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!

To catch you up!

Wyatt at just over 8 months showing off his teeth!



So I have been meaning to do one of these for so long so I am WAY behind on putting up Wyatt's milestones! He is growing so quickly. I suppose I will just start a monthly rundown.

As of right now Wyatt still only has two teeth, the same two he has had since mid-September, the two on the bottom in the middle. He is around 25 pounds and over 30" tall but I am not sure exactly how much because his next appointment isn't until December 16th. He is in some 12 months clothing and some 18 months and in size 4 diapers.


I will do this as if I actually posted on the 12th but the milestones he hit during his 7th month were:
His pincher grasp developed and he loves feeding himself!

He is still cruising around furniture, as he has been since 6 months

At the end of month seven he began to take a few steps at a time on his own

Began attempting to stand alone, though it doesn't last long.

He says Mom, Da, Hi, and Bye

He loves drinking from his sippy cup on his own and has begun to transition from the bottle to the cup

He is eating food from our plates and no longer wants to eat baby food (He spits it back at us!)

He cries when mommy or daddy leave his sight, if we take something away from him, and if he can't reach something that he wants

Object permanence is in full swing and he loves to throw things off his high chair or out of the living room just to see where it went


Some of my favorite things that he does are:
sitting by himself with a toy that plays music and sings along
jumps up and down in his crib with a huge smile when I go into his room to get him from bed
When he waves at me and says "Ha" (this began in month 8)
When he comes as fast as he can because he sees me with something to eat (My little piggy!)
When he uses me as an off road course for crawling over when I am on the floor playing with him
When he splashes in the tub and gets so excited about his rubber duckies!

He loves:
being outside
looking out the living room window to see outside
tugging on Jace and Max
watching Jace and Max play
crawling through his blow up ball pit
and he loves to turn his hand around while he is waving "hi" or "bye" to see what it is doing
