Caleb- 9 months

-Weight: 16 lbs, 8oz (5th percentile)

 

-Length: 27.5" (about 25th percentile)

-Diapers: size 2

-Clothes: (same as last month)mainly 6-9 month clothes although the pants are too long. I've tried some of the 6-12 month size from GAP and Old Navy but they are super big!

- Sleeping:

Daytime: same as last month, morning naps are pretty irregular. If we are home, he will nap an hour to hour and a half. If we go out in the morning to Stroller Strides or to take Caiden to school, he will usually fall asleep in the car and take a shorter nap. He will usually take a decent nap in the afternoon, but I have yet to get him and Caiden on the same schedule :( Caleb is usually waking up just after Caiden goes down.

Nighttime sleep is still the same 6:30pm- 6am. He usually nurses once a night, but have had some rough nights lately.

-Eating: He's eating cereal with a fruit for breakfast, a fruit or vegetable for lunch and cereal with a vegetable and now a protein for dinner. New foods this month were yogurt, beets, cantaloupe, raspberry, lentils and wheat cereal. He is still nursing about 6 times a day as well.

New milestones:

• Two teeth!
• Crawling on hands and knees, usually carrying a toy
• Can pull up on something with a toy in his hand
• Can bend down to pick up the toy if he drops it
• Says da-da (not necessarily for Eric)
• First ear infection. Didn't know he had one, just found out at his 9 month check up today :(

Other notes:

 

• Always wants to stand
• Is not really showing stranger anxiety yet, but he is very stingy with his smiles for other people.
• he wants to be so independent! And is already very determined. He'll just crawl into Caiden's room, pull up on his table or workbench and start banging away.

As he's growing:

Big bro vs little bro:
