stats

Ty's 9 month stats:

Height: 28 1/2 inches - 85%

Weight: 18lbs 5.5 oz - 15%

Head: 18 inches - 70%

He's doing great, and starting to eat more normal table foods. Not liking cheeses though. I tried feeding him cottage cheese the other day and he grimaced, spit it out, and gagged. So sorry bud. But he loves his fruits, veggies, juices, & crackers.

Here are some other stats...

Height: 5 inches

Weight: 5 oz

This is at 17 weeks....

YEP!

I'm pregnant again. I am feeling alright. Just very tired and growing bigger. That never feels good. We found out last week that we are having a girl. We are so excited, but it's still sinking in that we are going to go through this whole newborn thing again very shortly. Not looking forward to that. Our search for baby girl names is on. We've got a few in mind that neither of us can agree upon. Any suggestions on how to convince Paxton of my names?

his favorite place

He loves to play on the fireplace, pushing toys and DVDs across it. He may like it too because it's a cold surface. He is a fireball... so it cools him down a bit. Especially during these hot days we're having.

He gets so mad when the truck tips over and he can't push it anymore. Usually it's when he is really tired so he gives up on trying to put it upright and keep pushing. I'd probably do the same thing.

He has his Dr. appointment tomorrow, so we'll get to see how much he's grown!

9

That's how many months my baby is... 9 months!

He is getting more and more fun each day. He seems to learn new things every day and understands a lot.

He likes to dance when there is catchy music on.

He loves to push cars and trucks on the floor, or any toy that will slide.

He can say mama, dada, baba, yaya, and other jibber jabber.

He hates to ride in the car seat or be contained for too long.

He bounces in his crib waiting for me to come get him after naps, and is always happy to see me.

He loves to be tickled and thrown on the bed, and play rough.

He likes to dip his face in the water during bath time. He thinks it's so hilarious.

He grunts and growls at me, his toys, and his food all the time.

He laughs at himself in the mirror.

He follows Mom everywhere she goes in the house.

He loves his food, and if it gets taken away because it's too small or messy, he gets mad, swings his arms, and shakes his head back and forth until we do something about it.

He is a very curious boy who tries to get into everything he can. The house is a mess by the end of the day because he chucks his toys when he's not interested in them anymore.

He screams really high and loud when he gets excited.

He is the sweetest baby in the world, and we have had SO much fun with him. He makes me laugh every day.

Love You Ty!

rockin out

Ty is teething again. I'm not sure which tooth/teeth are coming in, but he's been sucking on his gums and chewing everything. He had a stuffy/runny nose the past week and is now over it, so I'm hoping this tooth will come in soon.

We've been enjoying the warm weather by going to Yaya's pool and taking lots of walks around the neighborhood. I cannot wait til our pool opens in 3 weeks. I think he'll love it.

Ty never is interested in watching TV when we have it on, but when I pop in Baby Einstein, he is glued. I don't know what it is about that show that attracts them, but it works. And I can get a little time to myself where he's not climbing all over me.

He sure is a climber. He climbs on me, and up to the couch that I'm leaning against. Then he climbs up the pillows. He climbs up on the cabinet doors, dishwasher door, oven door, beds, dressers, couches, tv stand, bathtub, everywhere. He is starting to move along the couch when he's standing against it. Silly kid.

A few days ago, a couple friends and I went to a consignment sale that had tons of baby toys, clothes, books, and gear. I could have spent hours there looking at all the clothes and books and toys, but Ty was super tired. I still got lots of good things. Two Little People sets, a big bag of blocks, 3 books, and a pair of shorts all for $30! I'll definitely go next year! Thanks Lisa!

Paxton and Ty got a few pictures taken last night. Paxton framed a picture for me for Mother's Day... an early present. It's not either one of these, but it's just as cute. I love my boys. Thanks for the pictures Pax.

Ty's hair is getting long enough where he needs a haircut... but I don't want to cut any hair off that head! It's just too cute. But I know he'd look super cute with a little trim.. probably look older. I think a long shag would be cute too. I just can't do it.
