Nate Is 9 Months Old!

Our Nater Skater is 9 months old! He is our little Chubba Wubba and is so good natured most of the time that we know we are spoiled.
At the zoo on 3-19-09

Stats:
Nate weighs in at 20 pounds 12 ounces this month.


Eating Habits:
This month, Nate continued visiting Wendy, the feeding therapist. The Zantac seems to be helping with his reflux. He is not spitting up hardly at all any more and is now eating about 6 ounces every two to three hours. This month Nate completely stopped nursing and is now just a formula baby. He seems to being doing well on the formula and so Mommy is very happy! Also this month Nate tried some fun foods, starting with prunes, and boy did he make a mess. He also loved noodles, waffles, bread, pizza crust, strawberries, blueberries, peas, roast and potaoes. Another favorite thing this month is drinking out of a sippy cup. He is becoming such a big boy!

Sleeping Habits:
Nate is finally sleeping through the night every night now. We still swaddle him when we are out and want him to sleep, like at church, but don't usually worry about it when at home. He has been waking up about 7:30 or 8 most days. Nate is still taking two naps a day, the first around 10 or 11 and the second around 1 or 2. He is ready for his bed between 7 and 8.

Firsts This Month:
Nate had his first Otter Pop on March 1st. He loved it even though it was cold and was stained blue for a while.
At cousin Rigg's birthday party, Nate pushed his first truck around. (3-16-09)

Nate is pulling himself up and trying to walk around things. He has only taken like one step along the couch, but walking is coming too fast for Mommy.

Because It Makes Us Laugh:
What a face, Nate was falling asleep in the Johnny Jump-up and gave me this look when I took his picture and some video instead of taking him out.(2-28-09)


Nate and Zane trying to take a nap together in Nate's bed. This didn't last long before Zane wanted out and Nate was crying, but it was cute for a while. (3-18-09)
Nate has started "Gorilla Walking" outside on the concrete or grass and on the tile when he crawls. We had to get a little bit on video because it is so funny. (3-16-09)


Nater, we love you and are so happy that you are in our family!
