Colter - 9 Months

I know I am a day early, but I better write this post while I have the time. Colter will be 9 months old tomorrow. Can I say wow! I can't believe that 9 months have gone by already! So he has officially become the "third" child. His baby book is empty, he has not had his 6 months check up, yes I said 6 month check up. I have fallen a wee bit behind. BUT I have kept up with pictures. I do all my photo albums on Shutterfly and he is up to date so far. So he may not have a complete baby book, but he will have plenty of pictures to look back upon.

I can't even really post to much about stats cause I really don't even know. I think he is around 20 lbs now, maybe a bit more. He is growing and growing. He has kept that same laid back attitude he's had all along. Just content to chill.

Colter is starting to really turn over and enjoy tummy time. He has been able to roll back to front for awhile, he just never did. But now he is making it more part of his routine.

He has NO interest in food. I've tried lots of different things and he is just not having it. I'm not too worried he is not lacking calories if you know what I mean. I will keep trying different foods and eventually I am sure he will pick up on the food thing. He eats about 4-6oz of formula every 3 hours during the day. We have him on soy-based formula, he just seems to do better. He gets 2tsp Karo syrup twice a day to keep him regular.

He is sleeping through the night most nights. Colter goes to bed about 7:30pm and sleeps till 7am If he does wake during the night, I feed him and he is off to sleep right after. He is still napping twice a day 9am - 11am and 2:30pm-4pm. Yay for naps!

He is just starting to sit up with some assistance, he is really not that motivated. We have been working with him for the last couple of months and he is getting better but he still cannot sit alone. We have been putting him in his Exersaucer to help develop some muscle tone. He does pretty well, he just lifts his feet up, like refusing to touch the ground. It's a bit funny!

Oh and yes we have 1 lil tooth poppin through on the bottom! Just saw it yesterday!

Colter is like I said a great baby! He is just happy all the time, he really is never fussy. It has really been a blessing. He travels great, he loves his binky, smiles all the time and just adds so much happiness to out lives.

Here are some of my favorite pictures of Colter this past month.
