The Olson Updates: I am 9 months old!!!

Our sweet boy is 9 months old!!! There are no words to say how much I love being his Mom. He is such an incredibly happy little boy. He hardly ever cries and loves to give out smiles even to total strangers. We are so blessed to have such a happy and healthy baby! He has totally captured our hearts, and we just couldn't love him anymore. Here are some facts about Ford at 9 months

*He weighs 20 lbs. 3.5 oz. (60th percentile) 29 inches long (75th percentile) and head circumference 18 5/8 inches (98th percentile). He's long and lean like is Daddy!

*He has soooo much personality and is so friendly and social!

*He is pretty much always in a good mood and always smiling!!!

*He has SOOO much personality and is a total ham!!!

*He can say mama, dada, papa, fafa (he only whispers papa and fafa) , and baba, but I don't think any of those words mean anything just yet!

*He is wild, wild wild. Always moving and looking for something to grab.

*He isn't crawling yet, but he gets up on all fours and starts rocking. It's coming soon!!!

*He just rolled from his back to his stomach for the first time on 4/21/12

*He loves to give kisses, hugs and when I say "love Mama" he lays his head on my shoulder....MELT!!!

*When I sing "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands" he claps his hands.

*He loves iPhones and laptops and will do anything to get his hands on them!

*He already has his favorite toys.

*He gives his stuffed animals kisses!

*He loves music and now loves to dance. I see him in the car moving his head to the beat of the music!

*He still just has one tooth, but there has been A LOT of drooling lately, so I am sure we are due for a new one!!!

*He loves to mimic me. He nodes his head up and down and open and closes his mouth when I am talking.

*He is finally back on track of being a good sleeper! He sleeps from 7pm until about 6am.

*He takes two 1 1/2 to 2 hour naps.

*He is still in a swaddle (yes I know he's 9 months old!), but the last 3 nights he has slept in just a modified sleep sack (my mom sewed the arm holes closed, and we just zip him all the way up in it!).

*He loves to eat, but doesn't want to feed himself. He prefers I feed him all his food. When I put food on his tray he just looks at me with his mouth open!!

*When we ask him "where's Cooper" he looks for him and smiles when he sees him.

*The spitting up is so much better, but he still has the occasional puke which is usually on me!

*He loves to feel and scratch different textures.

*He is starting to take interest in reading books. Right now his favorite is "Where's baby's Belly Button" flip book.
