9 Months Old

>

(me, a YEAR ago!!)

The new man in my life is growing up so fast! Tomorrow he will be 9 months old and I CANNOT believe that we have been parents for almost a year. I think that when my bump was that size I was feeling pretty good. Then I just got HUGE!

So what is Logan up to?

1. Speed crawling all over the place

2. Pulling himself up on everything

3. Lowering himself from places with ease and few bonks

4. Taking a few steps around the furniture

5. Saying "Mama & Baba"

6. Waves "hello" and "goodbye"

7. Nods head "yes" and "no"

8. Signs "more"

9. Gets mad when he can't have something he wants (ie: to touch the fireplace)

10. Showing an awareness of things (ie: fear of water in bath, fear of being in the arms of someone he does not know, knowing when we have left the room)

11. Extremely independent

12. In size 3 diapers--usually cloth

13. In mostly 9-12 month clothes and some 12-18 month sleepers

14. Weighs 17.12oz and is 29.5 inches long

15. Eats cereal with a fruit for breakfast, stage 3 food with fruit and graham crackers for lunch, and whatever we eat for dinner--he has no aversions to anything

16. Thinks cats are the funniest thing on this green (browning) earth

17. Gives hugs and plays peek a boo

18. Hates having his nails trimmed, being inside for too long, having his boogers sucked out, and waiting for his meal to be made

19. Loves going outside, swinging, seeing the dogs chase each other

20. Drinking juice or water from a sippy cup

21. Sleeping 8-10 hours a night

22. Has one tooth all the way through

23. Just had his first real cold

24. Climbs stairs

Things we are looking forward to:

1. Trying cows milk

2. Pushing toys to practice walking

3. Signing more words

4. Saying more words

5. Walking

6. Logan's first holiday season: Thanksgiving and Christmas are my favs!

This month blazed by. I cannot believe it has been an entire month since we were in Michigan. And in that time, Logan has learned so much! I have decided that once he turns one, I will be going to part time and get two more days a week with my boy. I cannot wait! Just in time for school to start. Happy Monday!
