9 month check-up!!


I can't believe RJ is already 9 months!!! The time seems to fly by!! He is amazing, although he still is a Momma's boy... I love it!! He is such a love! He is crawling like a champ, everywhere and anywhere!! He pulls up on everything and topples over like a champ. I watch him at times trying to feel for the ground with one hand before splatting! I love watching him learn his environment and being so curious.

He weighed in at 16 pounds, 7.5 ounces -- below the 3rd percentile, his height was 28 and 1/4 inches -- the 45% percentile, and his head came in at 17 inches -- the 5%! I raise tiny kids!! I still want to eat him up!!

He is so much fun! I really don't want to forget a thing, although I am sure I won't remember the little things from memory...hence why I am trying to write things here so I will have it forever!

RJ is starting to get more hair and loves to explore! He has realized he can 'play' with Morgan which I'm not sure she really likes yet... sharing is a strong point for her... but with her brother... when he just grabs exactly what she is playing with... I watch in amazement when he kind of gives her a look and grabs for another toy... the best is when he grabs for her hair!! He knows how to protect himself!!

He is really beginning to like the play tables and Morgan will show him how to use them. Sometimes she needs a soft reminder that he was playing first!

RJ still doesn't like mushy foods... he has been eating lots of banana, avocado, and some sweet potato or squash... but his favorite is avocado! He does not like baby oatmeal or prunes... I am trying to force the prunes to help with his digestion, but he hasn't jumped on that bandwagon yet! (Morgan usually eats the rest of the small container after 3 bites go all over RJ's face)

RJ I can't believe you are 9 months and you are so much fun!! Hugs!!
