Kit Lawson - 9 months

Kit turned 9 months old on our vacation so this post is a little late.  At least I have a valid reason for it being late this time!  

- Wearing 6-12 month clothes.  He's all over the place! 
- Weight - 17 lbs.
- Started eating real food.  He LOVES broth!  Everything else seems to be hit or miss day by day.  He has liked prunes, pears, apples, chickpea pasta, and sweet potato.  He sometimes likes packets, we don't use them very often but they are handy in town or on trips.  He usually likes when I take the veggies from making broth, mostly carrots, and puree them. 

- Has developed quite the chub! I love it! 

- Goes to bed between 7:30-8:00, wakes up once between 3:30-5:30, nurses, and goes back down til 6:30 or 7ish usually! Sometime if he wakes up later like 5:30 he has a hard time going back down.  I mean by that point he's been down 10 hours.  Naps 9:30 and 2ish.  Unless something is going on, like he had a teething fever about a week ago he sleeps like a champ!

- This hallway is still his favorite place in the house I think!

- Loves crawling around in the water and and puddles outside. 


- I think he may like gymnastics more than Monte.  He gets to crawl around and pull up on all the mats.


- Thinks it is so funny when you gentle tickle around his mouth and nose.
- Still only has four teeth but I can see three more trying to peek through.
- Loves getting to go in the truck to check waters!  I even buckled him into his own seat once!

- Plays well alone.  
- Loves mirrors! 

- Loves Sister and Trooper!
- Still spits a lot!!

- Has started laughing and giggling at himself more and more!  He also jabbers and talks a lot.


- Seems to love water!  It doesn't matter how fussy he is in the evening, when he hears that bath water running he gets his little chubby arms going and beelines it for the bathroom.  He doesn't even have to be in to bathtub to be happy, just pulls up next to it and bangs on it happily and excited!


- Had his first busted lip, gums, and black eye!  He has gotten braver and slaps both hands at the same time while he's standing and has missed his hand placement a few times.  

- Started to REFUSE to nurse on the left side but a trip to the chiropractor has remedied that!
- Loves "playing" with Monte.
- Went swimming in pool for the first time and had a wonderful time!

- Still says, "mamamama" quite often, especially when he's tired. 
- Had the WORST day of his life a couple weeks ago!  It was so sad.  He SCREAMED angrily for an hour and wouldn't stop no matter what I tried!  It was so sad!  I am still not sure what was going on.  Gunnar got home later that afternoon and finally tried wore him and got him to sleep.  They were able to nap together for about an hour and he was semi better after that.  Man! My sweet baby, happy boy!  It was so weird! 

- Gets excited when Daddy gets home!
- Has started a new game or trick.  Whenever he crawls over a blanket or pillow, or sometimes even just on the carpet, he lays down like he's going to take a nap, then he grins and looks at you like he just pulled off the most clever trick ever! 

- Has started biting... He got Gunnar good on his shoulder yesterday!  I guess we'll have to start working on that.
- He likes to snuggled up into your shoulder.

- We realized the other day that we don't ever read to him. I have tried before and he was way more interested in just eating the book.  I tried again the other day and he was fascinated with the pages so we are reading to him more often now.
- Went to the river for the first time!! He actually turned 9 months at the river so I'll just include it in this post.  He got lots of Uncle time!

- Got to ride in the swing for the first time and it was the best thing ever! It did to Kit what Benadryl does to me! haha The second you put him in, he would almost become lethargic and just relax! 

- Liked the river and eating rocks!! ahhhh it was the worst sound ever! And he was so quick! I'd glance up at Monte or to talk to someone and he'd have another one sooo fast! 


- Bear crawls outside or when he doesn't want his knees to touch.
