Sorry the picture is a little blurry...I just wanted to make sure I put up a picture from today. I will upload more later for the next post!
Today we had Joey's 9 month check up. Our big boy weighed in at 25lbs, 14ozs and has grown to 30 1/2 inches long! He is completely off the percentile charts for both height and weight, but his Dr said that he is nice and healthy. I had to laugh this morning when I was undressing him for the nurse to weigh him...she took one look at him and said, "Oh, wow...he is big!" LOL, that's my boy!! It was an easy appt since he was all up to date on his shots, so we were in and out.
Joey has started playing with Bubba a lot lately, and it is really cute. He throws his ball to him, takes his bones away and gets into the water and food bowls pretty much everyday (not so cute). He has been waking up really happy in the morning, and immediately starts jumping in his crib...and peering out the door for Joe and I to get up :)
It seems like everyday he learns something new, and he really is so much fun! He likes to mimic every sound we make, and has recently learned that he can scrunch up his face and make a little pig sound! He crawls like crazy all over the place up on his hands and knees...waves "Hi" and sometimes will blow a kiss to you. He has been doing this thing that I think is a kiss, but Joe isn't so sure. He comes at us with a huge open mouth and puts his lips up against our faces. I think it is a kiss, but Joe thinks he is trying to eat us! Either way, it is adorable. Haha! :)
He eats like a champ, and we haven't really found anything that he doesn't like. We are introducing him to more real solid foods, and so far he seems to really like: blueberry pancakes, scrambled eggs, goulash, chicken, and little pieces of fruit/veggies.
I have been trying to get into a better bedtime routine for him that includes reading, but he doesn't want to sit still long enough to look at the book/or hear a short story. So, I have been reading to him while he plays during the day and just lately I have been catching him looking at the book while I read! It is exciting :) Maybe I will try a book again tonight before bed...who knows!
Anyways, that is all for now. Just wanted to update on Joey! :)
