9 Months!

Tomorrow Max is 9 months old!

He is finally getting some teeth. In fact, all four front teeth are coming in at once. No wonder the kid won't sleep. Hopefully the poor baby will be able to get some sleep soon after they all come through. (And then mama can get some sleep too...)

Thanks to his hearty appetite, he gained almost 3 pounds in 3 months - going from the 15th percentile to the 25th in weight and now weighing in at a whopping 18.2 pounds and 27 1/2 inches long. And once again he had three needle pokes and didn't cry. But then cried and screamed all the way home because he didn't want to be strapped into his car seat. Crazy kid.

He has a new trick, which is climing up the entire flight of stairs to our bedroom. He is quite a daredevil. He learned how to do it really quickly! Literally one day he was inching his way up one or two stairs and the next he climbed the whole flight. I sound like an overly-proud mama bear. : )

Happy 9-month birthday kiddo! You have now been out in the world as long as you were in my belly.
