Samuel at 9 months


This month has been full of changes for Samuel:

he has mastered sitting up and changing positions without being wobbly
he hasn't lifted his belly off the ground yet but continues to army crawl at rapid speed (see video below)
he pulls up to his knees
he eats 90% of what we eat and is a huge fan of food in general
we've started signing with him - just the basics like more, all done, drink and food
he says dada, mama, mom and no
he gets up on all fours but then goes back down to his belly when he actually wants to move
he is starting to mimic what we do (like blowing on hot food or making sounds with our mouths) 
he waves bye-bye

At his 9 month check-up he was in the 90th percentile for height (29 1/2 inches) and 25th percentile for weight (18 pounds 14 ounces.) The doctor was excited because he had such a nice growth spurt. He was in the 50th percentile in height and 10th percentile in weight at his 6 month check-up. He was amazed at the comeback he's made after how sick he was when he had pneumonia. That was exciting to hear. He's such a busy, happy little boy!
