Today's 9month well-visit was wonderful! Dr. Mann said Madden is going to be a football player! He now weighs 22 pounds and is over 30 inches tall. He's in the 75th percentile for weight and the 95th percentile for height. I love that he's already tall like his daddy! Madden still can't say mama, but of course he can say several different forms of Mike's name: "Daddy, Da Da, and Dad." He also says, "Bye, Bye!" My mom taught him how to give a high-give about a month ago and he's still doing it.
He is such a busy body, that it's a challenge to keep him still at times. Giving him a bath and changing his diaper has become a chore, but I still love it! The child gets to where he needs to go by scooting, turning, rolling, and inching across the floor backwards, but......he's still not "officially" crawling. He loves to pull up on anything and everything. If you just barely are holding onto his hands, he pops right up. He is super strong!
Obviously he has a healthy appetite. We are going to start introducing him to a sippy cup. I'm pretty sure I know how that's going to workout....the cup will end up across the room. Why do little boys love to throw everything? Well, that's the update on our little love-bug. Mike and I just love him to pieces!
I don't girl but you will LOVE the freedom a sippy cup gives you! It was like OMG, my baby is a kid! He can do it on his own! So neat :)
