9 Month Check-up

Ryan had his 9 month check-up at Dr. Gordan's office last Friday. He weighs 21 lbs. 10 oz. and is 29.5 inches long. He is still in the 90th percentile for his height and has dropped to the 75th percentile for his weight. His head circumference is 46.5 cms, which is in the 75th percentile.

Ryan just recently started crawling all over the place using his hands and knees. He had been doing an army crawl for about 2 weeks now. Today was the first day that Ryan pulled himself up from a sitting to a standing position on his own. He loves to move around, look at and touch things around the house. We really can't leave him alone anymore. He stands up and walks around the living room, as long as both hands are holding on to some piece of furniture. He seems to be loving his mobile, carefree life!!!

Ryan is still eating about 4, 8 oz. bottles of formula a day and will eat baby food at least twice a day. He doesn't really have a favorite, but we know he hates peas! He has also been doing really well eating small things like cheerios, which dissolve quickly. It's so cute to watch him use his little pincher fingers to pick up each individual cheerio! He is sleeping through the night consistently. His bedtime is around 8:30pm and he usually wakes up anywhere between 8 and 9am.

Ryan has been so fun and enjoyable to watch. He's growing up so fast, it's hard to believe we will be planning a 1 year birthday party in about 2 months!
