3/4 Year

That's right, C is 9 months old! I can't believe how fast 9 months have passed! It makes me sad to think his babyhood will be gone soon.

This kid is crawling EVERYWHERE and is into EVERYTHING! He doesn't want to be held nearly as much as he used to. Of course he always wants to crawl to and pull up on the things we don't want him to. He even does a bear walk...I think he'll be standing up and walking soon. We hold his hands and let him walk all over the house and he loves it! He's walking pretty well that way and is just excited to do what big brother does :) We haven't let him crawl near the stairs yet...he might be ready, but I'm not!

He's eating 3 full meals a day. B eats lunch and dinner with him and C loves being able to sit right next to him. He's been eating some finger foods and tried some real food. His favorite is still puffs and cheerios. He eats graham crackers and pieces of fruit too. He has 3-4 bottles a day. One with every meal and another for a snack. Depending on how he's eaten, I will substitute the bottle for water or half-strength juice.

He FINALLY has 2 teeth...the bottom 2! I thought those things would never come in! He was teething (still is) for such a long time, so I know he feels better with them in. His two front teeth are starting now. I'm ready for them all to come in so he won't be in pain anymore (and we don't have to hear the whining ;)

He's taking 2 naps a day. Some days we could squeeze in a 3rd power nap, but he refuses it now. They're both around 1.5 hrs. At night he sleeps from 7/7:70 - 7/ 7:45am! He's always been a pretty good sleeper :) There are some nights he goes down at 6:30 b/c he wakes up earlier from his 2nd nap than he should. Then he will be up by 6:45 am, which isn't so good. Some days he will wake up really early, but will just chill and talk in his crib then go back to sleep. Those days he sleeps close to 8 (I like those days :)

My poor kid is a peanut! He eats a lot, but is still SUPER tiny. He got weighed a few weeks ago and was 15lb, 13oz, so he has to be about 16lb by now. Most of his rompers are 6mos, his onesie footed jammies are 9mos, and shorts/pants are 3-6mos (ha!). I'm not worried about his size though, bc he's gained weight like he's supposed to. I got lucky with B being a little bigger than C, bc the hand-me-downs are perfect for the seasons with them being 2 months difference in birthdays.

C loves playing outside with B...especially when there is water involved! He got in our baby pool with B for the 1st time over Memorial weekend. Then this past week he got in a big pool for the 1st time! It was a little chilly, but once he got used to it he loved it! He kept sticking his tongue in the water and trying to lick it...I couldn't really stop him, so just let him go for it ha! He also loves riding around in the wagon. When the boys are in the playroom C only wants to stand up at B's train table and pull apart the track and eat the engines...B isn't too happy about this. I have to keep C away as much as possible. He will play with the music table a good bit and likes to climb on the mini trampoline, which he dives head first off of! I have to watch him like a hawk, not just for that reason, but b/c he wants to put everything in his mouth. Can't wait til that goes away!

He has said MaMa and BuBu (pronounced similar to bubba...he says this when he sees B or our pets). He has said Da, but not DaDa yet. He also likes to stick out his tongue and fake cough. That cough kills me! Can't wait to see what's in store for us the next few months :)
