Happy 9 Months Cole

Holy Moses!!! Cole, you are 9 months already....what have you been up to this month??

• Not sure, but we think you still weigh about 26lbs. You have definitely plateaued!
• Still wearing size 3 diapers and size 4 night time diapers
• Thank God, you have been in the same clothes for awhile now, you've been in 18 month clothes for almost 3 months.
• You graduated into the bigger car seat and love it!
  
• You are eating so much more finger foods, but still love the baby food we make you. We have also tried some new foods this months such as blueberries, rice pasta and about to try some chicken. Yeah, I may pass on pureeing the chicken from now on, I almost threw up the first time I tried it.....yuck!!!
  
• You eat 3 meals a day, with dinner being your pig-out meal.
  
• You are pretty much now on only 2 naps a day. The first nap is usually no longer than an hour, but your second nap is closer to 2 hours.
• You are crawling all over the place now. You love to explore all over the house and follow us wherever we go.
• You also are pulling yourself up and standing on everything...because of all these new tricks you have learned, you have found it unnecessary to sleep through the night. All these new tricks need to be practiced, so who needs sleep?
• You still love your bath time, but now you try to climb out of the tub, so or baths usually get cut kind of short.
  
• One thing you still love more than anything, is when we take your clothes off to take a bath, you love to stand in front of the mirror and laugh at yourself...ha!
• Lately you have become such a momma's boy. You still will go to anyone, but you have been so cuddly with me lately and I love it!
• You are babbling so much more. You are saying: Da Da, Ma Ma, Duh duh AND you started giving high fives.

This is such a fun stage in your life. There are so many new things you are doing and it seems like everyday brings us something new. We love you so much Cole!
