9 Months

Colin is 9 months old today!!


Where do I even begin? This little guy has had a very eventful month. I will start by saying that the day after her turned 8 months old, he ran his first fever. It turned out to be just a fever virus which ran its course over 4 days. He also ran his second fever this month too, but this time it was hand, foot, and mouth virus. Thank goodness it wasn't a bad case, and he only felt bad for about 24 hours.


Now on to the good stuff! He is now wearing 9-12 month clothes and is still in a size 3 diaper. He takes 6-7 ounces every 4 hours and eats baby food for breakfast and dinner. He alwso LOVES table food. We let him try almost everything we eat, and he has yet to refuse anything. Sometimes he claps after you give him a bite of your food, and it is the sweetest thing!


He can crawl and crawls everywhere to get into everything!  He can also pull to stand and does so on anything including other babies (Blakely and Tate)!  He can pick up his puff snacks and successfully put them in his mouth....most of the time:)  The problem is he thinks they should all go in his mouth and the same time!  He is also getting better with the sippy cup, but will still drink it too fast sometimes and get a little choked up. 


He loves to listen to his daddy play the guitar.  He has decided that he likes to play it too!  He also still likes to squeal or growl at you to let you know when he wants or needs something.  For instance, when we are at dinner and we are not feeding him OUR food fast enough.  He says "dada"  all the time and has said "mama" a few times.  He likes to talk a lot which I love:)


He now has 3 teeth (bottom 2 and top left), but the fourth is about to break through the skin.  He loves playing outside riding in his car or crawling around in the grass.  We also bought him a baby splash pad which he loved!  I am so exciting for summer time because he loves water so much.  He loves when I show up to pick him up in the afternoons.  The second he hears my voice, he starts whining and frantically looking/crawling to me.  Of course, the second I pick him up he is happy and all smiles!  


Happy 9 months precoius boy!  Mommy and daddy love you so much:)
