charlie is a crazy 9 months old! at our appointment this morning he weighed in at 20 lbs and 1 oz (44th percentile) and is 28.5 inches long (61st percentile). his head is still in the 93rd percentile!
here is the classic charlie and lily picture.
it is quite challenging to keep charlie sitting for long enough to snap a cute photo so we took a standing photo too.
here is the list of the things charlie is currently up to....*he is crawling really fast and pulling himself to standing on anything he runs into.
*he walks while pushing anything (ie: cat truck, box, etc) and walks around using furniture.
*charlie can stand alone for awhile, but when he attempts to take a step will try to reach out to catch something or use a hand to help him walk so he doesn't get very far.
*continues to eat enormous amounts (ie: 3-4 "meals" with 2-3 snacks and buckets of cheerios).
*i have weaned him down to nursing only 4-5 times per day.
*he is improving his sleep habits and now sleeps pretty consistently until around 5am, eats and then goes back to sleep for 1 hour (i am working on getting him to sleep until later than 6 am, but he just wants to start the daytime party. i, on the other hand, just try to pull it together and drink extra coffee!)
*he does "sooo big", waves (sort of - it is more of a point or thrusting a fist), claps
*he is a blast. he is happy, squealing, babbling, fun loving baby.
*we have started to play hide and seek and it is adorable to watch him crawl around trying to find us.
*charlie loves flipping the door stoppers, vent registers, and playing his glockenspiel.
*continues to love when daddy gets home. when i know bill is coming home i whisper "charlie...guess who is coming home???... your daddy!!!!" he gets a huge smile on his face and starts squealing. then we start our daddy fight song and he just marches by the top of the stairs until bill picks him up. i love it!
*he laughs at his own farts.
*he doesn't have stranger anxiety, but stranger distrust. he refuses to smile until after touching a new person's nose. he is therefore often described by nursery workers as a "serious baby".
*continues to love bath time and splashes up a storm.
*he got his first mole! it is on the back of his left calf.
