Ty at 9 Months

9 months old!

It has been a big month for Ty. After weeks of "almost" crawling, he finally got it. Now, he is everywhere! He crawls with a purpose- to get a toy or pull up on something. While he is not an expert at it, he can pull up to stand. I can't believe how fast my baby is growing!

Speaking of growing, he is a BIG boy!
Height: 30.25" (95%), Weight: 21 lbs, 12 oz (70%).

Ty loves to play games...he will crawl behind the sofa or doorway and stick his head out to play peek-a-boo. He claps and "arm dances" to songs. He likes to steal toys from his big brother (who is not always so accomodating). haha :)

Peek-a-boo!

He continues to sleep 11-12 hours at night and take two 1-2 hour naps per day. Over the course of this month, FOUR more teeth broke through (for a total of 8). He handled it like a champ!

As far as eating habits, Ty consumes 5-6 jars of baby food and drinks ~24-30 ounces of formula daily. We added a few finger foods this month- baby puffs, lil' crunchies, goldfish, cheerios, etc. We introduced his sippy cup a couple of months ago, but he is starting to drink out of it more regularly now.

Ty is doing great in his swim class. He can hold his breath under water, flip himself over, and come up to float. It is amazing!

We can't wait to see what next month brings!
