The Story Written for Us...: 9 Months Old!

9 months...I have to keep saying it over and over because I'm still in denial...my baby is 9 months old! He is such a joy right now because he is sooo active and loves to be involved in everything! He had his 9 month checkup today and he weighed 18 pounds 12 ounces and was 29 3/4 inches long. He is in the 90th percentile for his height and just below the 50th percentile for weight. Jaxson is such a good eater and loves loves his baby food. Lately, he has pushed the bottle away which causes us to be up at 2-3 a.m. getting a bottle ready because someone is hungry. He loves apple juice and has just started drinking out of a sippy cup. He is wearing size 9-12 month clothes and some 18 mth things. He loves to play with his toys and loves to be in the walker or stroller going somewhere! He still says "da-da" and "ba-ba" and has said "ma-ma" once! He pulls up on anything and everything and has been caught standing alone for a few seconds :) He's a very fast crawler and loves playing with his bath toys! Jaxson reaches for someone to pick him up, claps his hands and cries when I leave him at daycare. He loves to get into "yelling" contest to see who is the loudest. He still sings himself to sleep and loves his paci, especially in the middle of the night.
