Yep, that's right...BabyCole is now 9 months old! I can't believe how fast the time has gone. He is such a blessing and I love watching him grow and discover new things every day.
At his appointment this week, Cole was 20lbs. 8oz. and 27 3/4 inches which makes him 2 1/2 lbs heavier and 1/4 inch shorter than Halle was at 9 months. He had to have his finger pricked to check his iron and lead levels and he did awesome! He didn't make a sound when his finger was pricked, he just sat and watched what the nurse was doing with lots of curiosity. Cole was also a big boy for his shot, just one little whimper. He is such a trooper!
Cole is now pulling up on EVERYTHING! He is also cruising around the furniture. It won't be long before he lets go and takes his first steps. He came close the other day, but he just wouldn't let go of the table until he had his daddy's hand. We also had to move him from the infant car seat to a big boy car seat since he was just about at the weight limit. Cole is still sleeping about 12 hours a night *knock on wood* and eating like a champ. I am trying to introduce some table food, but he isn't taking to it like I thought he would. I have also been trying to get him to drink from a sippy cup. I have tried several and I finally found "the one." Cole successfully drank 2 of his normal bottles today from a sippy. Now that I have found one he likes, I need to go buy more.
