  The size would still work but they were getting a little tight and size 5 seems to be a better fit.

Food: You eat a bottle when you first wake up. Then about 2 hours later you take a nap. When you wake up you take cereal or baby food then a bottle. We give you a 6oz bottle but you usually only eat about 4oz. At lunch you eat a fruit and take another bottle then you usually take about a 3 hour nap. You usually eat dinner around 5 or 5:30pm. You eat a veggie and take another bottle. At night we have been giving you 8oz before bed. You still love fruit.  You do pretty good drinking out of a sippy cup most of the time.  You still eat stage 2 baby food.  Your favorites are, of course, the desserts.  You will still eat the veggies and fruit too.  We try not to give you desserts very often.

Clothes: You are wearing mostly 24 mo.  Most of your shorts and tshirts are 2t or 24 mo.  You have a few things that are 18 mo that fit fine.  The 18 mo. short seem to be a little too tight though.  You are wearing size 4 shoes.  Your shoes are hard to find because your foot is very thick and wide.

 

You had your second ear infection this month.  The doctor said it was just starting and we caught it pretty fast.

You are so happy!  You can now say "Da Da" and "bye bye".  You said "Ma Ma" a couple of times but only once where Mommy could hear it.  You love to talk and scream!

You started crawling this month and are getting faster and faster every day.  Pretty soon we are not going to be able to keep up with you :)  You also love to pull up on any and every thing you can get your hands on.

You cut 6 teeth this month all in about a week and a half.  The first two were your two front teeth, then your two bottom teeth.  The last two were the ones beside you two front teeth.

You LOVE to patty cake!!  You can also wave bye bye.

I can't believe you are only 3 months away from being a year old!  I am excited and sad all at the same time.  We couldn't ask for a better baby.  Even through the teething process you have been great and hardley ever irritable.  Changing your diaper has become a little challenge.  You are squirming and trying to roll over the whole time.  We have learned that you loved to hear your name being spelled out.  We usually do this while changing your diaper and it seems to help.  We love you more than you will ever know.
