Baker is 9 Months Old!






* Baker weighs 17.4 lbs (10th percentile) and is 28 inches long (50th percentile).
* He wears size 6-9 month clothes, and he wears one size cloth diapers and size 3/4 disposable diapers. 
*He's now a great napper! He will take 1-3 naps a day, and it's been so nice to (mostly) get him to nap at the same time the big boys do in the afternoon. He naps in his pack and play. 
*Night time sleep is a completely different story. He doesn't sleep well at night. He wakes up 2-5 times a night. It's gotten slightly better in the past week, so I'm hoping and praying that we'll get back to a better sleep schedule!
* He's a great nurser and he loves it!
*He is rotten to the core. He is so spoiled by me! He fusses as soon as he sees me and generally doesn't want anyone else to do anything with him . *He's taking a bottle like a champ now! He'll take anywhere from 4-7 ounces at a time while I'm gone. He does start crying and fussing as soon as he sees me when I come home, though. 
*He loves to clap! He really enjoys it when I do "pat a cake"
*He's started drinking water. He loves to drink it out of my cup, and has started drinking it out of a sippy cup. *His eyes go back and forth from being blue/gray to more of a green/hazel. 
*He's our little ginger, which I just love! My strawberry blond baby. 
*Food:his current favorite seems to be bananas. He also likes green smoothies, spaghetti, and most everything else. He doesn't eat a ton, but he likes what he eats!
 *He is sooooo close to crawling! He'll get up on all fours and rock or start to stretch out towards something, and then ends up laying on his belly. He's also pulling up  now and finally sitting himself up from a laying down position. 
*He has 6 teeth! 4 on top and 2 on bottom. 
*He loves to play with any toys that the bigger boys bring him.
*He says "mama" and "dada", although "dada" does not get said nearly as often.
*He is ticklish! He laughs so hard when I tickle him! I love seeing the dimple on his cheek pop out when he is smiling big.
*He is so rotten! He loves to be held and lets you know (very loudly) that he doesn't like it when he gets put down. 
*He loves bath time! He loves to kick and splash.
* The older boys are still madly in love with him! They are always kissing on him and petting him. They want to sit right beside him all the time. it's so very sweet. 
* Nicknames: Baker Baby, Bubby, Baby, Baker Boo Bear
