9 months!

My sweet boy turned 9 months on December 22nd and went for his 9 month well check today. Just as we knew, he is a BIG boy!

Here are your stats:

Weight: 24lbs (96th %)

Height: 30 in (94th %)

Head: 18.5 (92nd %)

Happy 9 months, Baker!

You, buddy, are the light of our family. Your sisters love you to pieces and I couldn't have asked for the Lord to bless us with a more darling boy. Your sweet, calm nature, your wild spirit and your laid back personality is such a joy to be around. 

You have turned in to a bit of a mama's boy but you sure do light up when you see your daddy!

You have grown up so much this past month. You do some various versions of traveling around (scooting, army crawling, crab walking, rolling) and are all over the place. You are pulling up on things and we are dropping your crib down tomorrow because you keep pulling up in your bed. While trying to take your 9 month pictures, you were trying to escape, haha!

You love to play! You especially love balls and anything that makes lots of noise!

We switched you completely to formula this month and you have 4 8oz bottles a day. You eat baby food twice a day and have begun to eat table food as well (which you love!). You have tried bananas, strawberries, eggs, cheese, chicken, turkey, broccoli, green beans, oranges, rice and potatoes. You have two teeth and 5 more that will be here any day. Your top 2 are pretty much through, the ones on either side are working their way down and one more on the bottom is popping through. Your eyes are still the brightest blue and your hair is still brown. You have your daddy's dark skin and we think you are so very handsome!!

You have turned into the most wonderful sleeper! You go to bed at 7 and don't get up until 7:30 - 8am. You take 2 naps a day, usually about 1.5 hours. You always wake up so happy!

You jabber quite a bit, and love to clap your hands and say "yay!" You love bath time and think it is hilarious to splash your sister! You are truly a delight, sweet fella and have completed our family. I am loving every single minute of watching you grow and am so proud to be your mommy. 

Happy 9 months, doll baby. We will love you forever.
