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!
