9 months with both boys, has felt like a big milestone; as many months in...as out :) I have known you for 18 months now. WOW. From the moment you were conceived I knew you (well okay, at first I was sure you were a girl) but soon after we found out BOY, the image of you became so tangible and I felt very connected to you. You solidified my title of "Mom of Boys" and I was in love!
...and speaking of BOY, you are all that and more. Rough and tumble, lover of balls, dogs, wheels and dirt. You have an arm like a left fielder and can tackle like a linebacker (do line backers tackle??? I don't even know- this mom of boys has a lot to learn ;). You are certainly on the move and ready to take on the world. You're a crawling machine and pulling up and cruising all the furniture. You are getting the hang of your push walker and prefer our help to walk vs. crawl.
You are a Momma's boy! I can't be in the room and not have you in my arms. Deep down...I kind of love it, because I remember how fleeting this is. Soon you'll turn into a toddler and it will be all about Daddy and doing "dude stuff". Right now though, you prefer me and every few minutes after playing or exploring, you'll come find me for a little momma refuel :) My arms are tired but my heart is full.
and oh...that hair ;)
You are FINALLY eating food! You started in your new class at school and have decided that if your friends are going to eat, so will you. You are now having 3 meals a day and enjoying a mixture of purees and finger foods. You are slow to warm up to new tastes and texture and appear to be quite picky. Your favorites are cheerios, crackers, pasta, ham, hotdogs and applesauce. You'll eat pretty much whatever puree I give you.
You are still taking 5 bottles (6 oz each) every 3 hours. We are trying to move to 4 now that you're eating better during the day.
Schedule: Wake at 6:00, naps at 9:30 & 2:30, bedtime at 7:30.
Stats:
Weight= 23.5lbs
Height=29.5 inches
You got your eat tubes earlier in month and have had very little sickness since; just a few colds and pink eye. Thanking God daily for good health.
Happy 9 month my
little big man :)
xoxo
MOM
