9 Months!

Yesterday was Sawyer's 9 month birthday! Seriously?!? How has he gotten so big so fast? 

9 month stats & facts:

* Weight: 19 lbs 14 oz
* Length: 27 3/4 in. 
* Wearing 9 month clothes 
* Wearing size 3 diapers
* Bottles: 7 am (8 oz), 1 pm (8 oz), and 7:30 pm (8 oz)
* Naps: He usually sleeps a total of 3-4 hours during the day
* Nighttime sleep: Sawyer goes to bed around 8 pm and sleeps until 6:30 or 7 am.
* Breakfast: He has baby oatmeal and a jar fruit, applesauce, or yogurt (8:30 am)
* Lunch, He has rice cereal and a jar veggie (11:30 am)
* Dinner, He has rice cereal and a jar veggie or chicken dinner, or diced table food (5:30 or 6 pm)
* Table food: Sawyer has started eating smashed bananas, avocado, sweet potatoes, lima beans, green beans, diced carrots, diced pears and peaches, and tiny bits of chicken. He usually has these in place of jar food for dinner. He has also had tiny bites of bready food, like pizza crust, bread, and pancakes. The boy loves to eat! He will pretty much eat whatever we put in front of him.
* Snacks: Gerber puffs, Baby Mum Mums, yogurt melts, diced fruit, plain Cheerios
* Sippy Cup: We have introduced Sawyer to the cup. He mostly chews on it and plays with it, but when we hold it for him to drink, he will. He is definitely getting better at it!
* Sawyer has 8 teeth! 4 on the bottom and 4 on the top! He seems to be chewing on anything and everything lately...might be working on more teeth!
* Really trying hard to crawl!! He will scoot, flip, roll, or lunge forward to get whatever he wants, esp. cell phones and remote controls!
* He loves playing on the floor and bed. He will play in the exersaucer or johnny jump up for shorter amounts of time, he doesn't want to be confined. 
* Sawyer still sucks his index and middle fingers on his right hand, esp. when he is tired! He loves his lovies. He usually only has them in his crib, but sometimes he hangs on to it while being lifted out of the crib. 
* Speaking of the crib, we have lowered it down one level. We still have one to go, and I'm sure it won't be long before he is pulling up! As of now, he will stand holding on to the edge, but can't  pull himself up yet.  

Speaking of my big boy... his first birthday will be here before we know it! I have already started the wheels churning on ideas for his party. We are planning a small party with immediate family and close friends.
