9 Months Old

Can I freeze this age? I love it. Ty is so much fun. I feel like he does something new everyday. Let see, He is saying mama, dada, baba, and I think gamma all the time. He is eating any kind of people food except for seafood since grandaddy is allergic to it, oh yeah and nothing with peanuts. He loves chicken and grits! He can eat a whole pack of them. He also like Cheeze Doodles, messy but funny to watch him eat. He is starting to pick small pieces of food up and feed himself. Still no crawling, but we have seen him trying more. He has started to pull his knees to him instead of throwing his feet in the air and screaming causes he cant go anywhere. I am so eager for him to crawl, but still happy to know he will be in the same place that I put him. He also has not pulled himself up or is able to go from a lying down position to a sittoing up position. I think because his ears have been so messed up and his balance has been off, it has slowed him down on these things. Moving to ears, He has now been on antobiotics since July 7th for ear infections. I do not like this at all. We are now going to see the ENT for tubes. I do not have an appointment yet, but hope to hear back next week some time. I am a little nervous about this. I know it is a routine procedure but ever since he has been in NICU, nothing is easy for me. Everything makes me sit on edge a little. I am so hopeful that it will cure these ear infections. We now have 5 teeth with 2 more coming in. I believe we will be seeing some molars soon. He is chewing at the back alot.

Here are his stats:

Height: 29 1/4 inches 80th%

Weight: 21lbs 13ozs 75%

Head: 18 3/4 inches 95%

Ty LOVES to talk on the phone. He knows the difference when it is a real phone and a toy. He likes for someone to talk to him on it so we call grandma alot. He thinks it is funny to hear someone on the other end. He still likes to clap. If you say "yeaaahhhh" he will clap real big. It is so sweet. His new thing that he has started to doing at EVERY diaper change is rolling over while I am changing him. He really likes to do it when I am right in the middle of a stinky. Good Grief. When we go anywhere, someone ALWAYS says to me, "he has the prettiest blue eyes". I must agree, I think he does too. Here are his 9 month pics. He is such a ham.

This was his attitude for the most part while he was getting his pics taken. He was not being cooperative at all. I do love this pic though. I have it in black and white.

Here is Ty's new smile. He squints his eyes and grins real big so his teeth show. It was funny at first, but now that is all he will do.
