Weight & Length: Sawyer's weight stayed the same this month, 23 pounds. Since he is mobile I imagine he is burning a lot more calories. His length is about 30 inches.
Sleeping: His sleep is still very unpredictable. There have been nights where he has woken every 2 hours like a newborn and then there are other nights that he has only woken twice. I definitely think it has something to do with his teeth coming in.
Eating: He is still drinking mommy's milk every 2-5 hours. This month I made him chicken, blueberries, cantaloupe, cucumbers, pickles, asparagus, and white potatoes. He liked the pickles the most and the white potatoes the least.
Diapers: Size 3, getting a little snug....but I think he will continue to wear them a while longer.
Clothing: Packed up all his 6-9 clothes and he is only wearing his 9-12 month outfits.
Hair: Getting long, trimmed around his ears again. It amazes me how different he looks with hair compared to his pictures before when he just had a little fuzz.
Eyes: Medium blue
Personality: He loves my keys and he loves straws. He will steal your drink straw in a hurry. He enjoys this warm weather and getting to be outside more. He is beginning to play more with his toys. This month he has been more clingy and there have been a few times that he has cried when someone besides his mommy or daddy was holding him. He usually just goes with the flow, but I guess he has been spoiled since I have been home with him all summer.....however I have read that at 9 months babies separation anxiety begins to peak. He also tends to like women over men. He will smile and talk to women at the stores, but isn't crazy over some men. He is getting into everything, crawling, climbing, etc.
Milestones:
- 2 Teeth!! He has the two front bottom teeth...oh the joys of teething
- Talking more, squealing more, many people have commented that he is more vocal than before
- Standing by himself for longer periods of time
- Understands when we say "come here"
Firsts: Sawyer was dedicated this month. We also celebrated our first Father's Day. We made daddy a picture and got him a few other gifts. Sawyer went to his first indoor play area. We also attempted a movie with Sarah and Sophie, but the movie was boring, luckily it was only a dollar. The babies did good, the mommies just got bored with the lame movie. Sawyer celebrated his first 4th of July cooking out with family. Then we went to see fireworks the next day. Sawyer took his first vacation to Charleston, SC and enjoyed time at the beach and the aquarium. He loved both of them! I will try to post a blog about our trip soon.
Adventures this month: Sawyer and his daddy went with me to The Color Run, a 5k for American Cancer Society. It was so much fun! We have also been enjoying the pool and working in the garden.
