Declan at 9 Months

Declan: Nine Months


  • You weigh 16.6 pounds
  • You are wearing 6-9 month shirts/3-6 month shorts and size 2 diapers
  • You are 5% height, 10% for weight and 30% for head size!
  • You sleep from 6:30/7pm-5:30am/6:30am (11 to 12 hours), and take 2 naps (10ish and 2ish) leaning more towards 1 really long nap.
  • Your favorite toy right now is everything!! Blocks, balls, drums, guitar, my phone!
  • You have 2 bottom teeth and your top 2 teeth are starting to come in. Your gums are super swollen and you have had some small fevers and a ton of poopy diapers.  
  • You bang your paci on your crib and then when it ends up on the floor and you kinda cry/whine until someone gets it for you.
  • When it's time for your nap you will just lay there and rub your eyes. You're always on the move so just laying there is a huge thing.
  • You've started gumming some real food. You love baby puffs and sweet potato cheetos. You have have tried some sweet potato fries and chicken. You love yogurt.
  • You have started saying, "mama mamma" and "lalalalala" but not much else.
  • You click your tongue. All the time.  
  • We've introduced water in a sippy cup. your not a huge fan of your milk in your sippy cup because it doesn't last as long as the bottle.
  • You love the TV show Friends. The introduction actually. I can't get you to lay still to put on your nightly lather of butt paste, diaper, lotion, clothes and sleep sack. So we turn that on and replay it 3-4 times and your little eyes are glued to the TV until we turn it off and you get your night bottle. It's so funny. You can be anywhere in the room doing anything and that theme song comes on and your eyes are on the TV. 



Declan you are such a big boy! You are learning so many things and so fast!  You are crawling faster than ever, standing up when ever you can, and you walked with your toy walker one time at Mooh & Pooh's house on August 3rd!! So many milestones in so little time. Your smile will light up my darkest days. Your daddy and you have so much fun playing with your toys until I get home!! I love getting to come home to you and getting to see your eyes light up and smile so big at me.  I know I say this a lot but I really do love you and I'm so happy you're ours!!!
