Monday: 9 months old

Joshua is 9 months old!  A three quarters of a year!

Sleep - he's slept through the night (11pm-7am) a few times.  He takes two or three naps a day, depending on how long the second nap is.  He seems to be a pretty light sleeper as he wakes up shortly after Isaac does most days.

Eating - this is going so much better.  Sweet potatoes seem to be his favorite (and they also seem to help him sleep through the night the best).  But puffs and rice crackers are a big hit too.  Yogurt and peas are eaten pretty easily.  I haven't been giving him a ton of new foods this month, trying to just get the eating thing down.  It doesn't help that summer produce isn't here yet.  But he has a good tenish foods that we rotate through.

Moving - he can (and does) roll to get somewhere, but it isn't continuous rolling until he gets to his destination, so it might take him a bit.  He's been pulling himself onto his knees.  He can eat his finger food by himself  (puffs, sweet potatoes, peas) and gets most of it in his mouth.  He still enjoys his jumper.

Attitude - still pretty mellow.  Usually he's happy to play with his toys, especially if someone else is in the room.  Most of the time he's ok being with people that aren't Ben or me, but there are issues sometimes.

Talking - he does quite a bit of babbling.  I hear mama and dada a lot, but I'm not sure if that's just what my ears pick out.  He knows to holler if I'm not feeding him fast enough, unfortunately.  He doesn't like to be put in the excersaucer and have you walk by it a lot without picking him up and he lets us know.
