9 Months Old

Liam was 9 months old on October 27th! 9-Month Stats:

  • 16lbs 8oz - still 5th percentile for weight

  • 27 1/2 inches long - he was 30th percentile for height

...we keep saying he better be fast because he's most likely not going to be big or tall!

9 months have passed and the time seems to go faster and faster, while Liam's skill set gets larger and larger...

Things our 9-month old can do:
  • Feed himself - he's tried tortillas, peas, cheerios, crackers, yogurt, chicken, pork, puffs, macaroni and cheese, squash, sweet potatoe, and pancakes
  • Use a spoon...more to play than anything else but he's interested in it.

  • Drink from a cup, without the lid...doesn't like the actual sippy on the sippy cup yet.

  • Crawl

  • Stand

  • Climb over things...pretty sure we've got a climber on our hands!

  • Bang things together

  • Dance and bounce when he hears music

  • Says 'mama', 'dada', 'nana', 'la-la', 'ba-ba', 'ga-ga', 'ya-ya', 'ra-ra' and various other babbles

  • LOVES his pointer finger...likes to stare at it, put it in his mouth, touch things with it

  • Crawls up stairs

  • Rides in a convertible carseat now instead of the infant carrier

  • Cracks himself up a lot! He'll do something and then chuckle to himself or look at you and laugh...it's hilarious!

Pictures from the past month...

Pulling up to stand...such a big boy!


There's that favorite finger!
