Houston - 9 Months

Houston is now 9 months old! I have been enjoying him so much lately, as he has really begun to develop his little personality,

Stats:
Weight 22.4 lbs (Chunky!)
Wearing 9-12 month clothing.
Wearing size 4 diapers – as of this week
Crawling -a little funny, but it works!
Pulling up and cruising – all of the time!
Standing on his own – 15 seconds is his record!
Teeth – two on the bottom. He is drooling like crazy, but he won’t let me feel around for any more emerging teeth for very long, so it’s hard to tell.


He is taking 3 (6oz) bottles during the day, and wakes about around 11:00p.m. for an 8 oz bottle. He then sleeps until 7:30 or 8:00 the next morning. Since I have been home, he is on a predictable routine with naps and mealtimes. He has recently begun eating some soft table food. He does pretty well with soft meat and the Gerber pasta. He loves cheerios! I usually put a few on his tray before I feed him to keep him occupied while I’m getting his meal ready. He likes to babble and blow raspberries. He loves the bath and is crazy about the swimming pool! He is so much fun to play with and loves playing or “wrestling” with his daddy! His little smile is contagious!
