9 months

Elijah Chase is 9 months old! I guess it's time to start planning his 1st birthday party! ;) Here's what the little turkey has been up to this month:

*Wears mostly 9mo, but can still get away with wearing his 6mo stuff. He's still wearing his 3-6 month shoes

*Officially in a size 3 diaper...the same size as Livy. ha! Sounds funny, but Sophia only got up to a size 3 before potty training and both girls were in a 3 by 9 months, so he's right on track . However, I believe Elijah will be our first child to need a size 4 eventually!

*Not sure weight/height...his 9mo well check is next week, so I'll update later...one day....hopefully...

*Still eats 4 six-ounce bottles of formula a day and a couple things of baby food. I was still getting concerned because he wouldn't eat his 2nd thing of baby food most days. He also still isn't a fan of Puffs, yogurt melts, those baby wheels, or anything with texture! He even cried when I tried to give him mashed potatoes & french fries! I think we may be turning a corner, though...he gummed on a french fry the other day without crying about it so maybe we're making progress.

*He loves to spin around while sitting on his bottom and has begun to army crawl to get where he wants. He's been getting up onto all fours and rocking a lot, but hasn't "officially" crawled yet.

*He is full of personality! He loves to shake his head no, clap, say "yeah!", give "fives", give mommy kisses, says "dada", "noo", and "yeah". He is so smiley and happy about 97% of the time.

*Still a good sleeper! In bed around 7 and gets up around 6:30-7:30 now that we can sleep in a little for summer!

*We've been traveling a bit this summer (Branson, Wynnewood, etc) and he has been SO agreeable! He's done the car rides like a champ and was so sweet about being in his stroller so much while in Branson. We were so proud about what a big boy he was on our trips!
