9 months

Today I turn a very distinguished 9 months old. You'll have to wait to hear my latest height and weight details until after my well-check tomorrow. Meanwhile, I can tell you that I have a very good appetite and I like any food that I am given. Current favorite are cheese, bananas, pizza, grapes, apples, and anything on my mom's plate. I roll around all over the place, but no crawling yet. As for teeth - none have shown up yet. But you can tell by the drool covered chin that teething is in the works.



Because of those pesky teeth my sleep is a little inconsistent. Some nights, if all is okay, then I can sleep a solid 11 hours. Other times, I wake up and need comforting. And naps vary too. One day I might nap for hours, then only 30-45 minutes at a time the following day. Mom tries her best to keep me on schedule and so far she's doing a good job.
I love my toys, especially a soft kitty cat that I snuggle with in bed. Things that rattle, light up and make noise are also very interesting. My favorite thing to watch is my big brother. Robby is a source of endless entertainment even if sometimes he gets a little rough. The cats are also fascinating. I try not to pull their fur, but sometimes it's hard to remember to be gentle.
I still love music and quite often my mom can stop my screams in an instant by playing a certain CD by Elizabeth Mitchell. That has worked wonders in the car. But I also like to hear mom sing. We go to a class at the Y called GymBabies and I love song time. The bubbles are pretty cool too. Mom needs to get those out more often at home.

Well, more tomorrow after I see the pediatrician. I hope I don't get any shots...
