9 Months!

I can't believe Dylan's 9 months already! It just felt like yesterday I was blogging his 8 month birthday. He is due for another checkup...I'm curious to see how much he weighs! While we were waiting for the pediatrician, we let him read a book.

HEIGHT: 27.75 INCHES ( 25 %)

WEIGHT: 17 LBS (10%)

HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE: 44.25 CM (25%)

His head is finally becoming more proportionally to the rest of his body, but he's still a skinny guy.  My mom and Alex thought he was at least 20 lbs because he just feels much heavier!

Things I've noticed this month:

** He has 2 more teeth coming in at the top, so he's drooling more than ever! And it's hard to brush his teeth because he'll bite my finger off! I need to get a soft toothbrush so I can get the behind the teeth! 

** Starting to crawl...we're gonna need to babyproof our house soon! He's starting to grab onto things and pull himself up. I wish our couch was lower so he could balance on that when he stands. He mostly tiptoes when on his feet.

** Says ga ga ga now

** His stranger anxiety is more prominent. When he's scared, he seems to want me over Alex. He's a Mama's boy! 

** Bangs on his toys to make sounds

He doesn't want to sit still to take pictures at all. So I had to put him in his chair so I could try to get some profile shots. 

Loves using blankets for his teething comfort. Not fond of the hard toys.

Sucking his thumb

Always clapping his hands!

Making funny faces

Trying to get out of his chair

Climbing to the edge...

to see what's down on the floor. He does that when he's on the changing table and on the bed. I'm always worried he'll fall off the edge if I don't catch him in time. He's quick!

Crawling a few steps

His new funny face...It's so cute!

Getting sleepy

All pooped out and falls asleep!
