Max is nine months old today... three quarters of a year old! Jamie and I can hardly believe how fast this year has gone!At 9 months old, Max...
...weighs 15 lbs. 7 oz. (as of last Tuesday)
...eats 6 oz. of Neosure formula 5 times a day and usually takes an extra 2 oz a couple of times during the day
...isn't a huge fan of "real" food yet, but we're still trying! Up next, avocado!
...goes to bed at 8:30, wakes up around 7 and rarely wakes in the middle of the night
...takes 2 naps a day, usually about an hour, but sometimes he'll go for 2, which is awesome
...started at a new day care provider last week... it just got to be too much for a pregnant Auntie Katie!
...has discovered his toes and is constantly trying to get them into his mouth
...is constantly trying to get *everything* into his mouth
...loves his shaky (jittery? buzzy? vibrating?) elephant toy on his car seat and he just recently figured out how to pull it down and make it work
...is so happy in his Exersaucer! And just last night we clicked it up to the next level in height
...has really mastered rolling over! The last few mornings, we've found him on is tummy in his crib, and it's getting harder and harder to change his diaper, since he's always trying to roll away!
...can sit up on his own for a few seconds before he falls over; if he loses concentration he lands on his face, poor baby! We're making progress though! We practice this skill daily
...is a real blabbermouth! He's always "talking" and has something very important to say
...loves meeting new people! 9 times our of 10, a new person he meets is likely to get a huge grin
...is drooling *constantly* We don't think it's teething yet, but he makes buckets of drool and can saturate a bib in about 10 minutes. Grody.
...is starting to fit into 6 month sized clothes, and we can't cram him into the 3 month stuff anymore
...never fails to amaze us every day
Gorgeous photo of Max by my friend, Krista Lund... I'll be posting more for our shoot later this week!
