Zane at 9 months

December 21, Zane turned 9 months. 

This past month has been a big growth month with new teeth (currently has 2 bottom, 2 top and his 2 upper eye teeth are coming in) and new movement.  Zane is on the move, no crawling but he can roll himself to where he wants to go. 

Oh, and remember how I used to say that he was a little unhappy in those first 6 months...that phase has passed.  Zane is one happy baby boy now!

Go figure, the boy who normally gets kicked out of class at church actually fell asleep IN A CRIB (lights on and parents picking up other kids).  As you can tell, I was so amazed I had to take a picture. 

He is so well adjusted now in part to his extremely involved big sister who loves him dearly. 

Zane absolutely loved going to the doctor's office sitting on the exam table and ripping the paper to shreds...in front of a mirror no less! He measured in at 28 inches (75% percentile) and 20.4 lbs (50% percentile).  I am thankful that our sweet boy is growing healthy.  He did have his first ear infection this month which took 2 rounds of antibiotics to clear. 

At 9 months, Zane loves:

Big Sister

Eating food

Nursing

Dada (oh yeah, that is his first word-no love for Mama)

Sissy (the dog)

Putting everything in his mouth

At 9 months, Zane dislikes:

Waiting for food in the high chair 

Sleeping thru the night (he just chooses not to even try)
