Carson: Month 9

Carson is 9 months old! He's been outside my belly longer than inside now, and just keeps growing and growing.

This month Carson:

• Weighs 21 pounds
• Wears 9-12 month clothes and size 3 diapers
• Takes two naps a day: one usually in the stroller on our morning walk and then a good solid afternoon nap
• Loves eating baby food, and does okay with finger food. His favorites are cheese, crackers, prunes and yogurt
• Is crawling super fast and can now climb the stairs easily
• Pulls up to stand on anything he can especially on Molly's chair in her room
• Can wave and clap and says "HI" every now and then
• Has had many bumps and bruises including a fat lip from his sister pushing him over
• Puts himself to sleep at night most nights and sleeps about 11 hours
• Still has just 2 teeth, and I love his gummy smile!
• Had a pretty bad case or croup, but luckily got better fast for his first road trip!
• Loves taking baths with Molly and still cries when we take him out
• Has started to love reading books and like to turn the pages
• Puts EVERYTHING in his mouth, and we can't leave the house without his pacifier
• Loves being included in what the family is doing and hates when we leave the room
• Spent his first night away from mom and dad and seemed to do awesome!
• Likes chasing a ball around or playing on the slide in the basement
• Is SUCH a good baby and we love everything about him!
