Miller- 9 months (6 months adjusted age)

Miller had his 9 month check-up on Wednesday.  He turns 9 months on the 22nd, so it was a bit early but we timed his check-up for when his RSV shot came in.  I did not want to make two trips to the pediatrician office by myself with both boys when I could get it all done in one visit.  Plus, we had the doctor check Declan's ears and for the first time in almost 2 months, his ears are clear!  Hallelujah!!!

I cannot believe that Miller is almost 9 months old!  Gosh, the time is flying.  He weighed in at 18 lbs 2 oz and was 27 inches long (50 % ile in everything).  He is right on track with his adjusted age (age from his due date), 6 months, and even hitting some 9 month milestones.

He has been rolling over both ways for a while now.  He is sitting up with little assistance.  He is getting up on all fours and rocking.

He is sleeping pretty well, in my opinion.  He usually goes to bed around 8:30 and sleeps about 11 hours.  He is taking one long nap during the early afternoon (about 1 and 1/2 hours) and two cat naps (around 30-45 minutes) mid-morning and around 6 pm.

Baby food has become a much loved thing for Miller.  He loves eating baby food.  His favorites are prunes, sweet potatoes, carrots, and pears.  He pretty much likes them all though.  Bananas are probably his least favorite but he will still eat them.  He is eating a full jar of fruit in the mornings, a full jar of veggies in the afternoon, and a little bit of rice cereal before bedtime.

He is still in size 3 diapers.  He is wearing mostly 9 month clothing and occasionally some 12 month size pieces.

His little personality is really coming out.  He is starting to get mad if Declan takes a toy away from him.  He is a little fiesty sometimes!  Most of the time, though, he is really calm and easy going.

Some things he loves are his exersaucer, his big brother, watching the Food Network with mommy, eating baby food, being held, and smiling!  Some things he doesn't love are being kept awake when he is sleepy, loud or startling noises, diaper changes, and when Declan takes a toy away from him.

And now some promised pictures!
