Reece is 9 months

Reece is 9 months old! It is crazy how fast these months have gone. I can't believe he used to be a little 7 pound squishy baby. 

Now he weighs 18 lbs 9 oz (29%) is 28.5 inches long (58%) and his head is 44.5 cm (35%). 

Reece wears 9 month clothes, a size 3 (sometimes 4) diaper and size 3 shoe (when he wears them). 

He has 4 teeth and is cutting 2 more on top. 

This little boy loves to eat. He still gets 2 bottles a day (one in the morning and one at night) and nurses about 3-4 times during the day. He loves almost any kind of food we've given him. Veggies are still his favorite and I would say squash is his favorite veggie. He found a love for Mac and cheese this month and hasn't been the same since. 😀 I think he is over purees and is only wanting to feed himself this week so we are experimenting with more finger foods. He tried taco soup tonight and loved it! I think his favorite snack would be the baby mum mums but he also loves the little crunchies and yogurt melts too. He loves drinking from a water bottle but can also use a sippy cup too. 

Sleep is still the enemy for Reece. He still wakes up once or twice a night and is up for good around 4:30 or 5 each morning. Ryan usually gets up with him and can get him to sleep with him on the couch. Reece still only takes 30 minute naps. I am so hoping this changes soon! 

Little man is SO busy. He is crawling, pulling up, cruising and standing alone. He likes to push his music table across the living room floor and if he thinks you aren't paying attention to him, he will go to the stairs. Reece can climb all the way to the top without missing a beat (only when we are behind him) and can pull down our gate to get to the stairs. He really started to push his cars and trucks on the floor and it makes me smile every time. It is just adorable! 

Reece also started to like being read to recently. He likes the lift the flap books and anything that makes noise. Surprise,surprise... He loves his sister and wants to be involved in whatever she is doing. He also loves to pull her hair 😉 

Reece you are such a sweet little boy and have such a fun personality. Infant wait to see what you get into next!
