Baby State of Affairs: 9 months

Last Wed, we took Max to the ped for his 9 month check up. Here are his stats:

Weight: 22 lbs (86%)
Height: 29.75 in. (94%)
Head: 18 in. (71%)

Unfortunately, Max started having a fever the night before so he was not so willing to be poked at. Many tears later, we hustled him home for some TLC.

So what's been going on in the world of baby burrito? Not too much. He's still eating and drinking the same as in the last update. Mobility-wise, he's definitely crawling. Hasn't pulled himself to standing yet but is starting to pull himself to kneeling. So cute to see him wobble and flop over. Teeth-wise, he's got four now! His top two came in a couple weeks ago. Luckily he hasn't been exercising his teeth on ME when breastfeeding. Sleep-wise, he's been sleeping about 11 hrs at night with a 2 hr nap in the morning and a 0-1 hr nap in the afternoon. Pretty awesome. Every now and then he'll actually fall asleep on his own after playing in the crib for a bit but that's not too frequent. Yes I still nurse him to sleep, yes it's the path of least resistance, I know. Sociability-wise, he's easy going and loves to giggle at mommy's silly faces and daddy's silly antics. He's obsessed with "ba" lately and blowing his lips.

This of course was all pre-cold. These past few days have been pretty miserable. Our wonderful baby has been replaced by a sad grumpy fussy baby. The fever is mostly gone thank goodness, but he's got a runny nose and chest congestion. He's been coughing more and more (throwing up contents of his stomach sometimes) and his appetite is negligible. Poor little man. I can only hope he'll recover quickly.
