9 Month's Old

9 months old and is mobile! This past month has marked many new milestones for Owen, but the biggest has had to be his mobility! He sure is keeping us on our toes, as we cannot let him out of our site for even a  second anymore. He loves to get into as much trouble as he can and see just how far he can "push the envelope" as some may say. I still cannot get over the fact that he is already 9 months old ... time sure is flying but he sure is fun to get to spend everyday with! We love you Owen with all of our hearts.

Owen's Stats:

Weight: 20 lbs 2 oz (43 percentile)
Height: 28 1/2 inches (60%)
Head Circumference: 47 cm (90%)
Diapers: Size 3
Cloths: 9 month (he seemed to slow down in the weight department probably because of all his moving and grooving!)
Eyes: Slowly turning brown but still have a very pretty blue ring around the outer edges of his eye

What Owen has been up to:

He has mastered crawling and can even run crawl when he really wants to get something .... especially Lexi's kongs which he knows he is not suppose to have

He pulls himself up on EVERYTHING

While he is upright he can also cruse from one thing to the next ... so he can go from one end of the coffee table to the next all while walking

He can also walk while holding onto some of his toys that roll along with him -- its so cute!

He loves to say da-da and says it whenever you prompt him to say anything. For example I can say "Say mama" his response "da-da" ... Doggie "da-da" ... Bottle "da-da"

Has moved onto having real tubbies in the bath-tub ... no more baby tub

He eats breakfast, lunch and dinner and we try to have him eat some snacks too.

We try to have him try little bites of everything we eat and so far he is a fan of food and has grown out of his gage reflux for the most part. Thank goodness :)

This past month also marked the beginning of separation anxiety and let me tell you I will be happy when this stage passes. He is alright with other people if I am not in sight but as soon as he sees me ... he has to come to me otherwise it is meltdown city. This has not been a fun milestone to say the least.

He had his first cold this month with a runny nose and fussiness, but pulled through it like a champ

He has gotten his two bottom teeth! No more gummy smile -- he really is growing up :(

Plays peekaboo :)

Will come when I call him and fallows me everywhere just like a little puppy dog

Loves to play will balls ... he rolls them, throws them and can kick them. He also loves to bang on anything or bang toys together, basically loves to make as much noise as he can.

When I say no he does understand ... does he always listen to me ... well that's another story ;)

Some things he loves: his fisher price house, stackable rings, vetch walking toy, going for walks, playing outside, swinging, doggies, eating in his high chair, playing in his crib, talking baby talk, looking in the mirror and saying hi to the baby

Overall he is a very happy healthy little boy that loves to play, giggle and follow Lexi around whenever she lets him. Happy 9 months baby boy!
