Sullivan is 9 Months Old!

* Sullivan weighs about 18 pounds, 6 oz, is 27 inches long, and has a head circumference of 17.5 inches (25th percentile).
* He wears size 6-9/6-12 month clothes, and he wears one-size cloth diapers (size 3 in disposables)
*He is crawling everywhere! He will either crawl in the traditional sense, or he will drag one leg behind him, just like Fisher did.
*He is pulling up on everything and has learned to climb the stairs, although he's never gone higher that the first step.
*He loves to hold onto things and puts everything in his mouth!
 * He nurses every 2-3 hours. When he takes a bottle, he'll drink 4-5 ounces.
*New foods include black beans, ham, turkey, chicken. Really, he eats whatever we're having, and he loves it all!
*He will occasionally drink water out of a sippy cup, but only if someone holds it up to his mouth. Otherwise, he just chews on it.
*He loves taking baths! He is constantly splashing in the water!!
*He is definitely a momma's boy! He hates it when I leave the room, and he usually wants me over anyone else.
* Sleep: not doing so well in this department! He is still a terrible sleeper. He wakes up every 2-4 hours. He's started to transition to one longer nap of around 2 hours, which is nice for me because now both boys nap at the same time!
*He loves to sleep on his stomach or side. As soon as I lay him down, he flips over.
*He has four teeth (2 on top and 2 on bottom) and is working on getting two more top teeth in.
*He smiles and talks all the time-he is the happiest baby! He loves to laugh and giggle.
*He is ticklish. Anytime I poke him in his armpits or on his tummy, he laughs.
*His eyes are constantly changing color-they will be blue/gray, then hazel depending on lighting and his outfit.
*He is a chatterbox! He talks all of the time. He will say "dadada", but not in reference to Daddy. :)
* He is loved by his big brother, and the feeling is mutual. Sullivan lights up and just grins when Fisher is around. They sit across from each other at the dinner table, and Sullivan is constantly smiling and talking to Fisher. The first thing Fisher does in the morning is run to Sullivan and give him a hug and a kiss.
