At his 9 month appointment:
Weight: 20 lbs 13 oz (70%)
Length: 30 inches (95%)
His nicknames are Aves, AA, Poo Poo and Smudge.
Avery is wearing 6-9 and 6-12 month clothes.
He is wearing a size 4 diaper.
Avery has 8 teeth!! 4 on top and 4 on bottom!
He's still not the greatest at sleeping but there have been nights in the past month that he has slept through the night on his own. If he wakes up during the night and Nic goes in there, most of the time he will go back to sleep and not wake till the morning.
Avery stays awake about 2.5-3 hours before his next nap.
Avery naps twice per day, typically at 10 and 2:30. He sleeps around 2 hours.
Avery still sleeps mostly on his belly and he likes to have his arm around his favorite bear, Garrison.
He nurses every 4 hours during the day.
Avery is doing better with puréed foods. He has tried most all fruits and veggies and is eating stage 3 foods with some chunks in there. He also eats and loves yogurt.
Avery is still taking a bottle once a week when I work.
Avery is babbling more and has said a few words!
*mama
*dada
*ball
*bath
*up
*baby
Avery is still crawling.
He likes to hold on to and carry around any object while crawling (paper, a bag, a toy, etc).
He pulls himself up to standing on everything and everyone.
He can get back down to his bottom or crawling easily.
He cruises a little bit along the furniture.
He has transferred from couch to chair a few times but generally goes back to a crawling position when he wants to move.
He loves Roxy and looks for her when you ask him where she is.
He can climb the stairs.
He climbs on everything, really.
Avery has loved being out in the pool this summer and kicks his legs in the water.
Avery adores both of his big brothers. He's a little scared of Ryane (who's not?).
He loves to play in Roxy's water bowl.
Whenever we call Roxy to put her in her crate, he makes a kissing noise like we do with his lips.
He waves bye bye.
Avery claps his hands when we say "yay!!"
Avery loves when Nic comes home from work! It's the cutest thing and none of the other kids did this at this age. When Avery hears Nic come home he crawls fast over to him, gets on his knees and wants to be picked up!
He is so sweet and happy. He laughs all time!
