9 Months Old!

Our baby is 9 months old today!! He went to the doctor for his check up he's doing great! He is a little peanut weighing in at 18lbs 5oz putting him in the 11th percentile for weight. The doctor wasn't concerned though because he is still advancing on the growth chart. He was 28 and 6/8th inches long putting him in the 63rd percentile for height. His head also measured in the 63rd percentile. I think he is finally growing into that head of his :)

We had trouble taking his 9 month picture........getting him to stay still was impossible. We finally gave him a mum mum and had to take his picture in the middle of the crib where he finally stopped for a second. But you still get the idea... :)

Landon has been doing great this past month. Mastering those crawling skills. Pulling up on EVERYTHING. Standing by himself (until he notices he's doing that and then he'll sit down). He eats 3 healthy meals a day with at least 2 stage 2 jars of baby food at each meal. Snacks all day long and drinks about 20-25 oz of formula. He's cut back on his formula intake but has started eating much more table food and baby food. A few of his favorite non baby foods/table foods so far are toast, eggs, mashed potatoes, yogurt, and cheese. He will also take a few bites off of our plate at dinner sometimes and has ate about everything I've put in his mouth. He's great at feeding himself but he still won't hold the bottle himself or even hold his sippy cup or cup with straw. I'll admit...that's probably our fault. Every time we try to get him to hold it he will just play with it instead of drinking. We've got to work on that............advice??

One other thing we have learned that Landon loves is.................getting his teeth brushed. lol. He laughs every time!

Other than that we are enjoying every minute we get to spend with the little man and are REALLY looking forward to our next week at the beach! We leave tomorrow!
