As I watch Dallin sitting in kitchen right now, where he just crawled and then went to sitting all by himself, it amazes me what one can accomplish in 9 months! This has been a big month for him, including some official stats, so let's start there:
He weighs 21lbs and 4oz.
He is 27.8 inches and his head is 18 (the nurse also wrote in his little chart "So Sweet!").
Mobility is officially a major go. He crawls on all 4s now and will disappear before your eyes if you aren't watching his every move. He can go from sitting to crawling and back to second with minimal effort. He's pretty legit.
He can stand up all on his own. Most of the time when you come get him from sleeping, he is standing up in his crib. He also can pull up using furniture, including book cases. Which has resulted in a new activity- clearing shelves.
He love to tear things, namely paper. Not a good hobby.
He will eat things with texture now. He likes baby food with texture and he also likes baby puffs. Very minimal gagging these days.
He says "mama" all the time (love it!). He can also get out some other sounds like ba or da but he's into the mama.
He waves hello and goodbye (and grins the whole time).
He can buzz like a pro. Seriously- future high brass player in the house. He loves to buzz while you feed him... not awesome.
He loves phones and any toy that is not meant to his. One of his favorite things to do is to empty boxes or the little baby rings that stack.
This boy just gets better every day. He is so smiley, so curious, and has just a happy personality. We had to go see an ophthalmologist earlier in the month (he has an astigmatism) and she said "You can just tell he has such a sweet spirit" and he really does! Everyone loves him and so far, he pretty much loves everyone.
