Today I took Payson for his 9 month check up with his new pediatrician. His new doctor doesn't speak English very well, but at least she is supportive of our plans for a home birth and using an alternate vaccine schedule for our children. Payson had to get two shots today and was a little more upset than he usually gets. He now weighs 22.4 lbs. and is 29 inches long.
Looking back, I can't believe how far we have come. From having trouble gaining weight to a stocky and solid little man. From NEVER sleeping or napping alone to sleeping 12 hours a night in his own room without making a peep and napping at least 3 hours a day. I love that I can just lay him down wide awake and he feels secure enough to play in his crib until he drifts off to sleep. He can now say "Mama", "Dada" and "more", but only when HE wants to. His favorite foods are string cheese, bananas and pancakes. He has recently learned how to drink from a sippy cup and loves drinking juice throughout the day. He is interested in everything around him and loves to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse every morning. Lastly, his hair grows like a weed so I usually cut it every 2 weeks. People compliment his little man haircut everywhere we go.
As for Paul and I, we are in the last stretch of my pregnancy with Beckett and we look forward everyday to meeting him. Paul is still enjoying his detail which will end right before my due date. Let's hope I don't go into labor early while he is across the country!
Please enjoy a few recent pictures of our little man...
