9 Months

At 9 months, Aiden weighs 19 pounds 3 ounces and is 30 inches long. While his percentage for weight has drastically dropped, his percentage for height is very high (92%). Ever since he started cruising around, he has become long and lean!

Aiden is such a little love bug. He absolutely loves to snuggle and will usually pat us on the back or shoulder after we pick him up. Although he's still just army crawling, he gets around surprisingly fast! He wants to pull himself up on things, especially us, but he hasn't quite figured out that he needs to get onto his knees before his feet. It's a work in progress. Aiden often says "ma ma" when he wants to be picked up - I guess he knows he's already got my number! He also says "da da" and he started saying "doy doy doy doy" while we were on our cruise. He babbles all the time and often talks with his hands when he's telling us a story. So cute!

He is still loving all of his homemade organic baby food. Although avocado still seems to be his favorite, he is a big fan of apple/broccoli and prune/zucchini. Yum! He has also given string cheese and toast a try. He's not quite sure what to think of the texture of finger foods that don't dissolve the second they hit his tongue, but he's slowly getting the hang of it.

This month, Aiden's top 2 teeth came in! I didn't think it was possible for his smile to be more adorable than it already was, but just look at him! To die for!


It's becoming a little harder to keep this busy body in the chair for his grow bear pictures!
