Cooper's Cubbyhole: 9 Months

9 Months
Weight: Anxious to see at your check up tomorrow!
Diaper Size: 3
Clothing Size: 6-9 months
Things you love: The TV remote, Lily's water bowl, Sophie, Banana teether toy, Mommy, Daddy, Clapping your hands, standing up, your play table, looking out the window, waving
Thing you don't love: Getting your diaper changed, being laid down, getting in your car seat, separating from mommy, being told no
Eating: You nurse in the morning and then take three 6 ounce bottles during the day and one 4 ounce bottle before bed.  You continue to love real food.  Every morning you eat breakfast--usually a fruit puree and then some oatmeal, eggs, or cheese and some bite sized fruit.  You eat pieces of whatever we are having for dinner and you eat with me if we go out for lunch and you are doing well with eating a variety of textures and tastes in your food!
Milestones: Creeping on hands and knees (everywhere!).  Pulling to stand on everything and starting to take some steps around furniture.  Babbling more sounds.  Waving.  It also seems like you are getting your first tooth--we can feel something there, but you won't let us look
Memorable Moments: Your First Christmas.  Your first snow flurries on New Years Eve. Your babbling and waving.



Coop, what a wonderful December we had!  Sharing Christmas traditions with you made everything more fun, even if you don't understand them yet.  You give us such big smiles and laughs and are having so much fun trying to get our attention and show us what you can do.  You get frustrated when we won't let you get things, but you get it over pretty quickly. You are now on the go all the time and you are fast getting to where you want to go when you crawl.  You are enjoying life so much as you get to explore so many new things all the time and I love that you take me along for all of your adventures!
