Hi Everyone,
Alexander has had a fun-filled month!
He learned how to stick out his tongue and now does it all the time when he is excited. Alex loves to pick up little pieces of anything off the floor with his little pincer grasp. He also learned to drink out of a sippy cup this month, although I think it's more entertainment for him than practical. One night he figured out how to get himself up to a sitting position from his back and so the crib was lowered and it was only days after that when he started to crawl. We have been trying to keep up with him by babyproofing our house. Alex's newest thing is that he loves to stand up wherever he possibly can. We think he really wants to stand on his own because he will let go frequently and eventually plop to the ground.
Alex now has six teeth! When we took our first family vacation to Big Bear Lake, four of his top teeth came in at the same time!
Alexander had his 9 month checkup yesterday and they said he might eventually be bigger than Jeff. He has slowed down in his growth, but is still big for his age. He is 29 inches long (75% for boys his age) and 23 lbs. (~80%). He has a healthy appetite and enjoys breakfast, orange veggies (sweet potatoes, squash, etc.) and dinner but definitely struggles to get down those green veggies. We will be trying some new tactics soon!
