Little Man...

(iPhone photo)


Well, he's 9 (and a half) months old and he finally made it on the weight charts! He weighed in at a respectible 15 lbs 10 oz. That's the 0.7% people. Good work Caleb. You are so, so close to the 1 percentile!

But the doctor doesn't like it. I told her that the kid is constantly eating. He ate a grilled cheese sandwich earlier this week and he doesn't even have any teeth yet. Well, that's not true. He has one bottom tooth that just broke through this past week. He'll be on a steady diet of avocado and butter for the next few weeks.

He's also crawling around like a mad man which could explain his weight issue. He's burning every calorie that he takes in! I wish I could do that.

9 month accomplishments:

One bottom tooth!
Crawling
Sits up from crawling
Says dada dada dada dada
Loves to smile at his sister
Sleeps a solid 13 hours at night !
Takes 2 decent naps
Loves the bathtub
Loves peanut butter Ritzbits
Smiles at Mickey
Still loves to breastfeed

We are all obsessed with him around here. He makes us want another one and that's saying A LOT! He's the best baby--he never cries. He'll fuss a bit if he's tired or hungry, but other than that, he's happy and smiling ALL OF THE TIME. Really.

Sweet little Caleb.

A tiny little guy sounds kind of nice to carry around.

and 13 hours- I am jealous. I don't think Max has slept 13 hours in a night in his entire life. It is always 11, and 12 on the special occasion.

Wait, 13 hours? I want to be a baby.

I really don't think I have ever heard him cry. What a great photo of his happiness too. 13 hours. That is solid.

He just looks like a happy, content, easy, lovely baby. I wish I could have seen him while I was there!! Next time for sure....x

He sounds like a dream. And so adorable.

I hate the whole weight-chart thing. And then the nurses look at you like you are a bad mom, that you aren't feeding them. I've been getting it for Austin, too and he is only in the 10th! Whatever.
