Feeding: Stafford is a GOOD eater and it makes me so happy! He still has 4 bottles a day but we've knocked it back to just 7 ounces per bottle since we've added a little rice cereal to them. He is still eating baby food three times a day (b'fast, lunch and dinner) AND we've even thrown in a little table food here and there. Wednesday night, Stafford sampled baked beans and ribs (mushed up and in teeny pieces, of course) and he LOVED them both! He is not a big fan of water or juice and he still doesn't like green beans...I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that we won't have a picky eater on our hands!!
Sleeping: Still sleeping wonderfully in his crib, throughout the night, which makes Reed and I very happy! We keep all five wubbanubs in there with him so he can find one at any point in the night thereby eliminating one of us having to get up and give him one. He loves looking at his "cow jumping over the moon" projector on the ceiling...it keeps him thoroughly entertained even after he wakes up...best purchase ever!
Weight/Height: At his 9 month appointment, Stafford weighed 18 pounds, 10 ounces and was almost 3 feet tall! :) His doctor said this was the biggest jump in percentile that Stafford has had to date. He's growing!!
Clothes: Stafford is mostly wearing 9 and 12 month "dressy" outfits now, depending on the brand. He's been wearing lots of 12 month playclothes since those tend to run a bit smaller (so I've found). He's also in a size 3 diaper which is fabulous because now we can wear overnite diapers!!
Personality: LAID BACK best describes this little guy. He is so happy, smiles a ton, babbles all day long (and even some in his sleep!) but does have a tiny bit of a temper. We've discovered that he doesn't like having something taken away from him...hmmm, where does he get that from?!! :) He really is such a loving child and I hope he stays that way forever!
Fitness: Stafford is sitting up very well on his own now and I love it! He's not crawling or pulling up yet but I have a feeling it is coming soon. The other day, Reed said he tried to crawl a little bit but couldn't get his knees under him quite yet. He has started clapping and waving his hands around AND kicks his legs all of the time!
happy 9 month birthday to you!!
