Dear Benjamin,
You are NINE months old! This month you continued to be on the move. You are a busy boy! We are baby-proofing the house, but everyday you seem to show me one more thing that needs to be secured. You might be busy, but you are happy and content, which makes you very fun to be with!
After a whole lot of drooling, you finally got your first teeth. But, in true Benjamin-style, you didn't get the typical little adorable bottom teeth. Nope, you cut your 2 big 'ole front teeth. They are adorably huge and I LOVE when you flash your sweet smile at me!
You continue to like baby food, and I'm starting to fear that you'll never eat anything else. You'll eat little rice puffs, but really aren't interested in other "big people" food. I gave you a teeny tiny piece of pasta the other day and you gagged and hacked and acted like I was trying to hurt you. So, we continue on with a steady diet of pureed fruits and veggies. Yum.
You had your 9-month check up, and as we expected, you are perfectly healthy. You are 28 3/8 inches tall, and you weigh 19lbs 5oz. You're in the 70th percentile for height, and 35th percentile for weight. Which raises the question, how fat are the 90th percentile babies...cause you're no small thing? (no offense to the big fat babies...I've had a few big babies myself.)
When you aren't on the move, you are also a big time snuggle bug! You get shy when new people talk to you, and I love the way you lay your head on my shoulder and snuggle in. You've also recently started saying mama and dada. Not necessarily talking to us, but you'll get there soon.
One of your favorite things is bath time. You are a bath fanatic! Whenever you see the bathtub, you crawl as fast as you can to it, and try to climb in. Once we put you in, you spend the entire time slapping the water, splashing it all over, and laughing about it.
It continues to be our joy to watch you grow. We love you sweet boy and are blessed by you everyday!
love,
mommy
