9 Months Old!

Aiden is three-quarters of a year old! He had his pediatrician appointment today, so we can pretty confidently say that he is 17 lbs. 7 oz., 27 inches long, and his head is 17” around… that’s a lot of sevens!

This nine month old loves to grab everything—books off shelves, necklaces (he broke one of my chains this week :( ), remote controls, etc. He is cruising around furniture and walking confidently while holding onto someone’s hands, but it is very rare that he will take a step without both hands firmly attached to someone or something, so maybe he won’t walk on his own for a while yet. He is crawling really fast when he’s after something, responds to his name, eats most anything we have given him so far (cottage cheese was a big fail), and smiles at strangers most of the time as long as they don’t try to hold him.

Aiden got his first kids’ menu and crayons tonight! Never mind that we didn’t actually order anything for him, and we didn’t even let him touch the crayons… He was happy just waving the menu around in the air and smiling at the waitress. :)

He is getting so big! I don't blame him for not liking the cottage cheese. I don't like it either.
