9 Months Old!!

Yep, this sweet boy is 9 months old!

I try to take monthly b-day pictures in the morning before we leave for school. 

Usually I have to get Daddy to act up behind me to get some smiles. Andrew learned fast to crawl away when I break out the camera.

These turned out really good though. Those two bottom teeth have really come in! He is breaking through about 4 on the top too!

This has to be my favorite! This sweet boy has moved into size 3 diapers. He is 17.5 lbs and 25 inches. He is finally in the 1.1% for his length - exciting!

After we got back from Galveston, he had an ear infection for a good four weeks. We went to the doctor's office three times, were on the three different antibiotics and then it finally cleared up. Only to then have an enlarged spleen and liver because of the infection! So we had to have blood drawn and an ultrasound done. Luckily, everything is back to normal but that was a miserable few weeks. 

Andrew is now crawling on all fours, no more army scootin. He eats breakfast at daycare (rice cereal) and then some pureed lunch (usually sweet potatoes, mangos or peas & carrots) and then gets a snack of yogurt and applesauce. For dinner, it just depends what we have. Sometimes it's cheese and avocado, more purees, rice cereal, mac & cheese....

He also loves his push toys and he loves to push the chairs in the dining area around. His favorite toys are usually the tupperware in the kitchen or the dog bowls. He is in 6-9 month clothing. He can wear 9 month onesies but everything else that is 9 months is just too big for him. He can still fit into most of his 6 month clothing as well. 

Sometimes when he sleeps is lays across the crib and he just looks so big to me. It is like he grew into a little boy over night. He is still so much fun and great when we take him out. He loves to people watch. I don't know where he got his social skills ;) He is still waking up once a night, at least. It's not terrible for us since we are used to it but it will be nice when he decides to start sleeping through the night. He just doesn't get enough calories during the day to last all night. 

He is such a sweet boy and we are so blessed to be his parents. We love him so much and even more each day. His one-year birthday is creeping up and I am so excited for him and can't wait to see him grow and learn!
