Late again but 9 month post

Wyatt riding his toy (only backwards) just over 9 months

So, I am late again! I really need to make myself keep this updated! =) I have yet to add any pictures because we can't get anything but dial up at the house and it takes forever but I promise to add some pictures really soon!

I can't believe that my baby boy turned 9 months old on the 12th! It doesn't seem like he should be 9 months already! He is growing so quickly.

In the last couple of days Wyatt has been cutting 3 teeth on the top. He is absolutely miserable because it is hurting him so badly! Poor guy!

He had his 9 month check up and he weighed in at 27 pounds and 14 ounces (>97%) and 30 inches long (90-95%). This really surprised me because between his 6 month appointment on September 29 to an appointment for an ear infection on December 10 he had only gained one pound but between December 10 and the 18th he gained 2 pounds! He must have been feeling better. He had been sick for almost 3 weeks straight with bronchiolitis and a double ear infection.

He is mainly in 18 month clothing and still in the size 4 diapers. He is also in a size 5 shoe (and has been for around 2.5 months.

His milestones for 8 months:

He is still cruising around furniture

He loves walking behind his push toys, though he thinks he should run behind it rather than walk

He loves it when Daddy is home from work and lights up when he walks through the door

He doesn't want Mommy to leave his sight throughout the day and wants one of us to sit with him at bedtimes until he falls asleep

He will walk about 6-8 steps on his own before he realizes that he sees something that he wants

He stands without support for increasingly longer periods

He still loves to wave "hi" and "bye"

He Loves to:

Pull poor Max's hair (our miniature schnauzer). It is a good thing Max is a good sport

Look out the window and watch the wind blow the trees, or snow, which ever is happening that day

Take Mommy's food if she dare eat in front of him =)

Feed himself! He is sick of that baby puree!


We can't wait for him to get to open his gifts on Christmas! He loves to tear paper so I am sure that the wrapping paper will be much more exciting to him but it will be exciting nonetheless!

Tune in for more soon! I promise I won't slack this time!
