It's crazy how fast this has gone. The big brothers amaze me everyday with their love for Beau and the attention they give him so willingly. I'm so thankful for that. And of course Beau still adores them and watches them constantly. He lights up and grins from ear to ear when they speak to and play with him.
9 months fun facts:
23.9 pounds. 96th percentile
30 inches long. Again, 96th percentile
Head is 18.11 inches in circumference. 80th percentile. Beau has the smallest head out of all 3 boys!
Beau is crawling! He has toyed with it all month and finally on his 9 month celebration day he started to crawl. Thankfully he is still pretty slow but he caught on quickly and I'm sure he will be speedy in no time.
He has an amazing smile.
Babbles all the time.
Feeds snacks to himself.
Testing out real food. So far he has had small bites of carrots, corn, green beans, bananas, skinless grapes and cheese. I'm looking forward to introducing more and more.
Loves to clap.
Loves to dig through and empty a basket of toys.
Size 4 diapers
Size 12-18 (growing out of 12) clothes
Still takes 5 oz bottles (3 a day with Anny) (btw we pulled Beau out of daycare)
Still strictly breast fed with 3 meals a day.
Tries to pull up but gets to his knees and stops. He doesn't seem to have the desire to pull up to standing position. Perfectly happy on his knees.
Goes from sitting to crawling to sitting easily.
Still hasn't rolled over. Oh well.
2 naps a day.
Bedtime is 8 and he is usually up at 6. Occasionally I have to go in to give him a pacifier during the night.
He has had hives most of this month. And still has them. He is on a daily dose of Claritin. We still see hives but not as many. The doctor thinks it's okay. "Some babies just do this."
He has 4 teeth now. All four are on the bottom.
He crosses his ankles still.
When he first lays down to bed, he holds his legs up like the picture below. It's sweet.
