9 Months Old

December 28th was Graham's 9-month birthday...hard to believe. I'm afraid to blink b/c I know when my eyes open, by baby will be turning 1. Here's an update:
  1. Big news - we have a crawler (see videos below)!! We've been working on it for awhile but G has preferred to roll...until last night when he decided he really wanted Nate's iPad.
  2. Graham still loves to eat! He as mastered feeding himself puffs, yogurt melts and Gerber cheetos. We just switched to feeding him three solid meals a day - fruit/cereal in the morning, a veggie for lunch and then "big people" food in the evening. So far we've tried mac and cheese, toast, scrambled eggs and cheese...Graham is a big fan of breakfast (def our kiddo)!
  3. Graham is very vocal...he babbles constantly, adding new sounds all the time. He's been saying mama, dada, gaa, baba, naanaa, paa, uh (working on uh-oh but can't quite get the two sounds together), etc. 
  4. We're working on sign language, focusing on "more," "eat," and "all done." Graham has signed "more" a few times but it could just be a coincidence?
  5. Graham is a busy-body...with the exception of his morning bottle, he won't lay still for anything.
  6. A few updates that happened just this weekend - we got new car seats b/c Graham is outgrowing his infant carrier, we dropped his crib down to the lowest setting and I took the pad off of his changing table turning it into just a dresser now. (Fact - it sounds crazy but this was kind of a lot for a mama to handle in one weekend...too big, too fast.)
  7. We had Graham's 9-month well baby visit on January 2nd - the doctor said he looks perfect! She also said, after seeing how active he is, that we're going to have a climber on our hands. Great! :)
