Wow how time flies! Caleb is already 9 months old! At the time of his 9 month Dr. appointment Caleb was able to take one unassited step. Now he's taking about 5-6 steps all by himself. He's ready to walk... just likes cruising a little bit better! Caleb has leveled off with his height and weight- His 9 month stats
Height- 29 inches- 75%
Weight- 19lb 15oz.- 50% (I think he weighs so little because he doesn't like to eat!)
Caleb still isn't consistently sleeping through the night. Right now it's about 50/50. He uses his blankie to put himself back to sleep (his blanket is as important to him as Devyn's pacifer is to her!) and you can tell when he's tired by him scratching his head! Caleb is also loving Beans and Brutus and Buckeye. He pets Beans and he tries to ride on top of him. He just chases Brutus and Buckeye, only to pull their hair or tails if he catches them! Music is definitely Caleb's favorite thing right now. He loves anything that makes music or loud noises. It's amazing how much Devyn and Caleb are playing together. I love watching them. Caleb really loves his sister. He tries to follow her around and he's always looking to see what she's doing. He smiles when he goes to wake her from her afternoon naps. He's really becoming his own little person!
He knows how to turn on the music so he can dance!
Hey, where's everyone going?
He's been attempting to feed himself.... doesn't happen very often because I don't have time to clean his gigantic mess!
But he thinks it's great! :)
Watch out... no one's getting by me!
Clapping along to "if you're happy and you know it!"
Let's see.... do I have everything in my shopping cart??
Looks like it's all there.... now where to go?
Time to unload the cart!
Bath Time! Caleb LOVES bath time. He loves the water coming out of the facet and playing with all the toys. He NEVER sits still and he makes it almost impossible to get him clean!
Devyn got this tent for Christmas and Caleb loves to go in it and knock it over!
Caleb's gift from Santa. He plays with this toy more than anything. Thinks it's great to go through the little door!
Oh yes, he's trying to open cabinets! Love this stage... into EVERYTHING
Please mommy, let me in
He loves cruising around with this chair. It's his favorite mode of transportation
Just looking extra cute in is OSU stuff!
Looking at the snow
getting better at feeding himself!
Helping mommy wash dishes!
Taking her dolls down the slide
We made the transition to the big girl bed! This DID NOT go well. It took several months (since I'm writing this 6 months late!) for her to get used to her big girl bed and to stay in it all night. We had to put a child handle on the inside so she couldn't get out and come sneaking into our bed at night!! Brandon and I spent several nights on her floor, she spent many nights on a mattress on our floor and we all spend many sleepless nights crammed into a bed together. Finally 6 months later, I think she's comfortable! It's very rare for her to get out of bed now :) One huge Blessing!!
So cute in her bed! Still with the paci... maybe at 3 it will be gone??
In her new jammies she got from her Nana Walker for Christmas, complete with headband and slippers! :) She's also got her new baby doll from Grandma Finley.
