He is finally eating a little more baby food. I know he doesn't eat as much as the typical 9 month old, but he now eats yogurt, pears, mangos, oatmeal (baby cereal), Cheerios, and his favorite, Gerber puffs. I really need to work on vegetables, but I mostly get a nasty face when I give him vegetables.
He has several new teeth (6 teeth in all have cut through).
We said goodbye to the indoor "baby" swing this month and hello to the outdoor swing, which he loves. He leans back, kick his feet, and relaxes!
Ian has begun to crawl! He is also pulling himself to standing and taking a few steps holding onto furniture. I have to watch him all the time as he is really into exploring now.
He has also learned to kiss. Or, he at least makes the smack noise if I make it to him. So, we blow kisses to each other. And, Ian has started babbling more--he now says mama, dada, gaga, and lots of squeals.
He had his 9 month old checkup today. It was a several hour ordeal as he had to have blood drawn for a routine CBC and iron check. We spent lots of time waiting, but he was very good. Poor thing he was poked so much today--TB skin test, 2nd dose of flu vaccine, Hep B vaccine, 1st attempt at blood in the arm, and finally got the blood from his finger.
He weighs 21 lbs. (75th percentile) and is 28 1/4 inches (50th percentile).
Here are some videos of him crawling.
