I was going to post this last week, but I decided to wait until we had the little guy's nine month check up to post these. This guy is growing like a weed and absorbing everything like a little sponge. He is looking more like a little boy every day. This makes me happy and sad all at the same time. I'm just one emotional sap :/
Height: 28.5" // 52nd percentile
Weight: 9lbs 2 oz // 39th percentile
Head: 17.75" // 51st percentile
EATING
We have officially switched to formula + one bottle of boob milk a day. Pax became quite the biter and we could never quite get over it. My supply also started to dip right before nine months, so I decided that it was best to switch over to formula to make sure that he was still getting everything he needed and that I wasn't a crazy, anxious nut job when feeding time rolled around. He eats a ton of table food and LOVES everything. I haven't found anything that this boy won't eat yet. I'm hoping that this trend continues and he won't become a picky eater!
SLEEPING
He has finally got this sleeping thing down. He typically goes down at 7 and then wakes up around 5:30-7 depending on his mood. Sometimes I bring him down and we get some sleep/snuggles before Macho Man wakes up, but most days he's ready to start his day! His naps are still very sporadic. He generally takes 2 naps and they both range from 45 minutes to 2 hours. Maybe someday they will be more consistent!
ACTIVITY
This is a boy on the go. He never stops moving just like his big brother. The words perpetual motion always come to mind :) He took his first steps by himself on Mother's Day and will take a few unassisted steps here or there. He will walk forever if he has something to push or hands to hold. I foresee him walking in the very near future = gray hair for mama and dada! He loves to play with all of the toys, especially when his big brother is napping and he has them all to himself. He is truly such a happy, easy going boy that gets joy out of all the things life has to offer him.
Happy nine months sweet boy!
