Weight: At his 9 month appt he weighed 20 lbs 6 oz. I really thought he was going to be weighing a little more, but he is still eating like a champ.
Clothes: Mostly size 12 months, a few 9 month still. We are fully in size 4 pamper's diapers now.
Sleep: Still sleeping about 10 1/2 hours with one wake up on good nights. Every once in awhile we have a rough night, but usually not too bad..
Eating: Solids and breastmilk is Ethan's diet!! I am so happy that we are still breastfeeding, trying to make it to a year. He is eating 3 meals a day and usually loves food. He is definitely letting us know more when he doesn't want something by throwing it on the floor!
Looks: Blonde blue eyed handsome little boy!
Milestones: Crawling everywhere, standing for a few seconds without assistance, climbing everywhere, saying mama and dada, lots of babbling, and we are up to 7 teeth now - he had 4 more teeth come in this month - poor kid!
Firsts: first words, first flight, first trip to California, first circus, first time swimming in a baby pool, first time swimming in a hotel pool, first time swimming in a lake, first graduation party, first "horse" ride (mechanical horse), first time on the Golden Gate Bridge
What we are looking forward to: all the fun activities this summer!
What we are dreading: more teeth coming in...
Favorite moment this month - our trip to California!!!! He did awesome!
Food that he eats - So, he eats so many different foods now that I don't really keep track of them any more! The big new foods this month were mac and cheese and scrambled eggs!
This month's miscellaneous - Unfortunately we lost his favorite toy "shovel" on our trip to California...sad....he also loves empty pop/water bottles!
Other big news of this month - Ethan got to meet paramedics and firefighters for the first time this month - and not in a very good way. On the last day of school (with kids) I was getting Ethan ready and set him on the double bed in his room like normal. He was crawling around and turned to sit up and was too close to the edge. He fell backwards and hit his head on the floor. He cried and I started comforting him. He then started throwing up and I got really scared so I called 911 - didn't know what else to do! The paramedics were very nice and told me he seemed fine and just to take him into the dr when they opened. I took him into the urgent care clinic and they said just to keep an eye on him. So, he got to spend the day with Momma Morai. Needless to say I missed giving my last final and was very shook up. He ended up being fine - but definitely a scary mommy moment! I am sure he was really scared too. I am glad everything turned out ok.
