Cashion at 9 months



During Cashion's 9th month, he started cruising and he can lower himself to sitting from standing at the couch. He can pick up and eat Cheerios by himself and is liking solid food better than his bottle. He is quick with his smile and it is SO big. His first word was "Mama" (woohoo, I got one...Sadie said "Dada" first.) We think "Baba" is actually how he says "Daddy." He is waving "bye bye." He has 6 teeth (4 on top and 2 on bottom). Cashion can play on his own for a while now. He is so interested in toys and can turn the pages of a book that we are reading to him. He is in 12 month size clothes and weighs 21 pounds (70th percentile). Dr. Brown said that babies who start out as big as Cashion usually start to slow down on their growth about now and show their true position on the growth chart. His is 28.5 inches tall (50th percentile) and his head circumference is 46.5 cm (80th percentile.)

Cashion loves his friends and caregivers at Sammy's House where he spends 3 half days per week. But, for the first time he cried when I walked away from him a couple of weeks ago. He gets so excited to see me when I return that he quickly crawls over to me with a huge grin. He loves everything that his sister does. Sadie loves to give him hugs and kisses and teach him about things.
