So just recently Gavin turned 9 months old!! I can't believe that he has been OUT of the womb for as long as he was IN it. To commemorate this milestone he had two drs appts and a photo shoot. One of the drs appts was developmental and one was a regular physical. Here is where he is at so far:
Gavin weighed in at 19 lbs 8 oz (50th percentile)and is 28 1/2 inches long(btwn 75 & 90 percentile). He is growing great and is very healthy. He is still taking a bottle (not very willingly) 4 times a day and eats baby food 3 times a day. We are starting to try out lots of other foods on him: puffs, cheerios, biter biscuits, graham crackers and letting him chew on carrots, cucumber, asparagus. So far, he isn't sure about anything that has "texture" so we are working on it but in the meantime, the faces he pulls are priceless.
At his developmental appt we learned he is right on track and VERY strong. He crawls like CRAZY and pulls to a stand on everything he can get his hands on. He is good at picking up small objects (which means I am constantly picking up random coins on the floor dropped by his dad) and hitting objects together. He is loud and babbles all the time...in fact it has been said he is a true Yonker...always fighting to be heard over the person next to him. He doesn't know who "mama" is yet but we're working on it...as well as pat-a-cake, waving bye bye, SO BIG and giving kisses. So far, not much advancement in that area.
Anyway, it is hard to believe he is this big already and time has gone by so quickly for us. It was a year and a half ago already that this little guy rocked his momma's world letting her know he was growing away inside and he has continued to rock our world every day since....
