9 Month Appointment

Michael had his 9 month well-baby visit, and the doctor said he's pretty advanced for his age. He is developing a better memory. When we hide his toys, he's able to remember where we put them and he'll go searching. He loves playing with things that spin -- car wheels, stroller wheels and the toy helicopter rotor blades. He also likes passing games where he gives us his toys or pacifier and takes them back. He's got such a great personality and is very friendly that people are drawn to him wherever we go. He's definitely a people person.

He crawls everywhere and pulls himself to stand. He started cruising along the couch not too long ago -- signs showing that he is interested in walking. He enthusiastically waves "bye bye", and plays that game where you pat your mouth while making a "ba-ba" sound. He's definitely learning how to imitate us. It's so cool watching him progress.

Michael can say a few words like "mama", "baba", "yaya" and "wawa". We are trying to get him to say "da da". Sometimes it sounds like he says "hey!". He can shake his head "no" too.

As far as food goes, he still favors vegetables over fruits. He loves pancakes, toast, and puffs.

9 month stats:
Height - 29-1/3"
Weight - 20lbs 5oz
