9 Months

My little guy is 9 months today! He is getting very tall. The appointment at the doctor's went great. Jojo was hesitant to "talk" to Dr. Garcia though. I am fairly certain he remembers getting shots last time we were there. Plus the doctor looked in his mouth - he hates that. Jojo will clamp his mouth shut if you try to look in there which makes getting things he is not supposed to have in his mouth that much harder to get out!

What Jojo is up to:

Is 29.5 inches long (kid grew 1.5 inches in 3 months)

19 lbs 4oz

46 cm head circumference

Eating tons of food (pretty much anything except bananas)

Picking up things (usually food)

Trying to feed himself

Cruising using our furniture but not walking yet

Shrieking loudly for attention

Playing lots with Daddy

Said "Jojo"

Only getting up once a night (unless we have a bad night because of teeth or sickness)

Friendly

Making all kinds of noises with his tongue (clicking and so on)

Taking 2 naps a day

Pinching

Jojo has grown so much in the last month. He is getting so long that his onsies are getting short now. He wants to eat whatever I am eating so my lunch is normally shared. Dinner however, he eats his own meat and veggies. He loves fruit in the morning. Kid can also eat an astonishing amount of Cheerios. He still only has the two teeth on the bottom but has been teething again. So hopefully the next few don't take 6 weeks to emerge.

I love watching him interact with everything now. He is very curious and loves to explore our house. If I put on the Muppet show, he will stop to watch it. He is his father's son. He really likes to play outside and there have been several afternoons where I will take out a large plastic bowl of water and some shallow baking sheets and let the kid go nuts on our patio.
