9 months...and a bit more

Friday, March 26, 2010

While we were in California Jonah turned 9 months old. Since packing space is always limited we opted to leave Green Monkey here at home and just take his picture with Jonah when we returned. Jonahs stats were updated at a doctors appointment just before we left on our vacation. Everything is all wonky and out of order this month! This is the basic jist though. Jonah weighs 22lbs (the 75th-ish percentile) and is 30 inches long (the 95th percentile). The doctor is pleased with all of his developmental markers. Jonah showed off his I'll-throw-this-down-you-get-it skills as well as his squealing volume and his contortionist abilities while in the doctors office. Jonah is still not sleeping through the night (getting up twice to feed) but Dr. Phillips is not concerned about that at all. He merely encouraged us that when we are ready to train him to sleep better it's just gonna suck. Well, maybe not in those words, but he is pretty darn honest! No shots this time (yeah!!) so we left with no crying of any sort. That's about all you can ask for I guess!

Andrew had to take Jonah's 9 month picture before he left for work in the morning so Jonah is still half asleep. He doesn't seem too thrilled about the timing, but what can you do!

Ps...the day before yesterday (the 24th) Jonah learned how to go from his stomach up to a sitting position by himself! Now he does it all the time, like it's old hat or something! Andrew even found him sitting up in bed this morning!

He still looks so cute even when he is sleepy. We miss you little man. Congrats on the sitting up.

Way to go with the sitting up, guy! Sure would love to snuggle you right now!

Oh wow! Once Noah learned how to sit up by himself, it's like the whole world opened up for him. Crawling and cruising followed VERY quickly...as well as NOT taking naps because I could sit up in my crib. Fun!!!!

I think it is weird how one day they can't do something to the next day they can. Even when they wake up from naps sometimes it seems like a whole new baby.
