9 Month Stats

Austin had his 9 month appointment this morning, and it was so much better than the others.... for one reason- NO SHOTS! He did get a finger prick to check for anemia, but didn't cry- just gave the nurse a mean look & kept eating cheerios!

Weight- 24lbs 7oz (90th percentile)

Height- 29.5" (90th percentile)

Head Circum- 46.2cm (75th percentile)

I'll leave you with these funny pictures from yesterday- we were being silly... obviously. :) And for those of you who think we are being mean, he was having tons of fun & laughing the entire time! The second picture was more serious because he was watching tv...

9 Months & Picture With Santa

Well, my baby turned 9 months old today! I'm super busy trying to get the house decorated today, so a quick list will have to do this month!

*Austin is eating a lot of different foods with his fingers! He enjoys puffs, cheerios, toast, and SOMETIMES small pieces of meat/veggies (if they are soft enough.) I've also given him a few sweet things, but we won't talk about that. We have packed up the bumbo seat too, and Austin only eats out of his high chair now!

*He is starting to throw temper tantrums. I was hoping he wouldn't ever start the arch-back tantrums, but he has. He especially gets mad when I take something away from him (like the remotes) or when I'm not feeding him fast enough.

*Austin likes watching tv. I don't let him watch much- maybe 15 minutes a day. But he enjoys the shapes, colors, and especially the music. Shane takes him in the office a lot & they listen to music together (all types.)

*He has very dry skin! Granted I know a lot of it is because of the winter weather, but his legs are especially bad. I lotion them up several times a day- poor guy! And his cheeks also get rosy (but that's kinda cute.)

*Austin HATES wearing a hat when we go outside. He's not particularly fond of his coat either, but at least he doesn't try to take it off.

*He is always playing with his feet- mostly pulling his socks off. I can't tell you how many times I've taken him out without one sock on. Nice.

*Austin still loves putting EVERYTHING in his mouth! He's still working on those upper teeth!


Oh, and we waited in line for 2 hours to see Santa on Saturday. The pictures weren't very good, but at least he wasn't crying! Don't you love how his pant leg is hiked up.... :)
