9 Months Old

Every month I say the same thing...I can not believe Vaughn is 9 months old! Time is flying and the number of things he is doing changes daily, he is really growing up fast. Tuesday March 20th marks the date that he crawled on all fours moving forward. He is eating tons of finger foods and is pretty much done with baby food. So far he loves peas, shredded chicken, cheese and of course the old stand by puffs and Cheerios. He is drinking out of a straw sippy cup and loves it. I don't think this little one is going to have any trouble transitioning away from bottles. He is into everything and is much more of an explorer than his sisters. I am not completely sure if it is because he has more freedom during the day, but I really think he is going to have the desire to get into everything he is not supposed to be in. He sadly has gotten the bumps and bruises that come with the new mobility, it's the little bumps that get him, not the ones that I think look like they would be more reaction worthy. Ha. His official crawl date is March 20th (yes I am super behind on blogging:()


It's a little strange Chris and I think he seems a little less happy with his new sense of freedom. Chris remembers the girls being the same way, but I miss the little baby that always smiled and never cried. I have to believe it is a little overwhelming for him to be exploring this huge world and probably a little frustrating constantly being redirected and bossed around by his sisters. He still manages to smile the majority of the time, and yes everything goes in the mouth...

Here are his stats:

Weight 20.5 lbs (60th percentile)
Length 29in (80th percentile)
Head 46.2cm The nurse didn't indicate what percentile this falls into, I am assuming it is off the charts by their comments :)

The doc says he has the perfect proportions and that he probably has the Ivy League in his future(based on his head/brain size), LOL. Maybe he will follow in Auntie Beth's footsteps, the Yale part!!!

Swinging makes this little boy happy!

Vaughn also loves music and dancing around and clapping. Here he is demonstrating his new found skill:

Vaughn and Wrigs are buds!
