9 months seems to have gone by in the blink of an eye. There are so many developments and milestones that I can't keep up. Jaydon is truly growing up and becoming more and more little boy and less baby boy. He weighed in a 21lbs 11oz (70th percentile), is 28.5 inches long (50th percentile) and has a big head (90th percentile). He is a mover, you put him with his toys and he is content, you quickly run into the kitchen to get something and when you look up he has gotten across the room and is getting into the cat food dishes. He is not too big a talker - definitely makes his ahhhh and eeeees but isn't doing a ton of consonant sounds.
Trying out some cheerios. He does not have the pincer grasp down yet so he just hits them around his tray and gets them stuck in his hands but he is practicing. He is still a good eater who will try and eat most everything! We do baby sign with him and while we aren't great about remembering it all the time, Jaydon has learned the sign for milk and does that one quite a bit.
He quite enjoys a wooden spoon and a pot lid. Also with his new mobility he enjoys getting into the entertainment center cupboards, pulling out movies, getting into the higher shelves of stuff and just being a curious crawler.
He started pulling himself to his knees and always greets us looking out of his crib this way after sleping. Naps are pretty good for the most part (he still does 35-45 minute naps sometimes that are not so much fun because then he is cranky pretty quickly but if we can get past that hour mark it is good). Night sleeping is still not great - we are working on it.
You can see the bottom two teeth in this pict. The top right one is through and the top left is really close.
