9 Months Old

So yesterday (July 1, 2010) I had my 9 month checkup with Dr. Whipple. He is in a new place but it was still my same nurse which I really like. She weighed me and measured me like always. I weigh 24 pounds and 1 ounce. I am 29 1/2 inches tall. Dr. Whipple says I'm going to be a very big, very tall boy. I haven't done a blog like this in a while so here goes...

What I can do

• sit up by myself most of the time, I still get wobbly sometimes though
• I can feed myself if it's on my tray
• I eat big people food like mashed potatoes, green beans, fruit (my favorite vegetable is potatoes, and my favorite fruit...that's hard it's between blueberries and watermelon)
• I love bread, any kind, biscuits, rolls, buns, just bread
• I am starting to talk, I say ma-ma, da-da, I said DOG, and mommy is pretty sure she heard me say Cathy, which has prompted her to tell daddy she is to referred to only by Mama and of course mommy says at one time I've said Home and Uncle
• I love to be outside. I love my stroller, I love my wagon, and I love my green car
• I crawl backwards and I love to roll everywhere
• I love riding in the buggy at walmart
• I love playing with building blocks and I love flash cards
• I am starting to play with toys when I take my bath
• I love to swim
• I love (and I do mean LOVE) dogs!

And for my dislikes...

• I still hate the car (which is why mommy and daddy haven't got to visit Aunt Jeanine and Angie)
• I don't like it when daddy drinks from the water bottles and I don't get to have my own
• I don't like to be left alone
• I have a tad bit of separation anxiety when my mommy leaves me
• I don't like it that I can't get down on the ground like all the other kids

Well that pretty much sums up me at this point. I'm teething. I currently have 4 teeth up top and 2 on the bottom. I wear 24 month clothing and I love my mommy and daddy. Life is good!
