Carson, you're 9 months old!
Weight/Height/Head Circumference:
You had your 9 month appointment with Dr. James on August 22, your 9 month b-day! You weigh 20 lbs. 13 oz., you are 29 1/2 inches long & your head is 46 1/2 cm. You're growing fast!
Clothing Size:
You are still wearing 6-9 months, and a size 3 in shoes, some 4s.
Diapers:
You moved up to size 4 diapers this month! (Pampers Cruisers)
Feeding:
You are still doing great on Similac Alimentum formula. You are down to drinking 4 oz. about every 3 hours during the day. You only drink from a sippy cup (with a straw) during the day, and you take a bottle at night. You rarely finish your bottle before bedtime, so I'm thinking we'll transition to a sippy at bedtime soon.
You still love baby food, puffs & creamies!
Hair/Eyes:
Your hair keeps growing & growing!!! Your eyes are still a bluish green color.
Sleeping:
You still nap in your swing during the day. Your naps are sometimes 30 minutes, sometimes 2 hours. I never know... :) You nap the best when we're in the car! You still go to sleep around 7:00 p.m., wake up around 5:30 a.m., & you usually go back to sleep until 7:00 after you've had a diaper change & a bottle.
Other stuff:
You finally said mama!!!
You started having major issues with staying in the nursery at church this month. You did great for 2 or 3 weeks, and then, bam, you wanted no part in it! :( makes me sad!
You took your first trip to the zoo!
You tried your first snow cone... it was really cold! :)
You finally learned to crawl out of your bath chair...so you now take baths in the big tub!
We started brushing your teeth this month.
