cj is 9 months!

9 month stats:

22 lb 10 oz - 80th percentile

29 inches - 80th percentile

he's dropped a little since he's become mobile. at nine months old, cj has 8 teeth and is pretty much on solid foods. he claps, waves (sometimes), signs 'more' & 'all done', babbles somewhat... mamama, dadadada, babababa, crawls, walks & cruises, and balances standing with no hands. he eats regular food, no baby food at all. he also just started feeding me and thinks its very exciting when the food actually makes it into my mouth. another new trick as of the last few days is the indian. he will let you tap on his mouth and will make a sound as you tap so he sounds like an indian. :) very cute. he is quite a playful and happy baby. he already teases his sister too.... giggle... he pulls her hair and tries to hit her face. i say she's got it coming to her!

cj still does not sleep through the night, but prefers to nurse at least 2 times. stair climbing is another interest we are trying to deter... he's pretty much into everything. banging things and walking behind everything he can are his two favorite activities.

we are very blessed. i am thankful everyday for the life we have.
