Andrew 9 months

We just had Andrew's 9 month well check up and he's doing great. He weighed 18 pounds 8 ounces (10-25 percentile) and was 28 1/2 inches long (50-75 percentile). He gained weight and got taller since his 6 month check up but his percentiles went down for his weight and height. In three months he only gained 1 1/2 pounds...he's definitely been on the move so I'm sure that explains it. Looking more like a boy than a baby nowadays but just as cute as ever. Andrew usually goes to bed at 7 and gets up at 5am to eat and falls right back asleep until about 6:30. He usually only takes two naps during the day which only last 30 minutes each. He often cries when he wakes up which makes me think he's not rested but seems to be ready to play after you hold him for a little bit. He's eating more table food with us at dinner and just the other night he ate lots of brown rice and squash. He's still crawling on his belly but gets his bum up in the air and is trying to figure out how to crawl on his hands and knees. Andrew is such a happy little boy who smiles at everyone who talks to him. He is definitely a wiggle bug and tries to grab for everything within reach when you're holding him. Oh, one more thing...he gives the best hugs!

  1. You are so right about the smiles and those hugs, I miss holding Andrew so much. Every morning he was so happy to see me and it made me feel so good.
