Another doctor's visit, luckily no shots. But today was a yucky day, is there a full moon tonight? The day started out well. Then at noon it went into to super crap mode. I got another ticket, right outside my neighborhood, at the doctor Noah fell and cut his lip open (Kyle's fault - do have him tell the story), Kyle ate all this really good cheese I wanted to eat --- and well that's why my day was crappy. Okay, it wasn't so bad, but it sure felt that way.9 month developments
- He will almost certainly be mobile one way or another by now; either crawling, bottom shuffling or pulling himself up on a firm object and ‘cruising’ - walking around hanging onto the furniture
- He will be able to pick up and put down toys at will, as his fingers are now a little more under his control
- Your baby will be able to help feed himself and will enjoy picking up finger foods
- If he is crawling he will want to explore everywhere
- He may become shy of strangers and people he does not see often
- Shape sorters: simple posting and sorting games which encourage him to match shapes or increase his dexterity
- Activity toys: toys with buttons to press or turn that make sounds so he can learn that doing one thing leads to another thing happening
- Bath toys: now he can sit unsupported he will enjoy filling and tipping water from a container and watching it splash
He does not go to bed on his own yet, which could become a problem- or I should just plan to continue rocking him to sleep at least until he goes to college. The nurse said we could start giving him more table food. Apparently by the time he is one we should start weening him off a bottle. I should read up more on this.
He's a lot of fun - busy body, strong, yeller, sweet smiles, happy, laughing, stubborn, persistent, charming, sooo curious --- and we love him so much!!!
Here is the fabric I bought for this apron swap I am doing. I ended up not using the decals. I'll probably just send them with the package. I hope my pal likes what I made, I'm nervous and in perfectionist mindset - even though I know what I made is not perfect ---which makes me even more anxious.
