Liam is 9 Months Old!!!

9 Month Chair Picture

Trying to keep him from eating the bear. Notice I have given him a toy to distract him :-)

No more fangs... his two middle teeth came in. He now has 7 teeth, 4 on top and 3 on bottom

Distraction did not last long... keeping a 9 month old still for pictures is nearly impossible!!

I know I say this every month when I do these updates, but I can't believe how fast he is growing up!! He is becoming such a big boy! He is getting so much taller and thinning out so much! I don't know if he is actually losing any weight or just getting taller, but when I was looking back over some of his pictures from a few months ago I could not believe what a little chunk he was!! Not that he is not still chunky, but he is definitely getting much taller. He started sleeping in his own room last month, and now thanks to Nick's suggestion to put a fan in his room he is sleeping 12-13 hrs. EVERY night!!! He is sitting up on his own now and still rolling all over the place! He is "talking" up a storm and smiling and laughing all the time. He is such a good baby!! He has such an easy-going personality, every time we take him to the nursery at church they always say he is the best baby in there! Not to brag, but we already knew that :-)! He now has 7 teeth!! No more fangs. His favorite word is still "Dada" and he still has not said "Mama" yet! Maybe he doesn't have to ask for me because I am ALWAYS here?? Who knows...

He is officially on baby formula now. With him eating solid foods 3x a day and not nursing as often, I was only producing enough milk for him to nurse maybe once a day, so I went ahead a switched him over to formula. He is doing great with it and he even holds his own bottle. I am so thankful I was able to nurse as long as I did. I did not realize what an expense formula is. At least he is only taking 3 bottles a day! I can not imagine having to buy it when he was eating every three hours around the clock!! Usually after 12 months the Pediatrician will have him go off formula all together and go to whole milk instead. So, we only really have 3 months. Crazy!! Three months until my baby is ONE!!! I guess I better start the party planning. I hope I don't have a breakdown....
