Grayson: 9 Months

Weight/length:

Weight: 22 pounds
Length: 30 inches

Grayson is wearing 9-12 month clothes and is still in size 3 diapers. We are down to 3 bottles a day and a sippy cup at night, as well as some sips of water throughout the day. He is still chowing down on his purees and has recently gotten better at feeding himself puffs and yogurt melts. We have had some small bits of table food here and there, but with a terrible cold turned sinus infection, we've put trying new finger foods on the back burner. We are hoping after this round of antibiotics is finished, we will be good as new and ready to keep trying new things!

Sleep:

After a 2 week hiatus from a croupy cough and sinus infection, we are slowly getting back on track. Grayson is usually in bed no later than 7 and we get him out of bed at 6. Lately, he's been getting up at 5:30 (sometimes 5) and sitting up/crawling around the bed. Silly goose. I'm hoping this is just a phase and he will go back to sleeping until at least 6.

Likes:

Grayson loves sweet potato puffs, Sprouts pouches, applesauce, bath time in his inflatable duck, Mickey Mouse, crawling everywhere, trying to pull up, TV remotes, and Elsa's tail

Dislikes:

Grayson hates coughing, medicine, the nose frida, having his nose wiped, throwing up, and diaper changes

Milestones:

We have come so far this month! One day he just started going from his tummy to sitting and a few days later he was crawling like a maniac! We invested in a large baby pen  (we refer to as baby jail)  in order to keep him contained. Grayson loves crawling anywhere he can and trying to pull up on everything! It's exciting, scary, and exhausting! Ha.

Still talking up a storm, but his favorite word is definitely da-da. I think he is starting to put together that Christopher IS da-da. I'm ma-ma on occasion, but so is the tv, his walker, his blocks....or whatever. :)

And still....NO. TEETH.
