9 Months Old!

Sam, you are 9 months old.


You weigh 21 lbs (75%).
You are 28 inches long (75%).


You have 4 teeth. The top front and bottom front. I miss your gummy smile a little, but when you smile you light up the room!


You are in a size 3 diaper during the day and a size 4 at night.


You wear some 9 month and some 12 month clothing.


You have gotten good at crawling. Anytime Kirksey is playing with something, you want a part of it too. She has learned to try to block you out in order to keep you from getting whatever she has. I am beginning to learn how to play referee between the two of you while hiding my laughter.


You are getting better every day at pulling up on things. Every morning when I come to get you out of your crib you are standing up waiting on me.


You get this big smile and look of satisfaction on your face every time you get a toy you have been after or pull up to stand.


It snowed for the first time in your life this month. You looked so cute all bundled up!


You are beginning to take steps while holding our hands. I do not think it will be too much longer before you learn to walk.


You continue to be a good eater. You love to have things you can pick up yourself. We are working on using a cup, but you haven't quite gotten the hang of using it by yourself.


You still nurse 5 times a day.


You usually take 2 naps a day and sleep 11-12 hours a night.


You have said "mama", "dada", and "bye bye".

I love watching you and Kirksey interact more and more every month. There are so many heartwarming moments every day.


I am so proud to be your mama. We love you more and more everyday that goes by. You bring us so much joy!
