This month has been a big one! You started crawling!!! Yayy! You started crawling the first few days of September and in just a few days you went from a beginner to an expert!! We were very taken back by how quickly you perfected it your crawling skills. You have always been a happy baby but now that you can crawl you are even happier. You are just so proud of yourself when you crawl to a toy and pick it up all by yourself or if mommy goes into the kitchen or bathroom and you come find me you get so excited you have a little happy squeal. You are also pulling yourself to standing on everything and furniture surfing. You love to stand, almost more than you love to walk, and we know that you are going to be walking as soon as you can.
Your nanny and cousin Emmy went away to college this month so you started going to Mary Williamson's house while mommy works. You seem to really enjoy hanging out with her and she just eats you right up! Mommy and daddy both are happy that you are at her house as you get 100% of her attention and it keeps you away from all the germs of daycare for a little bit longer.
You are eating more and more food each and every day. You are starting to become more independent and prefer to feed yourself cheerios, bread, rice chex and puffs over eating baby food some days. You absolutely love all fruit and sweet foods and are not so sure about vegetables or meats. You absolutely love pasta, we are pretty sure that is your favorite food so far. Not surprising given your parents love of pasta.
So far you don't have any teeth nor are you talking...but we feel like both things are right around the corner. We can't wait until you say both mama and dada...you are starting to make gaga and baba sounds so hopefully it will be soon!
We had your 9-month dr. appt. and you weighed in at 17 pounds 4 ounces, 27 inches tall and your head circumference is 17.5 inches. Dr. Becker (your pediatrician) couldn't be any happier with your development. At this point you have no developmental delays as a result of being a preemie and you are on the full-term baby growth chart. She also commented that you won the 'eye color lottery' because your eye color is so pretty and she commented on your toned physique :-P Overall, she was very smitten with you, almost as much as we are!
Love you little man!
Mom and Dad
