Nine Months



The past month was a big one for developmental milestones. Logan got 2 teeth, started sleeping 10-12 hours at a stretch, and can army crawl to get himself where he wants to go. He can sit himself up from a lying-down position, and we now find him sitting in bed playing instead of going to sleep. He also likes to lie on his back, lift his legs up over his head, and then smack them down to make the mattress bounce. He’s 28” long (48th percentile), 19.5 lbs (40%) and, as the doctor said, he’s still got quite a noggin (75%).

He’s entered his mommy phase, where he’s very clingy and wants mommy at all times. He studies things intently—while I’m changing his diaper he loves to examine my watch, my ring, and my elbow (I guess it’s very interesting how it changes shape as you bend and straighten your arm). He loves balls that spin, The Tooth Book by Dr. Seuss, and Sophie the Giraffe. He’s also pretty fond of the remote control. He loves hiking in the backpack.

He’s very interested in all things food, and always wants whatever we’re eating. He’s mostly been eating pureed baby food up to this point, but we’re starting to try blending our own dinner and letting him feed himself finger foods. They mostly end up mushy and wet and hidden in crevices for us to find later. We’re also starting sippy cups, but he generally just gnaws on them.
