9 Months

I've gotten horrible at keeping up with our monthly posts. Bad Mommy. So our over active little man is doing well. He is 30.5 inches tall and 20 pounds 15 ounces. The doctors said "Wow, he's going to be a tall boy." And the little piggy eats two to three cartons of food per meal. He's also eating cereal mixed in with his fruit during dinner. Then he munches on Gerber puffs and munchies. He's a piggy. So the doctor figured with his amount of solids and nursing that he would be chunkier than he is. He also helped us determine that the over night nursing is not necessary. I've known for a while, I just haven't had the ability to get him to sleep overnight. Or perhaps I haven't had the strength because I don't have the sleep I need to stay strong enough to make him sleep over night. Either way, tonight we are starting this transition. Adam is on vacation and we have to make it happen.

 As for Evan's milestones he still isn't saying Mama or Dada, but he is working on his "m", "d" and "b" sounds. He's cruising the furniture, standing on his own for short periods of time and trying to walk between the toys. He's also walking back and forth between the sides of the pack n play. He's also all too well with banging toys together.  He's also getting great with at listening to us saying no and then with a smirk, continuing his wrong doing. Like I said before, he's an amazing eater, and he's great with his pincher grab. Goofy thing also likes to stuff the food in his mouth and try to chew with his fingers still in his mouth.

We really need to get on the ball with signing. With Arabella we started when she was six months old, so we're three months behind. I hope with Arabella still signing that it will help him get caught up.

I'm a little sad. My little man is becoming a toddler too fast for my taste. Before I know it will be celebrating his first birthday. Ah, where does the time go?
