Will: 9 Months

Look out world! Here I come!



I am considering calling these post “The week late posts” since I can never seem to get it together on time. With all the vacation and traveling we’re honestly lucky these lovely photo shoots are happening at all!

Well yall…my sweet baby boy is NINE months and three months shy of being a 1 year old! I may just crawl up in the closet and cry my eyes out. But seriously, I LOVE this stage. More independence, more interactive and sooo much personality. Each month seriously just gets better and better!


The Skinny on Mr. Will:
Weight: 21lbs 2oz (75% percentile)
Height: 29inches (75%percentile)
Head: 44.4cm (60 percentile)


Eating: Will continues to kill it on the solids and is now completely on finger foods. Right about the 8 month mark he started trying to grab the spoon out of my hand and lean in to grab food off our plates…so we knew it was time. He eats EVERYTHING! Cheese, Avocados, Yogurt, Carrots, Peas, lots of cantaloupe and watermelon and even chicken! Each day he gets more on his mouth and less on the floor and I couldn’t be more proud.  As for bottles, he still takes 4 a day but now takes closer to 6oz at each feed since most of his calories are now coming from his big boy food!

Sleeping: These are what I like to call The Glory Days! Days at one time I could only dream of. We put Will to bed at 7:30pm and I go get him up between 7:30am and 7:45! Hallelujah! He still takes two 1 ½ hour naps.

Milestones: This has been a BIG month. Will continues to speed crawl and scale the furniture. He loves circling the coffee table. He has even started to stand on his own for a few seconds before he realizes he’s not holding on and then he plops down.  He now holds his own bottles yay! And says dadada, bababa and has started to become more and more verbal. He loves for me to call Dada on my cell phone and let him “talk to dada” on speakerphone and continues to be the happiest kid. He still HATES having his diaper changes or clothes changed. You would seriously think we are abusing the child with how he reacts! But other than that he is growing beautifully!

Here’s a few more shots...













and this folks is how Will really feels about having his pictures taken!





at least we ended with a smile!


I promise next month to be more prompt to post!He H
