Today Kade is 9 months old. I can't believe how big he is getting, and by big I mean old because he certainly isn't big! Last time he was weighed, he was a whopping 17 pounds. He's in the 35th percentile for height and weight so he's still a little guy. Here are some of the things he has been up to lately....
1. He had his first real play date with his friend Lucy this week. (The reason I say real is because we have hung out with friends that have kids around his age, but this is the first time he understood. And it was just a friend. He has played with my cousin Shannon before. She's 2, and makes him laugh hysterically!)
2. He pretends to cough all the time. (Note previous post.)
3. He's a big time mama's boy. He loves his daddy but when mama's around, there's no competition.
4. He's eating real people food. He has crackers and fruit. He loves food. It's cute. Today he had some pieces of grapes. It was hilarious because they were sour, but he loved them.
5. He LOVES books. I will put all his toys out and some of his books and he goes for the books completely ignoring the rest of his toys. I love it!
6. His favorite shows are Sesame Street and Signing Time. Sesame Street makes him crack up, and Signing Time makes him dance.
7. He is climbing ALL OVER the place. It's crazy, he gets off the couch by himself, he can get off my bed by himself.
8. He pulls himself up. If he's sitting in his crib he can pull himself up and if he's sitting on the ground he can pull himself up so he's standing at the couch.
9. If his balance was better he'd be walking. He wants to SO bad!
10. He has 3 almost 4 teeth. It has made for a fun couple of weeks. He has two that he got when he was 5 months, and now the top front teeth are coming in.
11. He's so ticklish and loves to laugh and dance and play.
12. His favorite song is the ABC song.
13. He can drink out of a straw and a sippy cup really well! He loves drinking his extremely watered down juice that is disgusting. But he loves it.
14. He is crawling
ALL over the place!!!We love him so much and we are so proud of how smart he is getting! Here are a few pictures of him looking at his books and then the straw. There were too many that I liked....
