9 Months Old

One month old

9 months old - Plus 2 new teeth

Where has the time gone? Mommy has asked me this over and over. She cannot believe I am almost a year old. When we go to the store and mommy sees Christmas stuff, she knows my birthday is coming soon too. Mommy tells me all the time how much she misses my newborn days (except for the not sleeping), but she is also looking forward to the days when I will be able to do more.

Now that I am 9 months old, I am full of personality. There have been some changes. I am furniture walking. I love to wave. I am eating more solids. Mommy gives me bits and pieces here and there. I am crawling, but I am in the cruising stage of crawling. We are having a lot of fun.

I am doing really well. I love my babysitter and the grandparents are treating me really good. I got new toys, clothes and a new coat this week. I love them! I also got two Halloween Costumes. Grandma and Grandpa got me a cute onesie from Cracker Barrel.

I also went to the doctor. I am 15 pounds and 26 inches. The doctor said I look very healthy and I can go off formula when I turn a year old. Mommy is excited that I don't need formula after a year. The doctor is puzzled by my height. He is making Mommy and Daddy wait until I am 2 to see if there is any change in my height (like a growth spurt). If I am not at my acceptable height, I may have to go see a specialist. Mommy doesn't like waiting until I am 2. That is a long time to worry!

Mommy has not been feeling to good, so I am going to give her a break and go to bed early (yeah, right). Have a good week! Love, Niko
