9 Months!

Eli is 9 months old today. Some changes from last month include:

  • He cut his 3rd tooth..one of the top front teeth.
  • He says mama quite a bit. If i walk out of the room, he will call for me...
  • He scoots around the floor on his bottom and has gotten in the crawling position but has not actually crawled....any day now!
  • Still nursing 4 times per day and eating solids (5 size 2 jars a day).
  • Started the sippy cup and loves it! Eli figured it out within 5 minutes and has been drinking water from it every day!
  • Bedtime is at 7:30 and he will sleep 11-12 hours.
  • Eli is still trying to take 3 naps per day...each of them are about an hour...if I'm lucky!
  • Eli loves to be outside and absolutely loves to swing.
  • He is experiencing some separation anxiety and will cry each and every time I leave the room.
  • Speaking of facial expressions, his are pretty incredible. You can almost tell what he is thinking just by his face....very expressive!
  • Still in size 4 diapers.
  • Some personality traits that are starting to show through: demanding and yet easy going at the same time (easy going for 90% of the time but when Eli wants something then he will let it be known), pensive, afraid of strangers/shy, humorous (If we laugh at him for something cute then he will do it over and over so I think he will like to make people laugh) and last but not least...a sweet little angel!
  • Weighing in at 20 lbs and is in 50% of all other 9 month old babies for height and weight. 95% for head circumference.....which is precisely why my babies are cesarean babies!!

Here are Eli's 9 Month Photos!!
