9 Months Old

eating :  Gage's eating habits are awesome! He nurses about every 3-4 hours and he eats 3 solid meals a day. He is no longer eating baby food, unless for whatever reason I don't have a meal for him or he can't eat what we are eating. Otherwise he just eats whatever I make for the whole family. Which I love! Ryder hated anything that wasn't puréed so it's a nice change to have an easy eater. His favorite food ever is pasta. He's definitely my child.

Sleeping:  Gage is still sleeping pretty good. He has cut out his late afternoon cat nap and just naps twice a day. Because he no longer has a late nap he does get pretty fussy between 5:00-7:00 which is hard when I'm trying to do dinner and clean up the house for the night. He still does get up atleast once a night to eat. Unless he's teething, like he is now, then he'll get up more than that.  Or if Tyson put him to bed he'll magically sleep through the entire night.... WTF??

Milestones: Lots of crawling, climbing, pulling himself up on things and attempting to walk. He'll also stand on his own if he knows something is behind him to catch his fall. He's also mastered sneaking into the bathroom when I'm not looking and putting both hands on the toilet seat. I. Die. 

We are also putting him in his big boy car seat this week!

Dislikes: being hungry, getting dressed, getting his diaper changed, getting his face wiped, when you take things away from him or try to make him sit still. He also hates to cuddle since he's so busy and it totally breaks my heart!

Likes: crawling, getting into everything, making lots of noises, pulling hair, wrestling the dog and Ryder, food, and putting everything in his mouth. He also gets so excited to see his daddy at the end of each day. It's pretty sad when both boys run to Tyson like its so hard to be with me all day!

Here's what Gage has been up to this month
