Practicing for when he turns 1!
Casey James is 9 months old. Holy moly, that 1st birthday is right around the corner!
Pictures are getting harder and harder to take. He's totally mobile now and not interested in being still any longer than he has to.
He is full out army crawling EVERYWHERE (as Chloe would say) now. A few times a day, he will get up on his hands and knees and move a little bit, but then he goes right back down to crawling with his elbows and tummy on the ground. He's very efficient... a quick little bugger. We've had to evoke all kinds of crazy things to keep him quarantined, which he hates.
He is working on waving, but doesn't quite get it very often.
He likes to dance, when I sing, "Dance, dance, dance. Casey likes to dance." Super cute... one shoulder bop-type dancing.
He's sitting great, but prefers to be crawling around.
He loves splashing in wading pools or at the water table.
He communicates with us with "raspberries" and "ah-type screaming." He'll go back and forth mimicking with you.
He's pretty much still sleeping the same as last month. About 8:30 pm-6:30 am with a morning nap and afternoon nap. (The last 3 nights, he's gone down fine and then woke up about an hour after falling asleep crying. Any ideas?) He takes 4 bottles and alternates them with his meals, which he has 3 times a day. He really, really, really likes almost any food, especially banana yogurt. He also really likes his "dinner-type" meals... Chicken and Stars, Vegetable Beef Pilaf, Spaghetti and Cheese... those meals in a jar. He's tried more finger foods like Cheerios, cheese, green beans, apples, and sweet potato fries. He pretty much tries something new every day. He REALLY likes his puffs and his big sister does a great job feeding them to him (and sneaking some)!
He's got 6 teeth and has been pretty fussy so we're wondering if there are more coming.
Still loves his Jumperoo... he's gotta be getting to big soon. Someday it might flip on us. I hope he walks before he outgrows it or we're going to have to figure out another way for this child to get his "exercise" for the day. Otherwise he'll be crabby!
He weighs about 24 lbs and is wearing 18 month and some 24 month clothes. I think his growing has slowed a teeny bit. We will give you official updates after the doctor's appointment on Tuesday.
Happy 9 months, bud bud. We're having such a fun summer with you, little guy!
