Here's some tidbits to share about Aiden at 9 months:
- Aiden started out this month with a very long trip to Sedona, AZ with Mommy, Grandpa Ruff, Grammy Ruff, and Uncle Andy. We attended Nick and Kelly's wedding and had soooo much fun. Aiden proved himself as a STAR traveler making lots of new friends and enjoying our adventures. He got to go hiking, swimming in the pool, and attended his first wedding.
- At nine months, Aiden weighs 15 pounds, 12 ounces (below 5th percentile) and is 27 inches long. (1oth percentile) Mommy and Daddy worry about his weight, but the doctor agrees that Aides is very little peanut:)
- Aiden loves his morning and afternoon nap...and so does Mommy. This the time that mommy races around the house doing laundry, cleaning up, trying to get short workouts in, and every once in awhile sneaks in a nap herself.
- After we returned from AZ, it took a couple weeks to get Aiden back into a better night sleep schedule (I blame it on the huge time difference and vacation life), but at the end of this month, Aiden is back to sleeping through the night for the most part. Thank goodness for a little more rest for Mommy, Daddy, and Aiden!!!!
- Aiden loves babbling-especially saying "Dada":) One of his favorite times to talk is when we walk the dogs in the morning. I often carry him in the Baby Bjorn and he points at trees and plants and talks to them...so funny:) We have to stop several times so we can feel the leaves!
- His baby hair is all gone and we now have a full head of blonde hair:) So cute!
- Aiden is SOOO active! He crawls all over the place, pulls up on everything, and can even stand on his own for several seconds. At his doctor's appointment, it took both Chris, the doctor, and me to wrestle him down to get his ears checked...the doctor hopes that both of us come everytime to help wrestle down our wiggly bug!
- We have our first tooth (And the second one just made an appearance in the tenth month)!
- Aiden loves making friends...he smiles at strangers and sometimes will wave hello or bye bye to people that we meet. He also loves to give Mommy and Daddy kisses: ) And now that we have teeth, Mommy is trying to teach him how to give slobbery kisses on the cheek, instead of those biting kisses.
- Aiden is a picky eater...his favorite foods are cottage cheese, kiwi, peaches, applesauce, pears, and baby mum mums. We are trying to get our little boy to like those veggies and with doctor's recommendation, lucky Aiden gets each serving with a big slab of butter. Yum, yum...just the way Mommy likes them too! Aiden's favorite part of mealtime is before and after when he can try to play in the fridge before the door shuts, bang pots together, and chase the puppies all over!
- We have graduated Aiden out of the baby bathtubs and into a real tub. He LOVES it...he crawls around, splashes, and has a crazy time in the water. Now if I can just find a spout cover so I don't have to worry about him banging his head every five seconds?
- Aiden loves to play-we go to the park, get together with friends, play in our crazy fun basement, swing outside, go on runs and walks, listen to silly music, read stories, run errands, and even attended our first library story time. We have so much fun together!
We love you, Aiden! Happy Nine Months:)
