Sweet 9 Months

This is such a fun stage! Michael is so sweet and learning new things everyday. He's finally learned to crawl and is on the move constantly. We're baby proofing in stages--which may not be the best way to do things. He hasn't gotten into much but does try and pull up on the floor lamp quite often.
At 9 months:
Weighs 22.10lbs (75%). It's unbelievable that there's another 25% of kids out there
chunkier than him.
Is only 35% for height. I've misplaced his info but I remember that percentage.
Short and chunky love
Eats anything given to him. He's had hummus, edamame, ravioli, pizza, grapes,
meatloaf, okra, cheese, yogurt. He seriously hasn't turned down anything. The kid
loves to eat.
Is taking 24oz of formula daily.
Loves bath time.
Loves Bella and Rocky. He just lets them lick all over him. They clean his hands after
he eats and the food off the floor. Sounds awful, but what are we going to do about it? might as well embrace it? I kinda feel sorry for people without inside dogs.
They actually have to clean up food after their children :)
Can pull to stand and is starting to do some transfers. Can cruise just a little bit.
We've been having a lot of trouble out of his ears. He's tried 4 different antibiotics
and personally, I don't think they've ever cleared up. I spoke with an ENT at
Le Bonheur 2wks ago and she encouraged me to go ahead and have him
evaluated for tubes.
We met Dr. Thompson last Tuesday and had tubes placed today. Michael did really
well and the actual procedure took 6 minutes. He'll wear ear plugs for every bath
and if he goes swimming. And get drops for 5 days. That's it. Hopefully, this
will solve all of his problems.
We celebrated Ali Clare's first birthday last weekend in Jackson at her house. The
babies had a lot of fun playing together, and sweet baby Noah came too.


William held Noah and they were so sweet together. Noah just stared at him and
William was really calm and gentle with him.
William, Michael, and I stayed at Nonna and Grandaddy's house Saturday night.
William was reading to Michael. So sweet.

Getting to know the dogs

We went down to Oxford a couple of weeks ago for the day. Went to Ajax for lunch.
Michael had Mac n cheese, meatloaf, and okra

It's been 1.5hr since his surgery, and you would never know he had anything done. Guess I could've gone to work after all.....nah-don't think so ;)
