Today Owen is officially 9 months old! We are going for his 9 month check up on Tuesday but when we were at the urologist this week he weighed in at 22 lbs 15 oz!! What a big boy!
Owen also has 4 teeth! The top two finally cut through and he's feeling so much happier now :) Although now he's dangerous! He bit me on the arm this morning and it really hurt! Those little chompers are sharp!
This month brings a few changes for Owen. We are beginning to feed him in sippy cups and he is slowly getting the hang of feeding himself. Also we are taking away his binkie! :( So sad. Owen loves his binkies, but I am just getting tired of always seeing them in his mouth!!! So we will allow him to have it when he's sleeping and in emergencies (if he's having a public meltdown). He's done pretty good with it so far, but man he is loud!!!! No verbal delay with this one :)
He is also starting to get moving. He isn't crawling yet, but he scoots on his bottom and reaches out with his hands to get to what he wants. He also will do log rolls to get to a certain spot or to get away from something. Last night, he was reaching for a toy and fell forward and ended up in the crawling position.
We hoped maybe he would just get up and crawl, but instead he cried! He might just be that baby that gets up and walks - who knows!?!?!?
What I do know is that we have loved every minute of the last 9 months with our little miracle baby! I can't believe that he's almost a year. Even Kate was telling me yesterday how neat it is to watch infants grow into little people.
Summer brings swimming, the beach, and playing outside in the backyard and Owen is finally getting old enough to enjoy these things with us! What a wonderful summer it will be!
