Alex was very healthy at his check-up. He did not like Dr. Parra holding him down as he is on the go now, wanting his freedom all the time. But he made it through the appointment.
He weighs 14 lbs 6 oz and is 25" long (way under the 0% scale). Evan was 26 1/2" at his 9 month check-up, so Alex is a good inch shorter than Evan was at this time. He is more than making up for his short stature in his mobility skills. At 8 1/2 months old, he sat up by himself, army crawled, and then pulled to stand at his baby gate.
Alex can hold his own bottle and does not like to be held for any length of time. He knows what he wants and is ready to go after it all the time. Evan still likes to pull his hair hard and poke him in the eyes so we keep them separated a lot with limited interaction.
At 9 months old Alex
- wears a size 2 diaper
- drinks about 5 bottles a day (3 to 5 oz of formula)
- eats 3 meals (oatmeal with fruit, meat, veggie with rice - so far he's not picky)
- holds his own bottle
- army crawls and gets up on knees often
- pulls up on his knees and feet
- loves his pacifiers, balls and books
- likes to hold toys with his feet
- is very vocal and can say lots of sounds like mama, dada, baba, hi, gaga and more
- can patty cake when you ask him to
- swaps toys from hand to hand often
- likes Mickey Mouse on TV, just like big brother
- wears size 6 months clothes
- has fast growing hair like Evan, but it's very blond
- giggles and laughs at Evan all the time
- fights sleep
Happy 9 months to Alex!
