Today Austin is 9 months old. I can't believe how much progress a little new person makes in 9 whole months!! Austin doesn't even seem like a baby anymore, he has developed into a littel boy. I am enjoying him, and he is so much fun. He really is all boy. He loves to rough house with daddy he likes boy things, and I can tell he is going to have a blast with sports (Daddy will make sure of that.)
He has been through many changes. He is cruising everywhere, constantly on the move. As soon as we set him down, he is off. He loves to crawl over to the television, and pull himslef up to it and push the buttons. We try to not let him, but that is ALWAYS where he goes. He started to eat finger foods. He loved the Gerber Puffs. He would eat those all day if I would let him. At first he didn't understand what to do with them, but he gets it now.
He went to the Doctor today for his well check up. The nurse was so sweet, and Austin reached out to give her a hug! The Doctor was great, and talked with us for a while. She wants to see him eating more level 3 gerber foods and gave us the ok to give him more solid foods slowly. She said he looks great, and was very pleased with his development. I am still so glad we switched Doctors!! He weighed 20lbs, 29 1/2 in long and his head was the perfect size. He was average for everything accept height, he was above for that. We have to get some bloodwork done soon, but don't need to go back until 12 months!! No shots, that was great :) She said to not pick Austin up at night when he starts to cry, as long as he isn't sick or crying for a reason other than he wants to be held. Seems to be working great. That and we gave him a glow worm to sleep with at night. It really soothes him. He went to sleep tonight without making a peep!!
