Micah Owen, you are 9 months old!
You are growing so quickly! At your 9 month check up you weighed 23lbs, 12oz (96th percentile) and 29.3 inches long (83rd percentile). You're solidly in 18 month clothing all around. Some days it feels like you are quickly catching up to Levi! You have spent this month crawling all around the house to explore each area! Your crawl has become fast, and now that you have it mastered it you have started pulling up and standing at furniture and toys.
Micah you are so very chatty! You love shrieking and squealing at us. Sometimes you and Elijah like to shriek at each other back and forth, you think it is such a fun game. You also love imitating the sounds we make and it often feels like we are having a conversation.
This month you went to your first park! Parks have been closed to due corona-virus and only recently opened back up. You went on your first swing ride and you sort of loved and also looked a bit scared! You also celebrated your first Halloween. Mama dressed up as Cruella De Vil and you were the cutest dalmatian. You enjoyed celebrating the holiday at a friend's backyard and you watched all the big kids run around.
Your daytime routine has been slowly solidifying. After you wake up in the morning, you like to lay down at about 2 hours and 40 minutes for your first nap. After that nap you like to go down for your second one after about 2 hours and 50 minute of wake time. And then bedtime is after you've been awake for 3-3.5 hours.
Micah you've been trying new foods. You usually seem to like to try some foods that we are eating but also really enjoy having your purees. You like a mix of us feeding you food and when we put food on the spoon and hand it over to you. But then you end up dropping the spoon on the floor when you get interested in something else. Lately you have been enjoying oatmeal and mama's homemade pizza.
During your 10th month we think you are looking forward to cutting down a Christmas tree and decorating the house for the holidays.
Here are some photos from your 9th month.
