Nate Jake, Peanut, Nater Potater is 9 months old

Can you believe it? Seriously! It has flown by so fast and I have enjoyed every minute of my little boy. He is getting such a great personality. So also today was his 9 months check up. Thank goodness no shots! Here are his latest stats:

Weight 19 lbs 11.75 ounces (25-50%)
Height 29 1/4 (50-75%)
Hanna Head 48 cm (95%)

Here is his stats from October 29th so you can see how much he has grown:
Weight 16 lbs 6 ounces (25-50%)
Height 27 (75%)
Hanna Head 46 cm (90%)

So the best news is that we get to take him off his acid reflux medication. We will see how he does and any signs of it coming back then we put him back on. But he has pretty much outgrown it because we never increased his dosage and he has gained so much weight.

So also today we visited Nate's Great Grandparents. While we were there he grabbed a shortbread cookie out of my hand. My grandmother said lets watch and see what he does. Um yeah he ate almost the whole cookie! He loved it. So I went to Target tonight to get him stage 3 food and some finger food. He loves biter biscuits! The stage 3 food--not so much. He gagged at every bite. He hates the texture. I am not sure what to do because the dr said this might happen since he has never moved up in bottle nipple size. He said he would out grow it. Wonder what I feed him that he won't gag on? He has been such a great eater I hope things don't change.

So many new things...

Wow this past week has been so many new things.

Well we had a week of fussy, messy diapers, not eating, fever, runny nose...all due to this little tooth on the bottom that wants to pop. Finally we got a breakthrough 1/22/09 but not a whole lot. Still get fussy at times and Motrin is such a painreliever! Hopefully the next tooth won't be as bad.?!?

On Sunday 1/25/09 at Gammy and Papa's house Nate sat up on his own from the lay down position. Every time he does it he claps his hand and smiles. It is too precious! Now he does it in the crib and plays instead of sleeping.

Then on Tues Jan 27th, I was talking on the phone with Brad and Nate just so happened to pull up on his own! I couldn't believe my eyes! I ran and got the camera and took too many shots. Now I have to figure out how to download photos to the blog to show you. Now I am waiting for him to do it again today.

We are not crawling YET. I say yet because we are rocking back and forth and doing just a little things going backwards. We are so close.

We are now repeating things. I say La la la and he will say it back. So cool!

We go on Thursday (9 months) to the dr for his stats! I will let you all know the latest!

It is about time I did this

OK so I thought it was about time I started a blog for Nate because he is growing up so fast and I need to write down everything.

We almost have a crawler. This past week we got up on all four's and started rocking back and forth. I have been wanting this day to happen but then I don't. I am so use to working without him being so mobile. He is rolling to get to everything.

Nate he is now repeating what you say. He will say Lalalalala, mamammama, dadadadada. Let's not forget the high pitch screaming.
