Nine Months.

Weight: 18.10 lbs the doc told dad that you are a little underweight but that is because you're so tall! You measured at 29 inches and she said not to worry, it's all going to your height.

Clothing size: 9-12

Diaper size: 3

Feeding: Drinking less formula and eating more. I finally gave in and let daycare give you whatever meals they give the kids there unless it's fried or breaded, I send your own meals if that happens.

Milestones: You stand up with help, not on your own yet, but you're almost there. You're still not crawling like you should but the doc also said not to worry about this, you'll get there. Just when we think you're going to do it, you get back on your belly. You're teasing us! I worry too much though and I know I need to let you reach your milestones when you're ready, not because the book says so. You're eating a lot more solids now. You give kisses! wet, slobbery kisses but kisses nonetheless. We ask you for one and you lean forward, mouth wide open and you kiss us on the mouth. I could do that all day long. You also shake your head when we say no. It's the cutest! We also got the okay to give you cheese and yogurt. You've liked cheese so far, I've yet to give you yogurt. I'm sure you'll like it.

Loves: One of your favorite meals is spaghetti with ground turkey! You love all fruit and veggies right now. You haven't said no to anything yet. You are so into your baths now and you move your little legs as if you're swimming in your tub. I can't get enough of that and I laugh every time you do it. You still have your weird obsession with feet but you hardly ever play with your own. It's the funniest thing, if one of us is barefoot, you do everything possible to take a look and you can sit there and stare at them all day. Guess this means I will need a pedicure every week!

Dislikes: Diaper & clothes changes. Diaper changes are okay but clothes? I think you want to roam around naked if you could. I think you want to get this done as quickly as possible because you even hold your arms up and put them through the sleeves on your own. You're so smart!

Adventures: You go everywhere on your own and you want to touch, pull and eat everything you can get your hands on. You're obsessed with curtains and outlets. Yup, outlets. You know what this means for us? Time to start baby proofing the house and put gates up. You're a little wanderer.

Mommy and Daddy could not get through the month without: Snacks, your paci and your toys. If you already ate and we are sitting you on your high chair, you get mad if you don't have anything to eat. We give you a snack to keep you entertained. Sorry kid we gotta eat too! Your paci at night and you can play with your toys all day, well then you get bored and you try to go to the living room on your own.

This is such a fun stage for you and us. We love all the milestones you are reaching and how you understand and do so much more. I can't even imagine what you will do when you start walking! We will be really busy parents. There's no words for us to tell you how much we love you!
