Nine Months Old

Bobby turned Nine months old on January 30, 2010.

Couldn't get him to sit still at all for this picture, and had to resort to the Bumbo seat. I promptly packed it up after our little photo session. As you can see, he was trying to flip out of it! Goodbye, Bumbo seat, goodbye!

Weight: 19.8 lbs. (5oth percentile)

Length: 29 inches (75th percentile)

Head circumference: 18.5 inches (90th percentile)

Sleeping Patterns: Bobby's sleep habits are pretty solid these days. He's in bed still around 7pm every night. He wakes up anytime between 6-7am... lately, it's been closer to 7am. He goes down for his first nap between 9-10am, and he goes down for nap #2 between 1-2pm. It really depends on what time he wakes up each morning. He is also now standing up in his crib! It's pretty hilarious!

Eating Habits: We've had a few changes since the 8th month post. He's still drinking 4 bottles of formula per day, with three meals of solids. We've tried some table food lately: bread, cheese, hamburger meat, green beans, yogurt, and Yogurt Melts. Our pediatrician says the next three months will be him most likely testing the waters with table food. I am trying to make a conscious effort of eating our meals the same time as Bobby. He had some of my PB&J sandwich today at lunch. :)

New discoveries & Accomplishments: Bobby is crawling everywhere! He is pulling up on everything too. He is so curious about everything! He says momma all the time! It is so sweet. He has also said dada (twice), hi, and night-night. Of course he said dada during the day, when Bob was at work. Bobby loves running errands with me, and is pretty content no matter what we do. He and Winston are finally starting to realize that they can be playmates! He is wearing 9-12 months in clothes, and size 3 diapers. We are about to move into size 4. So far, he has 2 bottom teeth. I believe his top teeth will soon be cutting through his gums. I can feel them under the gum line. We have also started brushing his teeth in the bathtub each night. Overall, he smiles and laughs all the time, and really is a great baby.

Places you love: Kindermusik, runs with mommy in the jogging stroller, wagon rides, the park, swinging at the park, running errands, bath time, and playing with your toys.

Special Friends: Bobby has gotten to spend a lot of time with Harper and Cameron at the park. Ginger (Harper's mommy) and Claire (Cameron's mommy) have become buds through living in the neighborhood, and Kindermusik. Bobby and Drew still see each quite a bit too, and spent a whole day together on MLK Jr. Day.

Current Events: Earthquake in Haiti, GOP momentum building in politics, University of Alabama wins BCS Championship, Taylor Swift wins top honors at Grammy's.

What We did This Day: We went to Publix, a run in the neighborhood, and a trip to the park.
