9 Months Old!

Yes our little guy is not so little anymore! He is 9 months old today, which means it has been 18 months since this all began! It is getting harder and harder to get a good picture, but today grandma was there to help me out:

9 month stats:
20lb 6oz
28in tall

At 9 months old you:

• have two bottom teeth, and 3 top teeth with one more on the way
• go to bed between 8-9pm and wake up between 8-10am
• take a couple hour nap around noon, and around 4pm
• have not been wanting to take naps lately
• love your paci when going to sleep
• can eat finger foods very well
• love to eat Chex cereal (more than a bottle sometimes)
• love mommy's homemade baby food and have eaten a wide variety
• eat 3 times a day plus snacks
• are still in size 3 diapers but wear a size 4 at night
• still have sky blue eyes
• don't fall asleep in the carseat anymore
• have almost outgrown your infant carseat!
• can scoot backwards, but are not crawling yet
• love to stand up (with assistance)
• are good at getting into a sitting position on your own
• say "dadadada"

Too cute! Yesterday I finished a new shopping cart cover. The one I made before was crocheted and was pretty much a temporary fix until I could get around to sewing one. I shun patterns, so I "visualized" it in my head how it would be put together, and it turned out just like I wanted! I hand-embroidered his name on the front and put cotton batting on the seat part for some softness. I will try to sneak a picture of him using it next time we go to the store.

Well it sounds like he is waking up from his much-needed nap now, so I will finish with this picture of him sleeping in LATE yesterday morning. I had to wake him up at 10:30am!!
