9 month update

It really has been an entire month since I've posted a new blog. Bad blogger...I know. Brody was 9 months old as of 7/25, and I am one depressed mommy! It's so bittersweet. I miss him being a baby, but this stage is just so much fun. I love that he's crawling and climbing and walking with his walker. He's curious and hilarious...just such a fun baby. So...on to the 9 month stats:

Brody is 23 lbs and 14 oz. Almost triple his birth weight:). He's in the 92nd percentile for weight.

He is 29 and 1/2 inches long - 85th percentile for height.

His head was 75th percentile.

We have one big boy on our hands! Everything checked out great.

Brody is down to two bottles a day (sometimes 3 if need be) so he's getting around 16-24 oz a day. He eats oatmeal and apple sauce for breakfast and gets a fruit and veggie for lunch. For dinner (this is transitioning) he's getting some table food. We are trying to incorporate pieces of fruit and pieces of vegetables, and now are supposed to bring in some shredded meat and yogurt. It's so hard to keep up with the constant food changes! Once I get used to his feeding schedule, we incorporate something else.

One odd thing is that Brody can't grasp putting food in his mouth. I know this is strange, but seriously my child NEVER puts toys or anything from his hand to his mouth. Never has. He picks up toys and plays with them, but doesn't put them in his mouth. Same with food. I will lay out food on his tray and he will pick it up and play with it or throw it down, but will NOT put it in his mouth. This has been challenging because, in turn, I am putting the food in his mouth. Yes, lovely. Hopefully he picks this up soon:). I figure watching kids do it in daycare, he'll pick it up soon enough? Until then, I'll just have messy hands:).

He is currently sleeping from around 8 or 9 PM to around 7 or 7:30 AM. He still takes a two hour morning nap and a two hour afternoon nap. I hope those stick a little while too!

I think walking is right around the corner...watch out!
