Landon is 9 months

Mr. Big Boy is turning into a mini moving machine!! He is super busy and it's getting hard to take his photos! he flips, he squirms, he crawls away, stands.. he's very very hard to control! but every photo is worth all the trouble!






Weight: We came back from vacation and he had a little cold. They weighed you at 19 lbs. not bad.



Health: we made it through 9 out of 10 days in hawaii before he caught a mild cold. he also cut 2 teeth this month and that has thrown him off a little. He's a little moody and his sleep patterns have changed. Daylight savings time also threw us a curve ball. Oh- lets just say, change change change has really caused us to get a little loopy.







Sleep: we follow a sleep when baby sleeps rule.. because lately he's a trying to get adjusted! he dropped his 3rd nap and he's now taking 2 long naps.. his schedule seems to be:

7am Wake
10am nap
2:30 pm nap
7:30 sleep
1:30am nurse
5:00am nurse



Clothing:

Mostly everything is 6-12, carters 12, and jammies are 6-12/9.

We Just washed all his 6/9 clothing from h&m, Gap and Zara (they seem to run true to size).
Sizes 12 in ralph lauren, Carters

it made me sad to pack all his baby clothes away. he looks like a little toddler!



Diet:
He's eating 3 oz of baby food and 6-7 oz per nursing session (I think). He usually gets 2 oz of veggies and 1 of fruit. Drinks 2-3oz of water from a sippy cup with a straw.

items he picks up: bread, avocado, peas, green beans, carrots, cauliflower, sweet potatoes, pears, apples, blueberries, string cheese, puffs, gerber cheetos, broccoli, mango, papaya, cantaloupe, watermelon, garbanzo beans, kidney beans, black beans, rice, steel cut oatmeal... pretty much anything I eat, you want to taste.



Development:

Well you stand, get down, cruise, crawl, climb... he is on the verge of walking. We introduced a walker and by the 2nd day, he was backing it out and pushing it around. He got one of those walkers to sit in for christmas- and we used it at grandma and grandpas for a few weeks with little interest, so we took it home... a few days ago- he realized how much freedom he had with it.. opening drawers, pushing over the trashcan, chasing the dogs... its madness! He can climb up his slide and slide down, we are on stage 3 of our excersaucer... and he loves to stand up and watch us run his bath.

verbal development:
mama, dah dah, pap pap, mah, eat, hi, bye, bock bock (chicken)

claps his hands when we sing, plays well by himself, notices other babies and he's very chatty.

he knows which dog is which. if I ask him wheres Leiah Bear, he will look her way etc.



Crying: a few days before he cut his first and second tooth- there was some drama.



He is such a Joy! I love LOVE LOVE LOVE him!
