9 Months Old!

Our big boy is 9 months old! He continues to grow into a little boy each day.

This past month brought more changes for him. He is now crawling (although still doesn't realize just how mobile he really is... probably a good thing) and can pull himself up to standing.

He loves crawling around with toys hanging out of his mouth, and loves his Learn & Groove music table. Pulling Ralphie's beard continues to be a hit (as does pulling Mom's hair... we're working on that one).

We're still trying to figure him out as he continues with his "gagging" during meals of solid foods. We met his new pediatrician this week. She was great, and has referred us to a feeding therapist. Unfortunately, we couldn't get an appointment until MAY. In the meantime, he does love his solid foods. Avocado took a little convincing, but went right down after it was mixed with a little apple sauce.

We love you, buddy! Happy 9 months!
