Seriously. I think he was just 9 DAYS old, not 9 months… wow! Well, here is what was going on in OllieLand at 9 months!
* His 9 month appointment went well and this is what we left with: You got your Hep B and Polio vaccine, you weighed 20.3 lbs, are 28 inches tall and have a "healthy" head circumference!!! heheh. Hats are becoming way too small, very quickly! Dr. Sotelo said you could now eat any baby foods and once we feel comfortable you can start finger foods!
* The Developmental nurse that we had since our NICU days came for a check up and was extremely proud of Oliver's progress since the last time she saw him! The only two suggestions she wanted us to work on was for him to practice holding 2 objects at once and getting his knees under him so he could crawl on his knees..
* We officially baby-proofed the house and gated his playroom off! We dropped his crib mattress and geared up for a crawler-kid kinda house!
* One of Oliver's favorite things is to grocery shop with Momma on Meal Planning Monday's! SoOO many fun things to look at! He just kicks his little chubby legs and chews on his stroller strap..
* He eats and likes carrots, pears, apricots, bananas, sweet potatoes, apple, squash, pumpkin, cranberries, yogurt smoothie, yogurt melts (Dots), puffs (We call them treat puffs), small pieces of cheese and chicken.
* He started cutting his top tooth! And it's a BIG one.. i blame the steroid shots.. Plus he has 2 other teeth coming in up top!
* He got his first real fever and was not feeling well for about 3 days.. Not FUN! Especially because it happened over Mother's Day weekend! Nothing like putting your Momma skills and love into full swing with a sick baby, right?
* You started doing Kindermusik classes with Miss Brenlie!!! You LOVE her and so do I! She is a baby whisperer, I swear!
* You also started a swim class at AquaSafe with Momma once a week to slowly start teaching you water safety! Arizona is home to a lot of pools, so this was a top priority! Plus, it's perfect for when it gets really hot! You even went completely under the water and didn't cry! You love it!
* Papo and Gam Gam came to babysit for a weekend so we could go to the Tim McGraw and Kip Moore concert!
* You love playing in your Baby Splash pool in the backyard, pushing your walker, sitting in your big boy chair, playing the "I drop over and over and you pick it up over and over game," playing with anything shiny, banging toys like drums, riding on your tiger and in the laundry basket, looking at books, dunking your basketballs in your pretend hoop, jogging with Momma, chewing on any sort of strap, bubbles, silly faces and you won't let Mommy or Daddy out of your sight! You are such a joy at this age!
