I have started to pull myself up in a
kneeling position. It is my sit position of choice. I haven't
figured out how to sit on my bottom yet so my knees do just fine. I
have also started pulling myself up on things like my crib and the window
ledge. If I am in a standing position I can creep sideways just a bit
but you have to watch me close as I have no trouble falling.
I am fascinated by doors and wheels.
I can open and close doors and wheels I can push. I am able to keep
myself entertained for quite a while with things around the house.
I had part of a turkey meatball the other
day and I loved it. Mommy has been giving me all sorts of chewable
foods. I've had regular turkey meat, gold fish crackers, bread, and
pasta. I am not hoarding food in my cheeks anymore. I simply
inhale whatever gets close to my mouth.
"Adorable!"
Latest Accomplishments:
Clapping
(real clapping where you can hear it)
I got my left top tooth!

This is a little late getting posted but
it's been a REALLY busy week! I started crawling on April 1. I
was in Rachel's room and she was listening to my heart with her stethoscope
while daddy secretly video taped from the door way when I decided to crawl.
He actually captured my first forward movements on video! A whole 11
days later I am crawling like a pro all over the place.
Well I know everyone has been on pins and
needles waiting to hear how the wellness visit went... I weight a
scant 16 lbs. 6 oz. which puts me at the 3% for weight. I am 27 1/4
inches tall. I have been put on the high fat diet which means Mommy
gets to add butter to my meals and mix formula in my oatmeal. All I
can say is I don't like formula in my oatmeal! The stuff smells nasty
and doesn't taste too good either. Everyone who sees me regularly
can't believe that I am on the smaller side weight wise especially when they
see how muscular and manly I am - for a 9 month old anyway.
"There is no stopping me now!"
Favorite Finger Foods: Cheese,
avocado, cheerios, Gerber stars

Can you say "Da Da?" Well I surely
can! I started saying it on Tuesday and I like to say it a lot.
Da da, da da, da da. Mommy says "Ian say Mommy" and I said "Da da" and
sometimes I respond by blowing a raspberry. Not really the response
that she's looking for but I like being Mommy's little man of mystery.
I got another tooth. A bottom one on
the right side. It looks like a top one may be appearing here shortly.
Fortunately, I don't seem to have any real discomfort or accompanying
symptoms (i.e. runny nose or excessive drool).
I am starting to become a little more
patient with books and I will now sit through a reading of one and possibly
two books where as up until recently all I really wanted to do what chew the
books.
My crawling update is as follows - I am
getting up on my hands and knees and I am starting to move knees back and
forth but my hands are planted after a few times I drop to my belly.
It's really just a matter of time.

I am officially 9 months old today!
Happy 9 month Birthday to me! So what's new with me? Well a few
things. I love to swing in the swings at the park. I get to
swing right next to Rachel and Mommy pushes both of us. I giggle when
she pushes me.
I can't get enough of this standing thing.
I can stand for at least 20 minutes and possibly longer. I am very
strong. I was standing up and playing with Rachel's Fisher Price house
and started shaking the house back and forth like an earthquake - Mommy
thought it was very "boy" of me. I think she just means that Rachel
never interacted with her toy like that before.
So I am really really ready to give up my
infant car seat. Mommy needs a patch or something to help her just let
it go. I understand it is convenient to cart me around but I am
starting to get squished. It's clearly not a safety issue - Mommy's
all about safety - I am just ready for my big boy seat!
"Hooray - I am 9 Months Today!"
