9 Months Old!



Gavin is 9 months old. Wow, I can't believe we have made it another two months. He is getting so big. Gavin still only has two bottom teeth, but those pesky top ones are coming. He has been drooling like crazy and we have had a few sleepless nights. The doctor looked at them on Thursday during his check up and said they are about to break through. My poor baby. All I can do is keep giving him Tylenol and cold things to gnaw on. Gavin is officially crawling. No more "worm" crawl. He is getting faster by the day. He is also pulling himself up on anything he can reach. We have had a few falls, but everyone has said that is expected, especially when you have a boy. I have already been warned about boys falling, being dirty and putting things up their nose. Boy, do I have some fun to look forward to :)

We went for his 9 month check up and he is doing great. We have stopped the medicine for his acid reflux and all of the symptoms seem to be gone. They told me he would outgrow it and sure enough he did. We are starting him on more table food and he has yet to turn away anything. His favorites seem to be avocado, macaroni, cottage cheese, mango, nectarines, Mexican rice, and potatoes. He does great with a sippy cup and wants nothing to do with the bottle during the day. Here are his 9 month stats:

Weight- 24 lbs. 9 oz. (95th percentile)
Height- 29 inches (75th percentile)

He is a big boy!
