Nine Months



Dillan is nine months!  This month, Dillan is starting to show more and more personality, as he will surely tell us when he's happy with squeals, giggles, and babbles, as well as promptly informing us when he is not so happy with whines and rapidly shaking his head 'no'.  He is quite the expressive boy :)

At nine months, Dillan:
- is officially 20 lbs 13 oz (guess our scale at home isn't that accurate)
- is learning to drink with a straw
- is up to three meals of solids a day and loves table food
- has finally taken an interest in being mobile - scooching and turning and reaching
- pulled up to knees and then feet
- enjoys standing while holding onto furniture
- celebrated his first Easter holiday with the family
- is clapping his hands and giving high fives (more like slow/soft fives)
- likes: seeing himself in the mirror and blowing raspberries
- dislikes: getting his face/nose wiped


At the doctor's office for his 9 month checkup


Waving after pulling himself up to his knees for the first time



...and then to his feet a few days later

started turning and pivoting and reaching...precursor to crawling?

LOVES when daddy tosses him in the air

 Always on his feet

that's awesome dillan! you've been a busy boy this past month. =)

might be time to lower the crib especially if he can stand up. don't want him to jump/climb over.

janice - his face looks all clear. no more eczema?

happy 9 months buddy!

yes, we immediately lowered the crib after he pulled himself up.

eczema continues to come and go - it cleared up for a while but today it was absolutely awful. I think being outdoors/windy weather may affect it, especially since there's all this pollen blowing around.
