9 month stats:
Weight: 21 lbs. 12 oz. (75%)
Height: 28 1/2 inches (60%)
Head: 18 inches (65%)
So both his weight and his height percentages went down about 10 percent, but his head went up 40 percent. Interesting.
It is incredible to me how quickly Gavin is changing. This past month we have seen so many changes in our little guy. Probably the number one change is how social he has become! Everyone has commented on how he is much more smiley and responsive to everyone around him. He used to always have this super serious face all of the time, but now he smiles all of the time.
He is also becoming a lot more vocal. He makes a lot of noises, but no words yet. The closest thing to a word is "aba" which he says a lot!
He is still eating like a little monster. He eats pretty much anything we put in front of him (except bananas). We are still slowly introducing new foods but I think his favorites are sweet potatoes and peas. I am still making most of his food which I absolutely love. (It's a lot easier now that I am using my new blendtec blender! AMAZING!)
He still hasn't made any progress on crawling. He will get up on his hands, but because he arches his back so much he won't put his knees underneath himself. He will occasionally push himself backwards, which just makes him mad. I'm not worried about the crawling thing, I have too much to do to get the apartment baby proofed!
Sadly he is no longer my champion sleeper. We used to put him to bed at 7:00 and we literally would not hear a peep until 7:00 the next morning. Now he always wakes up around 5:30 but will go back to sleep until about 6:30. Lately though he has been a little sick and has been waking up numerous times during the night. Naps have also become a huge struggle, with most lasting only about an hour. I want my sleeping baby back!!
He still loves to be outside. It's getting a little bit too hot outside during the day so we don't spend too much time outside but I try to get him out when I can. We are still doing swim lessons and he loves the water. He is a little more relaxed but still doesn't like to be on his back in the water.
It's been a crazy 18 months with 9 months of pregnancy and 9 months of baby! I don't think you can ever prepare yourself for life with a baby. But we are loving it and enjoying all of the time that we have with our little guy.

I really enjoy the posts about Gavin. It is so great to keep up with how he is growing. He's blessed in parentage.
I love the pictures with Gavin and what month he is. So cute!
Gavin is so adorable! I was looking at him now and in your picture of him to the side when he was a new born. I was like wow he's grown so much! He super adorable.
I love the picture. Clever:) Don't worry it's way normal to have sleeping troubles, I don't think mine have slept at the same time for more than 6 hours ever... And that's on a good night:) I don't mind if they wake up, as long as they go back to sleep...
