A lot has happened in this past month! Landon is still trying new table foods and so far everything has been yummy! He has 7 teeth and the 8th is on it's way. We can see it through the gums, it just needs to break through (ouch!). He 'gets' the whole sippy cup thing, but isn't quite drinking out of it. We tried a cup with a straw and he definitely gets that and can drink successfully. Landon continues to crawl like an inch-worm, even in the bathtub, (it is just so cute), and now has discovered how to pull himself up and stand holding on to the chair, table or ottoman. This happened very quickly and 2 weeks later he does it like a pro. He is not ready or willing to take a step without holding on, but does let go to see what happens. Boom - on his butt! It's really cool to see him explore his 'new world'. He wants to pull up on anything and everything, including scaling dressers and walls. This is making Mommy's get-ready time in the morning an exciting challenge...I think I'll start waking up earlier. Oh, and he had his first haircut on Christmas Eve. Me-Ma cut some of the longer hair in the back. He looks more polished now. :)
We went to see Dr. Terry today for his 9-month appointment and all is well! He weighed in at 22 pounds and 13 ounces (80th percentile) and is 28.5 inches long (50th percentile). Dr. Terry says that he looks great, is healthy and of course VERY SOCIAL! (If you have met Landon, I'm sure you agree).
So we are looking forward to experiencing life with a 9-month old - so much fun! We love you, Buddy!
