9 month check up this month. went good. no shots just a finger prick and handled it like a champ. at this check up they check their development and she said to keep watch over him because he isn't saying "mama" or "dada" or any words yet. he is vocal though. says "eee" or "eehhh" alot and will grunt or screetch when trying to communicate.
officially crawling. got 4 teeth at once this month..top 2 and bottom 2. claps hands and claps fist (so cute) got first ear infection :-( when we went to the doctor-she said that it looked like it was mostly healed on its own but she still prescribed antibiotics for 10 days. which really helped with mood and sleep. Stands holding on and pulls self up when holding onto furniture or mommy and daddy. crawls so fast and flips over when getting diaper changed. not really a fan of that anymore..needs distraction. very squirmy and wiggly baby when getting diaper changed. getting less clingy but still a mamas boy.
Outings: trip to Georgia. got to meet all of mommy and daddy's friends and their babies. lots of play dates.
went to the zoo and mcwane center (loved the tot area) went on lots of golf cart and wagon rides at pops and sasa's house and loved that too. also went to the pool a few times.
grandma A came to visit.
